The peripheral skirt is arranged with a front recessed cut-out section for accommodating a user of the exercise desk. The cut-out section is defined at least in part by opposed facing skirt walls. The desk also includes exercise elements in the form of a pair of parallel bars mounted respectively from the opposed facing skirt walls and accessible to the user of the exercise desk and a pull-up bar having opposed ends that are supported from the planar top work surface member adjacent respective opposed facing skirt walls.
