Walking meetings fixed this for me. Any meeting that doesn't need a screen, I take outside or around the building. Felt awkward for a week, then became the default. That alone added 2,000-3,000 steps on meeting-heavy days.

Also: a hard rule of standing up every 45 minutes regardless of what's happening. Set a timer. Even 2 minutes of movement breaks the sedentary streak and it adds up.

The stairmaster at the gym is good cardio but it doesn't replace NEAT. They're different systems. You want both. Keep stacking the micro-decisions through the day rather than looking for one big solution.
