How high must my ceiling be if I am 5'4" doing a workout routine that includes bouncing?

To play it safe, you're not going to bounce more than 2 feet so add 2 feet plus your height plus about 1 foot for the distance between the floor and the trampoline mat and the total should be the minimum height of your ceiling. To confirm this recommendation, please call JumpSport and speak to one of their support staff. Good luck!

My ceiling is not very high too, and my husband is 5'3" high and he do not touch it. Emilie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U931PtC1YNA

I had the same concern when I bought this machine. Our ceiling in our gym is only 7'6" but I still have more than the width of my hand above my head when I'm on the machine. I'm 5'11". Hope that helps.

I am 5'10 and my wife is 5'6 and we have it in our basement with a 7 ft ceiling height. I have to use it with my shoes off but my wife can do it with shoes. I will say this that if I get on my tip toes with it on the highest incline I whack my head pretty good. My hair will hit the ceiling on a regular basis on any setting. But like you I really didn't have any other options so I just deal with it. I lean forward a little when using it and haven't had a problem yet. I have been using it for about 3 weeks but I am careful to pay attention to not whacking my head.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

Dear Celeste,The height of the walls from the bounce floor to the top of the side bar is 5.5 feet.Sincerely,Blast Zone Support

Your head will be just grazing the ceiling if you have the incline all the way up, otherwise you should just fit. Max pedal height is 20" but your knee is bent at the top of the cycle and your head stays at a constant height while exercising.

I'm 6' 3" using the tranp in a room with a 9' ceiling. My most energetic sessions put my head within a foot of the ceiling. I do not raise my arms above shoulder level so have no concern about height. That is about all I can offer to help you decide. I use the tranp almost every day. I hope this has helped.

The ceiling in my main bath is 8 feet & it works fine but is a bit 'shaky'. I wouldn't go higher than that.

From Schwinnfitness.com "The maximum height of the footplate is 17" (43 cm). Add that to your height, plus several inches for comfortable clearance, to calculate the minimum ceiling height." I have an old 431 elliptical with the same 17" petal height, our basement ceiling tiles are at about 80" (6" 8").. I'm 5'6" and have enough room without removing any ceiling tiles. (My 431 has started making some noises after many years of use so am researching new models for a similar size/footprint.)

This was posted on the Schwinn Website for the Schwinn 460. It was answered by one of their CS Reps. Q: I am 5'10". How high does my ceiling need to be to operate this unit? Asked on 2/7/2011 by Andy from MN Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer CUSTOMER CARE A: The maximum height of the pedal is 22.5 inches from the floor, so you can add that to your height to determine your minimum ceiling height ---------------------- So the gentleman would need 92.5 inches = 7 feet 8 1/2 inches of ceiling height. That is pretty tall ceiling in a bedroom.

Our ceiling is 7'8" which is lower than the standard 8'. I am 5'5" and my husband is 5'8". Neither of us have any trouble with hitting the ceiling with our hands or anything. We both rotate our arms sometimes or do air punches above our heads with no trouble. Good luck.

If I use my rebounder at night I can see my reflection in a glass door. I was surprised to see how little extra height is attained. For most rebounding, as one commenter put it, "you don't get a lot of air", maybe a couple of inches.

I would say no, it will not work. The foot pedal at its highest point is almost 19 inches off the floor. Add a person 70 inches tall,, that equals 89 inches. If the ceiling is truly 7 feet/84 inches, then you need 5 more inches for clearance. Or you could lean forward a little, but probably not the best idea.

You may not be able to do full range of motion chinups. I have a similar setup and I can't go down all the way on my chins and I most often only rise up to the point where my nose is at the bar to avoid hitting the ceiling. 6 ft tall.

There are some moves in Insanity that require you to move side to side and front to back, so you'll probably need 8ft by 6ft area to work out in. The ceiling was only an issue when doing the High Jump exercise on the Core Cardio & Balance DVD. You shouldn't come close to your ceiling on any of the plyo exercises.

Normal 8' ceiling is all I have. The ceiling doesn't matter, you will have to adjust the teeter hang up to your height. I'm 5'6 and my boyfriend is 6'4 and we have no problem
