can this be adjusted to incorporate shorter individuals. what is the best length for folks who are 5' tall?

yes. Stand on the rope with one foot and the handles should a little above the chest.

at my gym, they said a good "rule of thumb" to determine proper length, is to stand on the rope and pull your hands (with the rope handles in them) to your eye level. That would be proper length... that being said, i prefer mine slightly shorter than that and adjusting this rope is really easy. Since you'll want it much shorter than mine, i would think you would want to trim the excess rope because it will be clumsy and annoying to work with but can easily be done with some sort of plier or snips. hope this helps...

Yes you can adjust it to any size, it's very easy. As for your size you want to step on the rope with one foot and have it so the handles are at your shoulder.

The instructions only tell you the usual (stand on rope and adjust it so the end of handles are 6inches under collar bone) but if you're around 5'5 or under there will be lots of excess rope and this rope is not at all easily cut! Even bolt cutters wouldn't do it for me and when I eventually (finally) cut one end off I was left with a twisted mangled mess where it was cut!

It's very easy to adjust..the ebook explains how to adjust it for your height. This rope is very well designed..and very easy to adjust and use.

Yes, this rope is easily adjusted. There are instructions that come with it to help you choose the right height for you. I'm 5'10". Also, my crossfit coach was very impressed with the quality of this rope, even more so when I told him the price. Most comparable ropes are around $80-$100.00.

I'm 5 foot 10 inches and a 260 pounds, and I would have liked it to adjust just a little smaller. So i;m sure it will work well with a much taller person. Hope this helps.

I am 5'3" and it works fine for me. You should be able to adjust it to fit your height. You will probably be pleased with how light it is.

No. It cannot be adjusted; however, my wife is 5'4" and it is easy for her to use.

I purchased this for my husband who is 6ft, however, I happen to be 5'2" myself and i use it very often. It is easily adjusted for different heights. We both enjoy riding the bike. Hope this helps.

Yes. I would estimate these settings would work for anyone in the range of 5'7" to 6' 4". You'd have to ask someone shorter to determine whether it works for people shorter than that. It depends on personal preference to some extent.

It's adjustable. My husband who is 5'5" used it with a 5'10" friend with no problem.

I'm not sure, my partner is only 5'10 but he has to have the seat down all the way. You should email the people at sixthreezero and ask if it will accommodate someone that tall. They have the best customer service ever

On the model I bought, it cannot be adjusted. At 5'2", it would be way to high for you.

I am 5'10". I use the stick at its fullest extension. It has 4 settings. If you put it on the shortest setting, it should work for you.

If imagine it'd work anyone over 5'1" or so... Maybe even smaller. It's very adjustable.

Definitely, if you can figure out how to adjust the length. It is supposed to adjust for individual height. I have not done so yet. Hopefully someone will reply who has adjusted it, so that you are sure.

I'm only 5'1" and it works fine. I don't know if your height would make a difference or not. Sorry I couldn't really help.

Yes, my wife is 5' tall and I bought another one that did not specify height requirement until I received it. Unfortunately the first one was for a 5'5" to 6' tall person. I then ordered this one, and it fit her perfectly.

Yes the cane is adjustable and I think it would work for you. I'm 5'3 and there are still 3 more adjustments to make it shorter. Hope this helps.

In my opinion, yes. I am 5'10" and I have the seat adjusted about half-way. If you have the seat all the way forward it should accommodate a 5' person.
