Currently I am 5'8", weigh 261, will this machine support me with a max weight of 250?

Yes it will. My husband is 6 ft and weighs 270 and he has no problem using it. Laura

I am 5'9" and weigh 190 and the machine works pretty good for me but I would not recommend it for a larger person. It is not that stable and I do not think it would work that well for you. I was using mine the other day and the right foot pad broke off. I think that came from over tightening the bolts. You could probably make it work for you but I would not recommend it. Hope this helps

I'm really sorry but I do not think so. I'm 5"4 and around 205lbs myself -even though I really do like this machine- I do have concerns myself that it shakes a bit and I worry that I am too big even though I weigh less than the max. Your money would be better spent on a machine designed to support your body-unless you lose 15 lbs before ordering it. I know that sounds awful for me to say and I do not wish to hurt your feelings or offend you-I just don't want you to invest in something that might break on you or not work well for your body type. Best of luck, whatever you do decide.

It is well made, but it would depend on how often you use it and how hard you excercise on it. The foot pedals are made of hard plastic, so inevitably, will break if continuously torqued side to side. I would suggest that a commercial/gym grade machine might be better for you.

Yes it will handel that kind of weight. I am almost 400 and can comfortably sit and exercise in it.

I have this model and weigh 212lbs. I feel confident it will support your weight. Very pleased with this unit and it's stability.

I belive so. I am 160 and it is very big on me. And its adjustable so it should be good

When I first got my machine I weighed around 270. The machine handled that weight without any hesitation. I feel very confident in telling you that 300+ pounds won't shake this machine at all.

probably, especially if you sat on the bench over the center supports. I am 225lb and I can stand on it with no worries

thinking of buying for a man 5'10 inches abt 255 pounds..will it hold that wieight

Yeah I would say you could. I'm 160 and its fine. The only problem I could think is that if you sit on it, there is no support to hold the weight. Just the fabric. There is a bar in the middle that would work fine to hold you. But if your only sitting on it a few Times a month then yeah you should be fine.

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

I weigh 260lbs & it works great for me. It is extremely sturdy & I have no stability problems with any of the exercises

I have sat in my husbands lap multiple times in this chair and had no issue. He's 6'4" and easily weighs over 200 lbs so I'm confident it would support someone over 250. I have not tried it for extended periods of time but we've had them for 3 years now with no issue. Good luck!

I'm 6ft, it's not fun to move, but manageable. I imagine it doesn't matter how tall you are. It might even be easier for a shorter person. It's pretty heavy and yes the support stand is what is the problem area when trying to move it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this a reason to not buy this machine or to buy a competitor. This is a good machine and it's worth working through the minor movement hurdles.

no. I'm 5'5 and 1/2 and often feel crunched on the machine. It is a nice machine however.

Don't know about 6'7" but I'm 6'5", 225 lbs. and this machine fits me perfectly.

Definitely! There are 2 models, one that maxes out at 220 pounds and one that maxes out at 340 pounds. Buy the higher weight model and set it for a slightly higher weight than260 and reach under the chair to pull yourself down for better lift.

Yes, buy the Body Solid Home Gym Extra Weight Stack as referenced in my review. It adds 50lbs to the included weights, which is plenty of weight for a large user. I suggest just getting it when you order the machine as the included weights are easy to outgrow. I am 200 lbs and pretty fit and with the extra weight pack, I cannot max out the machine. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. I'm 6' 3" and 220 lbs. and I've used it for over a year with no problems.
