Is this a good rowing machine for a 5 ft tall person?

Yes this is a good rowing machine for a 5 foot tall person. It is easily adjustable for height. We love ours but we are both taller. My daughter is 5"2" and she is able to use it easily as well.

Carolina, I would not recommend to you to buy this particular rowing machine. It is poorly made, parts fall out and it makes a lot of horrible noise. I had a number of rowing machines, this one is by far the worst...It lasted me about 3 months. The customer service is bad as well. If you want an outrigger, look into Kettler or Stamnia. Regards, Boris

I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches. My only issue is occasionally lightly bumping the rear of the seat on the rail stops in full leg extensions. I'd predict that legs 32" and below would be perfect for full extension clearance and upper body movements. The rollers are a bit noisy but otherwise mine has been a very reliable outrigger rower allowing the additional upper body range of motion. I keep the resistance lower for primarily toning and stretching. For the price, it's very competitive. If you're pushing yourself hard, a more robust, expensive unit like Boris recommended may be the best option. I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches.

I would say no. I row on a Concept 2 at the gym often. This thing isn't even in the ball park with that. I am 5'9" 190lbs and feel to big for it. You get what you pay for typically and this is no exception. In a pinch on a rainy day it will suffice.

Solid elliptical. Comfort level will depend on your height. An individual with short legs or less than 5'10" in height may not like this machine. Strongly suggest that you try this machine before purchase. Personally, I have been very satisfied.

Did you ever find a rowing machine for your height? I am the same height and am running into similar issues.Thanks

If you are taller that about 5'-8, do not buy this exercise bike. The seat height and arm levers are too low for anyone taller. The crank arms are also shorter than most bikes (about 150mm vs most bikes at 170-175mm).I used for knee replacement rehab which worked fine. The bike seems well built, especially for $110. All moving parts have wear bushings and the heavy flywheel gives it a good "feel" when you pedal.

Most definitely, when I rowed in college we had a 6'8" guy and he had a little extra room. Rowing is generally setup for tall guys and girls.

Hi! I'm also 5 ft tall and was wondering the same thing. Is there others who are around this height and found the machine comfortable?

This rower fits ALL heights, no height limitations, as long as you weigh less than 300 pounds; it's not in the users manual about the weight limit, but I do remember seeing it somewhere when I was researching the H2O RX-750. I'm sure you won't regret the purchase of this sturdy machine.

My question is similar to Paris French. Is this machine workable / comfortable for a 5'4" female? I had a rowing machine years ago, great workout, loved it. Don't want to buy a rower that won't fit.Thanks!

While I am 5' 11", I see no reason the equipment would not work for you mechanically. I checked the sensor on the bar that counts cycles when the seat passes it and 5' 1" will not be a problem. Generally I'm very happy with the unit.

I am also 5'2" and when working out on this machine I spend most of my time on the bike portion. We have been able to find a good height that my husband and I can both use the seat for the bike at the same height and my husband is 6'2".

I am 5'10" and feel like I am sufficiently forward. It is s very good machine for the money.

I am 5'10" and, from my setting I was able to move the seat back at least another 6 inches. I think you'll be okay. It's a great machine!

I would not recommend this set to anybody...but I don't think your size would be an issue. I am 6'3" and 210 pounds and all was well as far as size is concerned. It is an inexpensive machine...and I ended up not liking it and selling it for 50 bucks. Spend more and enjoy your workout!

My son is 5'2". He's had this bike for two years. So, my guess is that this bike will work for you. At 5'2" my son is probably only riding this bike for another year. It's a sturdy well built bike that has served him well.

'Yes It is a good value for the money. I love mine. I f you are a tall person over 5'8" it doesn't get clear to top of shoulders but I am 5'3" and it works great. Very happy with it.

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.
