Height of the machine? I am wondering if any owners of the Bowflex Sport can measure the unit accurately and post how tall it is?

I have the sport -- just purchased from Amazon about 2 weeks before Christmas. I just measured mine -- folded up it is about 87" high. The lat bar is about 84" high. Assembly does require a few inches as you need to have room to insert the lat bar into the main assembly. Hope this helps.

Replaced my previous answer after double-checking the specs. The machine is 80 inches tall, so about 6'8". We set this up in a room that we re-purposed as a gym. I'm 6'4" and it is comfortable to use.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I just remembered I got this email. Anyway, I don't have a tape measure with me at the shop today. I will try to do that tomorrow. But what I can tell you is, at the old shop I worked at we had the vintage barber chairs and this chair is very comparable in height and the amount of height you get from pumping it up. my other Barber is 6 foot 2 and he has no issue with the height of the chair.And all the other stuff is great too. I've had it since May and it is still extremely sturdy.

Yes it does and it has a height adjustment. The machine works great. I am rather tall and I still get a great range of motion. Love the seated pull, almost as good as a rowing machine. The weights travel up and down a post. I applied lubricant to make the lift motion smoother. Went together easy if you have any mechanical ability.

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

I'm considering a Bowflex, and have the same issue. Do you think it's possible to tilt the machine back, insert the vertical beam, then return it to a vertical position and screw the parts together? Thanks.

Actually, you'll be able to use it to get the exact height if it does inclined measurements. It's designed for bowhunters. The 500AS does that sort of thing.

I'm 5'3" and a lot lighter than 245. I think it may feel a bit small for you given it feels pretty comfortable for me. Sometimes sporting goods stores have similar machines set up, so you may want to 'size' a similar machine in the store first. This is what I did but for a different reason...I needed to size it for the room/space where it is kept. Sometimes a visual helps.

I just went and measured the one in our gym. I stood on the top step and measured from my head to the bottom of the stairmaster and it measured 8 to 8 1/2 feet and I am 5'5". We also measured from the console of the machine to the bottom and that measured 7 feet.

Mo, it is not suitable for a tall person. also, the quality of this machine is poor. Choose something else. Boris

The max stride is only about 26" or so. I really like this little machine, but I would not recommend it if you want to be able to make a long stride. It gives a good workout, seeing YOU do all of the work, no motor. I am 5'2 3/4" tall, the stride or stretch is not really there. Hope this helps!

Are both machines comfortable for people 6' tall? My husband has a problem finding a machine that will allow his legs to completely straighten out, making him feel like he's squating or crouching slightly throughout his stride.

Hi Charmaine. First of all, I love this machine. Greatest purchase I've ever made. And I keep mine always open, using the suggested rubber mat, on carpet. Okay, now as far as height goes, I measured the length of the fullest extension (which correlates to your leg length, heel to top of leg), and it measures 37 inches. So depending on leg length will answer your question about a 6'3" person. You do want a full extension. And I guess I'd have to say there is no minimum height requirement. Your drag is in the blades pushing the water, the greater a workout you want, the faster you will need to row. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask me anything.

I don't own it yet, but the unit is 92" (8ft, 8" tall). It can be ordered directly from Trapeze Rigging and they provide instructions to ask for a shorter unit. The "standard" one from them without the cross bar is 7ft.

I am not real clear as to what the question is. I can only comment on the Bowflex Xtreme 2 that I own. I do not have experience with any other Bpwflex model.
