Would this work for a bigger person?

The only issue I can see with this machine is the lack of height adjustment. Someone quite tall with long legs or a really long torso could have issues/not be able to get full benefit from the machine perhaps, otherwise it is a very strong & sturdy machine, I would think it would be good for any body type.

I don't really know. I am about 5'6" and weighed 200 when I started using it. (I'm down to 172 now!). I guess it depends on how big. You could be somewhat bigger than I was. It adjusts.

I am 59, 230 and 5'7" and I can workout just fine but I can not lay my hand by my sides. I rest them on my chest or hold the shoulder pegs. Good luck.

I'm 5'7 and it's fine for me. I find the platform could use a little more padding. I read the maximum weight to be 300 lbs.On QVC it is demonstrated by women. Not sure how it would work for a man.

Maybe, but I wouldn't buy it. I'm 190lbs and broke the thing the third time I used it.

Yes it will. It has straps that adjust to different that are adjustable, with plenty of slack, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm a large guy and it works for me.

I'm 5'5 and it works for me. I think that would be the correct size for you. It has really helped my back.

My husband who is 6´ and 220 lb. tried it on. He thinks that it would probably work.

I believe so. My wife is 5'1 (barely but thats what she says) and it work great for her. It can pull pretty tight across the body if needed.

It sort of depends on how tall you are. If your not over 6'1", I think it will. Mine works Greeaatt!

I guess it would be, as long as you're not extremely heavy. It's sturdier than I had thought. You may want to take the measurements into account.

It would work for you. I am petite as well and it worked very well. Just make sure you try it as soon as you get it because when I bought a replacement recently after many years it did not work at all. By the time I went to use it I discovered it did not work at all and had already thrown away the box and it was too late to return it.

It did not for me. I am 260 LBS and did not have any problems. It was well made

It's big enough for the average person, but if the person is tall or heavy, probably wouldn't be the best choice. I love the chair!

it's not a very large chair. More of a medium. It should support a larger man no issue just may not be overly comfortable. And every bit of help in lifting is beneficial.

I don't believe it would. It was bought for a large short woman and it barely worked. Good luck

Yes, it should, unless you're 6'4" and weigh 300 lbs. it's a great product and I think it will fill your needs.

It might, at least one person indicates it works. But I am 6'2" and it is definitely too small for me. the chin and one side part needs to be much bigger around to offer any support to me. From shoulder to ear I am almost 5" and relatively slender.

I used it with my Dad who was 93 and weighed about 130 pounds. The one I got was very large and would not sound unless he actually got up. I'm going to say that I believe it would work because it is very sensitive, and if it did not, they are good about refunding your money or swapping.

I think it would work for someone 5' 3". I'm 6' 1" and 245 pounds so I wasn't really thinking about the chair for someone smaller than I, but the canvas sags down a bit so I would think even a shorter person could sit in it. However, it's overkill for a smaller person, because it's a big wide chair and really designed for big guys. You might look at a "regular" size chair, which probably would be cheaper, too.
