I only have 84" ceilings in my basement.....this measures 83" in height....my question is, do I need more than 83" clearance to actually install this?

This is kind of tricky. You're thought process is correct. I know you don't have the additional vertical space but what you can do is have another person with you and tilt the bench on its side and then lift it up slowly sliding the bench towards you as you are doing it. I hope this helps. Michael Lyons Professional Fitness Concepts

I am 5'-10" with an 88" ceiling height. I have the same question. Spoke with Schwinn customer service but they couldn't help. Suggested I go to a store and try it out and measure how high my head goes!

It would be close probably ok if you set it up so head is between joists. I have plent of clearance with a 8" ceiling and am 6"2 and short legs all upper body I do have to move away from a ceiling fan that hangs down a little more than a foot. It is a great price of equipment though and would highly recommend it if you have the space

My ceilings are 102" (8.5 feet) and it fits great. As far as a minimum height, I'm not so sure. I hope this helped. It's the best thing I've ever bought for a pet ever.

I would say no, it will not work. The foot pedal at its highest point is almost 19 inches off the floor. Add a person 70 inches tall,, that equals 89 inches. If the ceiling is truly 7 feet/84 inches, then you need 5 more inches for clearance. Or you could lean forward a little, but probably not the best idea.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

I am 5 10 and the room where I use this has an 82 inch ceiling. I cannot raise the incline of the machine without hitting the ceiling. It's still acceptable for me. If you have a sporting goods store that carries this, go with a friend and bring a tape measure to measure height.

I use mine with a normal 8 foot ceiling and have no problem. I'm 6'5" for reference.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

Sorry that will not work. I don't have to measure it to tell you, we have ten foot ceilings and our 5 year old gandson sits up on the bed and only has about 8" of clearance above his head.

It is not 96". I set it up in a room with 8' ceilings and it had several inches of clearance. I believe the Amazon number of 84" or your number of 86" is correct. At 84"-86" it should fit in your 88" room. One may also bend the metal arms down slightly to gain a few more inches. My photo at Amazon is an apartment model with 10' ceilings.

Paul, This bar has plenty of room for you. I installed in out basement with 9' ceilings and works great. Hope this helps. Mark

My house has low ceilings (8 foot) and above average height people. It hangs probably 24 inches. It's enough clearance, but hangs lower than looks in the picture.

I had the same concern, wanting to mount this fan in a room with 8 foot ceilings. You cannot remove or shorten the downrod, it is needed for the clearance of the fan blades from the ceiling.but because the fan blades are mounted on the top of the motor you still have enough height from the floor.I have had this fan in operation for five months and really like it. It makes almost no noise.

Don't forgt the incline... at 10% it will reduce your ceiling clearance by around 3-4 inches

Absolutely! Mine is installed in my family room with 8' ceilings. I had the same concerns, but it worked out beautifully!

The ceiling in my main bath is 8 feet & it works fine but is a bit 'shaky'. I wouldn't go higher than that.
