If I have exactly an 8' ceiling, how tall can the user be without hitting their head?

My husband is 6 ft and we have 8ft ceilings in our basement. It works for him but is close. Also can make a slight difference on whether lean forward or back.

Mine is on the first floor of my house in an office. Floor to ceiling height is 8' 9". I am 5' 9" and when I stand on it there are 25" remaining above my head.

It's a little over 6 feet tall. Normal ceilings and you won't have a problem...

No, Your head will hit the ceiling. You need at least 8' ceiling. The pedal at its highest is about 2' from the floor.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

I am 5'10 and my wife is 5'6 and we have it in our basement with a 7 ft ceiling height. I have to use it with my shoes off but my wife can do it with shoes. I will say this that if I get on my tip toes with it on the highest incline I whack my head pretty good. My hair will hit the ceiling on a regular basis on any setting. But like you I really didn't have any other options so I just deal with it. I lean forward a little when using it and haven't had a problem yet. I have been using it for about 3 weeks but I am careful to pay attention to not whacking my head.

I'm six foot and I have more than enough headroom with an 8 foot high ceiling. A pedal at the bottom of it's orbit would be about 6 inches off the floor.

i cant say for sure (im not at home right now) but i can say its very tall. i set it up in my garage and theres only a few inches to spare. if you have a normal 8ft ceiling you should be fine. just be careful while setting it up. also you might want to get sandbags or something as a counterweight. it tends to tilt and slide easily if its not weighed down properly. but i would highly recommend this product for its cost, ease of assembly, and structure. its very sturdy for such a cheap product. the only bad thing i can say is theres not enough counterweight.

I am 6'2" and it is fine for me. I would not put it in a room with less than an 8' ceiling for someone as tall as you are.

You can put it all the way to the top of a 7.5 foot ceiling/wall. The bottom of the unit is supposed to be about 30-39 inches off the floor.... an 8 foot ceiling would fit within that range probably as well...

7 ft ceiling should work. Because, your leg won't be vertically straight. both of your feet will always stay on the pedals. the extreme positions of pedals are: high 12" and low 4" from ground. when two pedals are at same height, they are 8" from ground. Do the math, the lowest position of the tip of your head: 5'9" + 4" = 6' 1" < 7'the highest position of the tip of your head: 5'9" + 8" = 6' 5" < 7'You will have more than 5" clearance from ceiling most of time.

I too have 8 ft ceilings.....almost.... This is above my stove area. I would say about 13 inches. But it looks good.

If your ceiling is 8 feet or so, the chains are adjustable and at their full length should make it low enough to reach. My wife is under 5 feet and she can reach.

Yes, our ceiling is 8 feet. We put it in our bedroom so I bought a swag kit at the local big box store.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling. I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

I would question how stable the lift would be at that height. I used mine on a standard 8 foot ceiling without any help from anyone. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

I measured from the floor to the top of the pullup bar as 86.5 inches. So if you're going to pull your chin over it you'll need 86.5 inches plus a little more than the distance from your chin to the top of your head. I say a little more because you'd hate to get your head wedged in there lol. With an 8ft ceiling you should be able to pull your chin to it with your head tilted back a bit. Kind of like you're stretching your chin up a bit to reach it but you wouldn't be able to pull up until your chest touches the bar.. or at least i wouldn't
