I'd love to put this in my basement...My ceiling height is just shy of 7 ft and I'm 5'9". Will it work?

The pedals are about a foot off the ground at their highest position, so it should work, but it will be very close either way.

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.

Absolutely will work, ours is attached to a large screw eye in our ceiling joist. I found we were happier when the screw eye was close to a basement wall. With it close to the wall you can put your feet against the wall for some exercises.

Yes I see no problem with it fitting in your basement as long as your ceiling height is over 80 inches high. The house stands 80 inches high. You will probably have to build it in the basement because it probably wont fit through the door after it is assembled. If you ever wanted to move it out of the basement then you will have to disassemble it.

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1".when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

I am 6'2" and I can completely invert in my basement where the ceiling is just under 8' high...there is plenty of room and my feet don't even come close to touching.

I'm unsure of the height of the ceiling in my bedroom. I thought that I read that the pole does work for a 9 foot ceiling.

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...

My son has his in his basement. 8' ceiling. He loves it...he is 6'2" and climbs in with his 18 mo, old son!

It will work only if you change the chains that hold the rack. We have a 9' ceiling and we installed it and it was too high. Went to Home Depot and bought some chrome/zinc chain that was a pretty good match for the original and cut 4 pieces to proper length.

NO, read the details below the price. "Fits ceiling heights ranging from: 7 feet 6 inches to 9 feet (2.2 m-2.7 m.)"

It will fit. I am 5 foot ten with a 7 foot ceiling and i still have plenty of room. Jut don't but it under your ceiling fan cause that might hurt a bit. Fully extended i would hit my ceiling fan blades but still have about 6-8 inches left.

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 would think so. It will go up high. I have 12' ceilings and I use it to run along the molding areas up high.

Do you know what the height is from the floor to the top of the third step, I have 9 foot ceilings and I am wondering if it would work?

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 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.

Danielle, if your basement only has a 7 or 8 foot ceiling these lights would not work for you, they hang too low about 12 inches is as close as you can hang them. A flourescent 4 foot light would be a better choice,you can get a surface mount about anywhere. We love our lights and we have them on an outdoor patio and they hang about 12 foot high.
