How is this rower for a 5'.0 woman?

The rower is awesome and since it's full range of motion it acomodates a 5'0 woman perfectly. I'm 5'4 and since Christmas I'm down 10 pounds from rowing. It's easy in joints and I get a full workout using every muscle group wihout too much pressure in any one area. Great investment! My 300 pound 6'0 husband enjoys it as well.

I am a tall woman, but there is nothing about this rower that would make short height an issue. You simply will push back less far on the track with your shorter leg length. You should have no problem with the height of the pull bar either. Most of my height is in my leg length, so my shoulders, when seated, are at the same height as a short to average woman's - and the bar height works for me.

I'm 5'1 & it works well for me. I've only had it for a few months but enjoy it very much.

The seat slides forward and backwards. Have you watched the video that is included with the pictures of the rower? I'm only 5'1" and can reach the pedals just fine when the seat is all the way back. My daughter is only 4'11" and she can use it just fine.

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

I am a 5"10 female. This snow blower is well worth the purchase. I am not petite by any means. This snow blower is not afraid to go through some pretty good size drifts. It did not have any affect on my back. So I hope this helps a little. So easy to assemble that was a big plus.

Hi Rebecca! I purchased the Schwinn Elliptical 431 and I am just 4'11" tall and found that this trainer is perfect for me. I cannot use most of the elliptical trainers at my club because of their long stride. This is a perfect fit for me. I grab the center part of the handlebars rather than the ends (though I am able to do both) and have found it to be quite comfortable. The stride is perfect for the petite person! This trainer would not be the best for a really tall person. My husband is 5'11" and finds the stride and handle bars to be terrific. Lee

I am 5' 10" and it works great for me. There is even extra height I could go to so I don't think you should have an issue. It is one of the better units.

I purchased one several years back and loved it. I am 5'8" about 175. You can use this to get cardio - I have done it easily. You can really push your workout and get cardio within 20 or so minutes or less. You can lean forward or back to increase the tension (your weight is the tension). You can push the handles faster, you can generate the widest range of motion - good for your joints. I recently have used rowers because they work in my space better, but I LOVE the Gazelle - great for the money. Good luck!

I am 5'4" and I am using this machine to work my shoulders, core and lower back. I find that by adjusting my legs i.e. push with legs and knees (shoulders, back), straight legged (core, shoulders, back), and alternate weight on each leg (core, back) that I am getting the desired results I wanted. By focusing on which muscles I want to work on, I find my body works on them accordingly. Hope this helps you. I really love this machine. I crave my sessions on it as opposed to dreading that 'work-out'. Very relaxing and you can work as hard or soft as you like.

I am only 5' tall and I could actually cycle comfortably on 1 setting above the lowest. I did lower it down to lowest setting and feels even better. Overall, it is hard to find a bike that fits a short person so I am extremely happy this one works for me.I just measured my inseam and it is 28" but remember shoes might add another inch or two if your inseam is lower.

I'm 5'6" and 166 lbs and I have no issues with it. When you first start to use it, it can be uncomfortable on your neck and shoulders but the more you wear it the easier it gets. You can also condition your way up to the full way by removing some sand bags and working your way back up to it. Just be cautious with the types of workouts your doing.

If he has long legs for his height this rower will be too short. I'm only 5ft 4in and I use a lot of the rail

My wife is 5'1" and she can use it. I am 6' and it works fine so should also work for someone 6'4". Actually the machine is not very loud at all. I find turning the TV or music up just a tad more than usual works fine while exercising.

My wife is 5'1" and she reaches the pedals just fine. For adjusting to a person's height, the seat slides back or forward along a sloping beam. There are several "stops" along the beam. The adjustment range is quite extensive. You are going to love this bike! Get someone to help assemble it. The instructions are clear and precise, but it takes a long time and getting help speeds up the process.

Solid elliptical. Comfort level will depend on your height. An individual with short legs or less than 5'10" in height may not like this machine. Strongly suggest that you try this machine before purchase. Personally, I have been very satisfied.

Could you please tell me your opinion....can a 5'1" woman use this machine? I need someone's advice and since you have the machine, you would know better than some kid at a store.
