I have around 85 inches of clearance in my basement. Will i be able to use this equipment?? Thank you in advance

No. The pulley attachment stands at least 8ft tall when attached and needs to lift up even higher to remove it. Mine is in my garage which I think has 14-16ft tall ceilings.

Its designed for a 0.80 inch line. It looks like the clearance would not allow a thicker line.

The directions say 32". (FYI, narrower gets you more inherent instability to stabilize in your exercise; wider gets you good burn in the chest for pec flyes, etc.) So considering that you'll be stuck with one distance, I'd go with Lifeline's suggested 32", which is TWO standard wall or ceiling beam distances part. That's the distance I just used in my basement and it works very well.

I just bought mines yesterday and spent about 4 hours putting it together in my 1st floor basement. I made the mistake of measuring the height of the machine in the store and comparing it to the space available where we wanted it. There was only a one inch clearance between the height that I measured on the Bowflex and the height from my floor to the ceiling. Without thinking it out further, I purchasd it and thought the one inch should be enough space... wrong answer! Due to the nature of the design, you will need at least a half a foot of clearance to allow for the machine to be constructed per the instructions (the pieces interlock and require extra space to allow the main verticle beam to be assembled together). If you insist on forcing the Bowflex into a restricted location (83 inches or thereabouts), you can do what I did (not recommended). You can build the Bowflex according to the manual right up to where you need to install the main verticle beam... and then de-construct one half of the interconnecting parts to allow this main beam to be slid into place (after piecing it together horizontally). A tricky manuever at best... but it worked. Good Luck.

you have about 83-84 inches for 5 shelving boards. So if you used every shelf it may not work. Each board is about 1" think. However, if it did not work, then skip one of the shelves, and space out the others to suit your needs. They are, of course, adjustable. That would probably give you one less shelf, but probably 15-16 inches of clearance.

A basement installation would work for the everything above the basement but would be limited on its broadcast outward. The higher you can get your Access Point the more coverage you will allow it to broad cast to. Look for a chase from yourbasement like a exhaust flu from your furnace or plumbing. If you can get it to ground level that would help. If you are only able to place it in the basement mount it on the ceiling as close to ground level as possible. Good Luck Ron B

You would need 13 1/2" clearance. You could probably squeeze it in 13 1/4", but I wouldn't recommend it.

Using the machine will raise you up over a foot. You may just clear the ceiling but it's a close call. I would put it in a room with at least an 8' ceiling.

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.

The lowest setting is 2.5 inches so I would say there would not be enough clearance.

You can use any clearance that you want, it depends on what you are using them for. I don't have enough clearance in my garage to do muscle ups but I use the rings for pushups and tricep dips. They are adjustable to any height. I could take them outside and use them for muscleups, I just have not tried that yet. For the price, the quality of the rings and the latches and the belts are all excellent!!

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

The brackets are 8-1/2" high. I don't think you can use them unless you can some get additional clearance.

I located the manual, Elizabeth. The minimum clearance height from the floor is 7'. With the down rod provided, it appears that the unit hangs 12 or 13". Hard for me to tell because it is mounted on a slant ceiling outside and was running.. So it will be very close for 8' ceiling. This is the Phone number in the manual for Emerson Technical support.....1-800-654-3545....for questions.. the fan does indeed move a lot of air..... Dorothy

My basement is only 7 feet which I think is more than adequate. I have it hanging from an I beam which lowers it even more and I still have no issues.

Follow up: Bought the treadmill for my basement. Works great. Plenty of clearance. No problems with the machine. Great for the money.

Should be OK as long as you...Insure you have at least 8ft. min. clearance all around unit. Do not set directly on wood decking. (Use 1/2" min. thick concrete protective board under it)
