Does anyone know how high off the ground the running surface is? It is going to be close whether I will be able to use it in my basement or not!

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.

I have mine on mat on top of carpet and it is 8 inches from the mat to the top of the running surface.

I cannot say for sure. Our house is a rambler with a basement that is only 3 feet in the ground and so it is not as tall as a house that goes up two stories from ground level but it did do a good job on our siding and under the eves. Sorry I can't be of more help. K

I did, the run has nothing underneath it though. I got a piece of scrap laminate and slid it under so the couldn't ruin my floor. Also it does take up a bit of room so check the measurements and check your available space :)

Hi, The bar is right at 7 feet. When I do a full chin over bar pull my head and neck extend up to about the 8 foot mark. I think it might be a bit too tight for your basement application. On a side note: I put mine in my back yard about 6 months ago as part of my crossfit layout ( I spray the bolts with wd-40 every week or so to prevent rust) The set-up is still looking good even with rain and freezing temps.

We have the se issue. My wife can run on it but I cannot. It's approximately 11 inches above the floor.

I've had mine hanging in my basement for about a year and haven't had any problems. I use it regularly but haven't moved it since I first hung it up. I live in Michigan and my basement stays 50-65 F.

Are you asking what the temps were indoors and outdoors when I had it running? If so, this summer our indoor temp ran roughly around 80 upstairs, and in the basement it was always at least 10 degrees lower.

We have 8'2" ceilings. I am 6'1" and have it mounted above a doorway so I cannot touch the ground with my toes when fully extended. When I pull up, my head still misses the ceiling by about 1". All pretty close, but perfect. Keep him in the basement!

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

We live in N.Y. and play it outside most of the year. You would need to have high ceilings in the basement and plenty of open space to enjoy it fully.

It's fine to use on carpet, we have it in the basement on top of a thin carpet, it's nice for the price! My husband weighs 235 and it works well for him.

We have it in our basement and we have 7'6" ceilings. At 5' 11" I still have probably 5-7" of clearance.

It's about six inches above the floor.We have a basement gym with a low ceiling. I am 5'8" and don't have any problems but you might want to measure your "head clearance." Be sure to include the pad you'll probably want to put under the treadmill and the sneakers you'll probably use when you're running.I chose this instead of an advanced elliptical because of its lower clearance, and so far it's worked quite well.Hope this helps!Lisa

altho the unit has been a "steady eddie" it is slow and not big enough to handle my basement. If you have a large area I would get a larger model the dementions seem right in prior answer

You'll need at least 7 to 8ft for the ceiling. I tried to put it in my basement which was 6 and a half, no good.

I have one installed. I never thought about stepping on it until this question, so off I went into the area of the basement that nobody goes into to give it a test. In my installation, it's not particularly easy to step on due to the pipe placement, but I did manage it. It flexed as I did so and doesn't feel particularly safe, I wouldn't advise it for more than an accidental step while working on other equipment in the area. I wouldn't ever install it in a place where I would step on normally or with any frequency.

I didn't end up keeping this product because all the parts were not included. It is rather large, though, so it depends on how much room you have in your basement. It goes to 7.5 feet, I believe.
