Will a 5'1" woman be able to use the elliptical?

Yes, I think so. I'm 5'8" but my 10 and 7 year olds are able to use it just fine. My 7 year old has trouble with the moving arms, but I think that is more of a coordination rather then height problem. I'm not sure of the height of the screen, but I think you might be able to tilt it a little when putting it together to make seeing it easier. I love mine!

Definitely not. This will put you up to an additional 1-2 feet in height (based on a conservative guess, as I am in the office and not near my elliptical)

I doubt that it is tall enough. It is definitely long enough for an elliptical but anything above 48inches in height may be pushing it. The cover fit my 2014 Kawasaki KLR 650 perfectly. If you can compare the dimensions of the KLR to your elliptical maybe that will give you a better idea of how the cover would fit your elliptical.

I'm only 5'1" and it works fine. I don't know if your height would make a difference or not. Sorry I couldn't really help.

The exerputic does adjust for 5' actually if your taller than 6'1" you might not be able to to use it.

I am only 5'1 and the other girls in our office are about the same. You will be just fine... plenty of bend in my knee. I know what you mean about legs touching the floor when your short.

Yes you can. I am 5ft 6in and can use it in my workouts. Some one shorter than me should have no problem at all. Good training Jim

This is a very basic elliptical - whatever is average would be the answer. Even though we had to return it because of shipping damage we learned that it had all the basic strides and height.......We originally bought it because of the limited space we had.

I have the same problem about ellipticals being made for taller people. I have trouble reaching the handlebars and the stride length is often too long. The only elliptical I've found so far where I can comfortably reach the handlebars is the Precor line used in gyms, which runs about $2000 I think. I think the 576i is the one I like but it's hard to tell by the picture. Their handlebars slope towards the body so I have no problems at all. Their stride length is also comfortable for 5 feet tall.

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.

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.

My wife is about 5'7" and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat for shorter people. It should work out ok unless her legs are really short.

In my opinion, yes. I am 5'10" and I have the seat adjusted about half-way. If you have the seat all the way forward it should accommodate a 5' person.

Yes, you definitely can. I'm 5'3 and my Mom is 5'4 and we both use it with no problem. Plus it is adjustable.

I am 5'11" and My wife is 5'5" and we have no problems...it still has the range to move the seat closer or further. I can't answer for certain but it seems like it will work without issue. It is a great exercise bike...I use it every day...

Wow, that's a low ceiling. I don't think it will accommodate. Our ceiling where we used to have our old elliptical is 7 feet, and my husband who is 6'6" was able to manage, but your feet with this elliptical are really high off the ground.. almost 2' at highest level. I am 5'7" and would just be able to fit with that room. But because it doesn't for my husband, we moved it to our unfinished part of the basement, and his head has to go between the rafters!

I am also 5'2" and when working out on this machine I spend most of my time on the bike portion. We have been able to find a good height that my husband and I can both use the seat for the bike at the same height and my husband is 6'2".
