Is this bench too high for me in flat position since I'm only 5'5"?

Hi Not sure on that, my son was 5'10" and he had no problems, I am 6'1 and I had no problems, plus I measured this up to one of my other benches before I boutht it and they were the same height. I think you should be fine, If not you can always return it. It is by far the best bench I ever bought and I had allot of them. good luck

I'm 5'9 and at first the bench felt a bit high, but I read a post about putting the bench into the first incline position which just slightly tips up the top and lowers the bottom of the bench and this allowed me to put my feet flat on the ground without feeling like the bench is in an incline position. If this is still too tall for you, you could place your feet on the feet of the bench which will elevate them a bit. Your best bet would be to find a place where you can try it out. I really hope this bench works for you because this is an amazing bench for the price. Their Dumbbells are next on my list of products. I am officially an Ironmaster fanboy now.

I use this bench regularly with a 4 inch step at the bottom. I am 5'10.5" and have a 31" inseam. Unless you have a 36" inseam, it will probably be too high but very easy to modify. Just get an old step-aerobics adjustable step, very cheap, and you are good to go. I have had someone 4'11" on this with the stepper at the bottom adjusted to 8".

It might be.... I'm 5'10" and it felt a little high at first. My wife has used it though and hasn't complained but she might just not know the difference. I love it though and have no regrets. If u incline it in the first position it still feels flat, I wouldn't even call it an incline position but it makes a big difference for the legs reach.

Hi Meredith, I'm 6'5" and I think that would be high even for me....the bed itself serves as the box so there should be no need to add one on top

Yes, don't be afraid of it. I have ours set at the lowest height because I am so short but, trust me it's not flimsy at all!

well... I'm 5'2" and I find it a little uncomfortable to push because its high... I had to adjust it some. I don't think it will be too small, because youll probably end up using the top bar ..I always use the sides. :) You might have to bend a little, but not too much.

my best answer is maybe. The big problem with this bench is the size, I use and stepper to give more inclination.

no.definitely for the taller group. bought it for someone who is 5'10", he uses it at the lowest level. So tall people....this bench is amazing!

I am 5' 11" and it is fine, but I am maxed out on the seat post and have it as high as it goes. However I do like to ride my bike high in the saddle. I think you will be fine

I don't think so. The legs seem pretty stable. This bench is a great buy! I'm very satisfied!

I'd go for a better bench. This is good. But it kinda is just for someone under that. And for someone under 5'8".

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

Yes, I think so. as both previous answers are great, and you might add a thin cushion behind your back. I'm also 5'3" and and use it 4 positions back.

I am a 5'10" male, when I sit, my feet are capable of being flat on the ground, perfect level for having a laptop on your lap, or for reading. Although sometimes I extend my feet when relaxing.

No I am only 5'4 and he lowest setting for the seat is to low . So it should be able to get to a good hight for you . Love the bike .

I am 5 foot 4 and I put the seat up on it a little. So I would say "yes" to your question

Bench (where you lay down) 21", barbell rest 46" high. I am 5'5" and I don't touch the floor when I'm doing bench presses, but that could be resolved with a couple of pieces of wood or whatever you have to solve that problem. For the price this is a good workout bench. Very well made. I would recommend it. Hope this helps. Have a good day Taryn.

The bench seat itself is 19 inches in height. I stand at around 5'6 and can barely touch the ground with my feet while lying down. I have to lay straight and use the rollers for support. I don't have a problem with that though.

I am 5'5". I have the seat raised 6" from its lowest setting so I would think yes.
