I have read conflicting reviews about the width of the part that hangs over the top of the elliptical. Can you tell me the exact width? I need 3in.

I bought the lifespan elliptical and was broken. I called and Amazon is sending the replacement right now. They said they would take back the broken one when they deliver the new one. I have not recieved the new one yet and the broken one is standing in my living room. From what they said the delivery will be next week. I will let you know if everything goes smoothly and I don't get charge for it.

hmm this is at my Mom's. I didn't bother measuring it. Are you referrng to the same item? I was expecting that if it says X, then that's what it would be. When I go there again, I will measure it for you, but will say that some of the negative comments I read was not what I found. I find it safe and sturdy for her and that was most important to me. I wish it was a bit lower.

Kimberly, my wife is still using the elliptical regularly from the purchase about 2 years ago without any related issues. the sideways span is exactly one foot to the center of each foot. the front/back distance is two and a half feet based on the tip of my toes to the back of the heel (I have a 10-inch foot). I am 6 feet tall and my wife is 5 foot 4 inches and the elliptical is a good fit for both of us. I don't use much and prefer biking. I hope this helps as we have been very pleased with the product and I can be pretty tough, especially with purchasing online, which is the majority of my shopping. enjoy!

I believe it is 3/4" but already installed it. I have an Orbit Model 55661 in my garage and that is definitely 3/4".

I think you could assemble it yourself until you get to the part where you hook up the 2 handles/arms where your hands go and which move forward and backward as you exercise on the machine. Those 2 handles/arms are heavy and more importantly awkward in size and how they are attached to the machine. I would think you'd need the assistance of someone else to hold the handles/arms steady as you fasten them onto the elliptical. Hope that answered your question.

I have the same additional parts and have used the elliptical (w/out problems) even though I have not put the parts on the machine. What exactly do these parts do, and why would the machine function normally without them if they are necessary (perhaps over time you'd have problems...)?

I just measured mine- it sticks out about 3 1/2 inches. I love mine- it has really helped me get organized!

Not sure why mine is a different size from the previous response, but I double-checked it and it's just over 3.25 inches.

I own a VSTV4 and put a measuring tape on it. The distance between the front feet and back feet is 54 inches, so the "footprint" is 54 inches. But the amount of space required by the VSTV4 is longer than this. The front of the elliptical extends out 10 inches beyond the front feet. As the pedals move they extend out behind the rear feet by 6 inches at their maximum. So the room space needed to operate my VSTV4 is 70 inches.

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 have a Smoothfitness elliptical and it works with mine. My elliptical has a stepping motion whereas some ellipticals have more of a shuffling motion. Maybe that makes a difference.

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?

It fits nicely over 3/4". The inside dimension is about 1/16" less than that, as it is not perfectly square (meaning the sides slope inwards slightly). You could probably fit it over 7/8" if you needed to.

I am using the adapter with Gold's gym upright bike 299. I cannot answer whether it will work with your elliptical. There are adapters which come with variable size and design plugs and this is what I purchased to replace the adapter for my elliptical. This might be a safer approach.

I will try and measure it next time I hit the gym and remember a tape measure.It is roughly a 45.5-55, I'm trying to attach some pics that show the measurement.

Thank you. I already ordered it, and then thought about it. That measurement will work out perfectly.
