What is the step-up height for this treadmill? We have low basement ceilings and I'm wondering if my wife and will be able to run without hitting our head. How much space would you recommend having between the top of your head and the ceiling?

  Hi David. Treadmills are really no more than a foot off the floor when standing on the belt so it will not bring you that much higher. You can always contact Proform directly if you want an exact measurement to be sure you will have room in your home.
