Elliptical Dimensions & Clearance Requirements
Total floor space required
5' 7" (1.7 m) x 9' 10" (3.0 m)
The elliptical itself measures 2' 4" (0.7 m) x 6' 7" (2.0 m), but it cannot be used in that space alone. The figure above includes the clearance required on every side.
Clearance, side by side
- front: 1' 8" (0.5 m)
- Working space for the user — entry, exit, and the movement itself.
- back: 1' 8" (0.5 m)
- Wall standoff for cables, airflow, and maintenance access.
- left: 1' 8" (0.5 m)
- Side space for spotters, loading plates, and passing traffic.
- right: 1' 8" (0.5 m)
- Side space for spotters, loading plates, and passing traffic.
How many fit in your space?
20 × Elliptical
Based on 5' 7" (1.7 m) x 9' 10" (3.0 m) per unit including clearance. A straight grid with no shared clearance or walkways, so treat it as a floor, not a finished layout.
