Rowing Machine (upright storage) Dimensions & Clearance Requirements

Total floor space required

2' 4" (0.7 m) x 3' 9" (1.1 m)

The rowing machine (upright storage) itself measures 2' (0.6 m) x 2' (0.6 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: 0' 2" (0.1 m): Wall standoff for cables, airflow, and maintenance access.
left: 0' 2" (0.1 m): Side space for spotters, loading plates, and passing traffic.
right: 0' 2" (0.1 m): Side space for spotters, loading plates, and passing traffic.
