Cardio machines for Indian flats

A treadmill raises you 12–25 cm off the floor before you start running, and running adds another 12 cm of travel. Under a fan hanging at 2.45 m, a tall user runs out of room quickly. Check your height on the fit checker before you look at motors.

Good to know

What ceiling height do I need for a treadmill in India?

The ceiling is rarely the limit — the fan is. India's building code sets a 2.75 m minimum for habitable rooms, but fan blades typically hang around 2.45 m, and that is what you reach first.

Will a treadmill fit through my door?

A standard Indian bedroom door is 900 mm wide, about 865 mm clear after the frame. Folded treadmills usually pass; assembled ones often do not, and the delivery carton is larger than both.
