Believe in Better

At Matrix, the biggest and best ideas start with people. And not just any people. Matrix innovation begins with the most important people, our customers. We look to facility owners, personal trainers, service technicians and individual users to identify ways to improve our existing equipment and opportunities to introduce new solutions to fulfill unmet needs. Then, we experiment with solutions until we find the ones that work.


PRODUCTS + PROCESS + PEOPLE

We Listen

We believe the first step in innovation is not to act, but to listen. We listen to comments and suggestions about our equipment and our competitors’ equipment. We ask questions and reflect on the answers to get to the heart of the issue. Ultimately, we translate all kinds of feedback into equipment enhancements and prototypes.

We Experiment

We can’t be sure that we’ve found the best solution until we’ve ruled out the ones that fall short. Not every idea makes its way to a prototype. Not every prototype makes its way onto the floor. Only the best ones do. At Matrix, we know we will try some things that just won’t work. If we succeed every time, we’re aiming too low.

We Succeed

At the end of the process is an equipment improvement or a new piece of equipment altogether. A standard-setting new treadmill. New training tools for speed and power. A cycle that revolutionizes the virtual training space. The list can go on and on — and it will — because Matrix remains dedicated to discovering new and better ways to meet our customers’ needs.

Performance Plus Treadmill

We’re always striving to deliver a better running experience, both for the facilities that own our treadmills and for the fitness enthusiasts who use them. We knew slat-belt treadmills provided unique advantages for both owners and users, so we set out to bring this level of performance to the cardio floor.

Rower

We knew that rowing had evolved in the 20 years since the launch of our original stationary rower, moving into circuits, cardio floors, specialized rowing classes and elite athletic training facilities. It was up to our design team to create a rower that served all these different activities without compromise.

GO Series

When we set out to develop strength and circuit training equipment specifically for beginners, our objective was not simply to improve existing equipment. We wanted to design an entirely new series that was extremely simple and easy-to-use. But how could we create equipment with the bare minimum of adjustments and still accommodate users of different sizes?

Ultra Series

When we created Ultra Series, we challenged every assumption about what strength training equipment should look like, how it should work and what improvements were possible. The result was a collection that improves sightlines and the overall aesthetic of the weight room while redefining the strength training experience in exciting new ways.

Glute Trainer

Glute training has been around for a long time, and it’s only getting more popular as athletes strive to maximize their potential and club members work to transform their bodies. But glute training has never been as comfortable, accessible and effective as it is now thanks to our new design. Find out how we developed a smarter, more stable take on glute training.

Innovations in Group Training

There’s nothing like the competition and camaraderie of group training, and there’s nothing like our innovative group training solutions. Count on our advances to bring everyone together in exciting new ways and keep them coming back for more.

Connexus Functional Training System

Functional training has never been more popular, and nothing builds loyalty that last like group training. Connexus brings the two together in a flexible, accessible system that makes it easy to create the functional training system that works best for your facility. Find out how we fused the best of both worlds here.

Group Training Cycles

We asked questions. We studied every aspect of the cycling experience. We experimented with a variety of designs. Despite the success we’d had co-developing indoor cycles in the past, we knew in our hearts that we could do better. In the end, we developed a line of training cycles that appeal to a wide range of users and breathe new life into cycling classes everywhere.

Premium LED Console

When an update to our collection of cardio equipment gave us a chance to explore all an LED console could — and should — be, we grabbed ahold of the possibility. But how could we create a more engaging display with little more than bright dots and a few buttons?

Engage 360

To make personal training more personal, we wanted a system that let trainers and members do it their way, with their favorite apps, devices and wearables at the center of it all. Today, Engage 360 let trainers interact with members 24/7 by assigning workouts, charting progress, checking nutrition, observing activities and more, redefining what personal training means and can do.
