Athletic & Fitness

Leading fitness facilities around the world choose to partner with us because Matrix delivers. We show our strength in our top-notch quality: our belts last longer, our motors run more smoothly, and we deliver a total cost of ownership that’s among the lowest in the industry. Smart is about interfaces that are optimized for fitness environments, low weight stacks that don’t block sight lines, and incredible attention to detail on every touch point. Beautiful? That’s a story in itself.
We redefined industry standards not only in industrial design, but also through a series of industry firsts. We introduced new fitness modalities with the Hybrid Cycle and Ascent Trainer® products; raised the bar for user experience with our ClimbMill models; and took care of the details with our user-friendly bikes. We’ve motivated and inspired group training with our Connexus Functional Training System and the Krankcycle®. We pioneered the use of oversized, tubular construction in strength equipment, and we lead the industry with our comprehensive Magnum and Varsity strength series. This partnership is vetted through the Foundation for California Community Colleges.
