Believe in Better Health
Matrix Solutions for Active Living Cardiovascular and strength training have always been integral components of a healthy life. In fact, research shows that regular exercise affects five of the commonly recognized seven dimensions of wellness.* Matrix products stand out by accommodating functional movement. We target protocols that specifically address four of the dimensions of functional movement — Cardiovascular, Strength, Cognitive, Balance — more than any supplier of fitness products.
Physical Wellness
Social Wellness
Regular exercise is critical to maintaining a quality of life that allows us to get through daily activities without undue stress and fatigue. But physical wellness is about far more than how our clothes fit — it’s about the independence to keep doing the things we love. Matrix encourages holistic physical wellness with products like our low-impact Rower that provides an intense cardio workout while strengthening the entire body.
Our ability to establish and maintain positive relationships with family, friends and co-workers is essential to a healthy life. Exercise can enhance our ability to stay connected in many ways. You can meet new people in virtually any kind of exercise environment. You can also stay connected by taking part in organized physical activities, whether it’s an intense team sport or a relaxed charity walk. Group training solutions from Matrix, like our Connexus Functional Training System where multiple users perform the same exercise in unison, help users feel like part of a team during workouts, building camaraderie, adding accountability and encouraging friendly competition.
Intellectual Wellness Intellectual wellness is measured by our ability to mentally engage with the world in an enthusiastic, active way, and exercise is a great place to begin. By learning new physical fitness regimens like the exclusive programs available on Matrix cardio products, improving functional skills while interacting with our intuitive user interfaces and attempting the endless variety of movements possible with our Aura Functional Trainer, Matrix products bolster this aspect of wellness.
Emotional Wellness The ability to express emotions appropriately and adjust to change is crucial to overall wellbeing. Exercise helps us even our emotions and relieve stress. Easy-to-access Matrix Treadmills and Bikes can be especially helpful in this regard, as near-threshold cardio can trigger an endorphin release accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life. For an added boost of positivity, include the immersive journey of our Virtual Active program.
Occupational Wellness The ability to get personal fulfillment from our jobs while still maintaining balance in our lives plays an important part in overall wellness. Regular exercise keeps us healthy to take on our purpose with passion, making a positive impact at our workplaces and in our communities. Matrix functional training solutions and our ClimbMills are ideal for occupational wellness, as the exercises share a practical relationship to the activities users take on in their daily lives. * Information on the Seven Dimensions of Wellness from North Dakota State University Wellness Center.

Regardless of your facility’s focus, Matrix offers products and solutions suited to your clientele. We see the value in the services you provide and continue to invest in new products targeted to your channel.
Pre-habilitation Maintaining proper movement and preventing injury Stamina, strength and balance help prevent or minimize the risk of injury during exercise and during routine daily activities such as walking a dog, climbing stairs or navigating uneven terrain. Matrix products help individuals develop holistic fitness that keeps them healthy and active no matter how they move throughout the day. Our robust product portfolio offers complete options for training and fitness development, and our equipment is carefully designed to promote proper form, posture and paths of motion to minimize stress and strain during use.
Rehabilitation Restoring movement and reducing/eliminating pain Injury, illness, pain and disability do not have to be the end of movement. Our portfolio contains options suitable for individuals at the early and late ends of the care spectrum. We offer wheelchair-accessible strength and cardio equipment, and we incorporate low starting speeds and weight increments to enable therapists to introduce cardio and weight-bearing exercise earlier in treatment.
Lifelong Vitality Maintaining wellness and independence at every age Matrix equipment is designed to be approachable and welcoming for users of all ages and abilities. Bright, oversized displays offer intuitive operation. Low step-on heights, step-through frames and extended handrails are just a few of the features that make our equipment easy to access and use. Rep counters simplify exercise, and quick, easy adjustments make it a breeze to adapt the equipment and the exercise to the user’s unique needs.

Matrix helps you create your ideal fitness facility with custom options, complete solutions and a consultative approach. We offer world-class equipment that works seamlessly with your facility’s programming and offer features that matter to you and your clients.

There are many ways to move
Movement is natural
With the industry’s largest product portfolio, Matrix provides commercial exercise equipment that works in a variety of settings and helps individuals with varying degrees of fitness and mobility build strength, endurance and flexibility.
Movement is an inherent part of life. At Matrix, we make equipment that is easy and comfortable to use so that exercise becomes second nature. Plus, even those familiar with treadmills or weights may not be aware of the full range of options the products offer. We want you and your clients or patients to be able to access the complete range of beneficial features we incorporate into our equipment.
Features like extended handrails that provide invaluable security at the start of therapy are designed to be unobtrusive when individuals progress through their treatment protocols and no longer need the support. Matrix products deliver solutions for every stage along the continuum of care.
Accessible Everyone can move Exercise therapy is vital to long, healthy lives — even (or perhaps especially) when movement is compromised due to illness, injury or disability. Matrix incorporates key details that make it possible for individuals with reduced mobility or function to begin or maintain prescribed exercise protocols. Low step-on heights, step-through frames, oversized touchscreen displays and extended handrails are some of the features that enhance accessibility on Matrix products.
Our intuitive operations make Matrix equipment an option for individuals who have little experience with exercise equipment and for professionals who use a variety of products for treatment protocols. By focusing on ease of use, we expand options for individuals accustom to being active while we eliminate intimidation for those new to cardio and strength training.

With our goal of accommodating functional movement, Matrix offers a wide array of accessible and durable equipment with options for users of all ages and abilities. Together, we can develop a packaged solution that fits your budget and maximizes your space and resources.
Unique
Motivating
Our portfolio includes unique products and features that are not available elsewhere. For example, the Krankcycle provides an accessible, upper-body cardio workout. Also, our Upright Cycles have the lowest starting resistance of any commercial fitness brand. This makes it possible to incorporate cycling earlier in a treatment plan.
Progress is the best motivation. When individuals see improvement, they are more likely to stay on course with prescribed exercises and therapy. At Matrix, we incorporate incremental measurements into feedback to make it easier to monitor and assess progress.
Innovative Our goal isn’t to create better equipment; it is to create better experiences for individuals and clinicians. Our innovation process always begins and ends with our customers. For example, in developing our T3xh Treadmill, we assembled a panel of physical therapists to test and evaluate early models. Their input is directly reflected in the display, handrail positioning and other features that enhance security.
Natural If individuals are going to move more and move well, they need to move naturally. With our biomechanically correct designs and ergonomically sound operations, users naturally maintain proper posture, alignment and paths of motion while exercising. This minimizes the risk of strain or injury that can derail fitness plans or undermine recovery.
