ASCENT TRAINER®

BELIEVE IN BETTER

THE NEW MATRIX ASCENT TRAINER® –

A machine that, quite simply, outperforms the rest.

2

At Matrix, we believe in better. We believe in creating solutions to real world problems, your problems. We believe in approachable design and innovation. And it’s this drive to innovate that inspires us to creatively solve the problems that others may ignore.

Our goal was not to create another elliptical – it was to create the best fitness experience possible. We listened – to you and your service techs. We watched your customers work out. And, with painstaking attention to detail, we delivered a machine that, quite simply, outperforms the rest.

The Matrix Ascent Trainer® is the first piece of equipment to recreate

the experience of running uphill or climbing stadium steps.

Because increasing the incline also lengthens the stride length, the

Ascent provides a superior range of motion. The result is a workout

that’s both stimulating and effective.

INNOVATION IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

IdEaL pEdaL pLacEmENtPedals should be placed with minimal distance between them to eliminate stress on hips and back.

Body poSturEAn upright user position provides maximum comfort and faster results.

EaSy accESSPedals positioned lower to the ground allow users to easily step on and off the product.

optImaL haNdLEBar SpacINgGrips should be within ideal reach and distance for both small and large framed users.

NaturaL motIoNA stride that mimics a natural running or walking motion minimizes fatigue and stress on joints.

SmoothEr FEELA suspension design provides the smoothest, most efficient motion possible.

FUNDAMENTALS OF FEELThe ellipticals that feel the best and deliver the fastest results are the ones your members will line up to use.

At Matrix, we conducted extensive research to identify what factors play the biggest role in delivering the best, most natural elliptical feel.

EFFEctIVEThe increased stride fully engages glutes, hamstrings and core stabilizer muscles for rapid results.

FLuIdOur exclusive Constant Rate of Acceleration delivers a perpetually smooth, fluid motion that is easy on joints.

prEcISEThe pedals allow natural ankle flexion, even at a full incline, to reduce the foot tingling sensation produced by other machines.

dyNamIcThe tapered, dual-action handlebars provide a total-body workout that strengthens core muscles.

FItNESS, mEEt

FREEDOM

NaturaLThe Ascent simulates the true contralateral movement that users experience while walking and running for the most natural feel available.

INtuItIVEAll Matrix consoles are easily navigated by users of all experience levels.

SmoothOur patented suspension design eliminates wheels and tracks, effectively reducing wear and maintenance of more heavy parts.

There are far too many cardio machines

out there demanding that users adapt

to their specific movements. The

Ascent Trainer® is different. And better.

There is no wrong way to use it. The

Ascent provides a comfortable and

effective workout no matter what position

you’re in. But don’t let the simplicity fool

you. This machine is not an easy way out.
