2 AN EXERCISE IN PASSION + STRONG. SMART. BEAUTIFUL. Matrix is among the world s premier and fastestgrowing commercial fitness brands. While our rise has been quick, it has not been accidental. Our culture piques innovative thinking, applauds fresh ideas and values creative problem solving. As a result, in a little over a decade, we ve not only set the design standard for which others now strive, but we ve breathed new life into an industry where customers were offered the same tired products, year after year, by meeting customer needs like no one else can. Leading clubs and fitness facilities around the world are choosing to partner with us because Matrix delivers. We show our strength through top-notch quality: our belts last longer, our motors run smoother, and we deliver 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 product touch point. Beautiful? That s a story in itself. It began when we pioneered the use of oversized, tubular construction in strength equipment. From there, 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 the Ultra series of strength products. We ve motivated and inspired Group Training with the Krankcycle and Matrix powered by ICG lineup. Now, Matrix continues to deliver on innovation with our mpower Integrated Technology Solutions. And it keeps getting better. // 2
