This new series is set to redefine cycling classes in a way that appeals to both serious cycling enthusiasts and members looking for an exciting group exercise experience with metrics that matter! Check out this CXP promo video using render animation on Youtube.
Our lead Master Trainer – Matt Gleed, had this to say:
 ‘It was very exciting to be part of the launch of the new cycles and we thoroughly enjoyed hosting the live demo’s of Matrix’s Group training offering – MX4. A large variety of clubs and facilities showed a great interest.’
S-Force Performance Trainer
S-Force combines a specifically designed motion, two active positions and magnetic resistance to build fast-twitch muscle fibre essential to speed and power. Resistance increases the harder the athlete works, so even elite athletes can develop more explosive starts in less training time. Don’t believe us? check this out: S-Force American Football Promo .
