Connexus Series: Flexible Functional Training Solutions
At Matrix, we believe that if you’re not making meaningful innovations, you’re falling behind. So as the fitness world and the needs of our partners changed, we had to make sure our Connexus functional training equipment evolved as well.
How could we create a functional training solution flexible enough for the demands of small group training, yet intuitive enough for self-guided workouts in uncoached environments?
A Functional Need
Like all our best innovations, the reimagining of our Connexus Series started with listening to feedback from our partners in the fitness industry.
Unused Training Spaces
In unstaffed facilities, our partners noticed that functional training spaces were often underused despite the fact that interest in functional training was growing industrywide.
Serving Younger Members
Functional training was becoming especially popular with younger members, who would often show up with a guided workout on their smartphone. However, there was no convenient place to put their device, so they struggled to follow along.
Defining the Challenge
Our team began by investigating existing solutions for self-guided functional workouts in both health club environments and vertical markets like hotels and multi-family housing.
A Poor Fit for Fitness Facilities
Existing training stations weren’t designed to fit the space or serve the goals of functional training zones. Worse yet, they were big and bulky, taking up far too much valuable floor space for how little they were used.
Far from User-friendly
Because the design of many functional training stations on the market weren’t user-friendly or intuitive, beginners often didn’t know where to get started.
The Cause of Clutter
Since most of the existing solutions didn’t offer a clearly defined space to store essential accessories, functional training areas often became cluttered.
Refined Solutions
Our design innovations serve the diverse needs of both small groups and self-guided workouts in a thoughtful and approachable way.
Flexible & Versatile
Our new functional solutions are specifically designed to maximize training versatility. You can even configure select units to fit your space, expanding them into bays along a wall or arranging them back-to-back to put functional fitness at the center of your training zone.
Clearly Defined Stations
Virtually anyone can attach and start using functional training accessories thanks to clearly defined stations and attachment points.
Centralized Accessory Storage
Centralized storage gives users instant access to a variety of training accessories and makes transitions between exercises quick and easy.
Integrated Device Holder
Now users can easily follow on-demand workouts or bring along the entertainment that keeps them going strong.
