Matrix treadmills

Why choose a Matrix treadmill?

Matrix is a premium fitness brand and part of Johnson Health Tech, and is a fixed name in fitness centres and sports facilities worldwide. That background in commercial use means above all reliability for you: the motors, frames and running surfaces are built to withstand intensive and prolonged use. As a home exerciser you therefore benefit from a treadmill that feels virtually indestructible. Take a look at the other fitness equipment from Matrix as well.

Characteristic of Matrix is the choice of various consoles, recognisable by the designations XR, XER, XIR and XUR. The XR is clear and focused on your training data, while the extensive XUR has a large touchscreen on which you use entertainment and apps. Do bear in mind that for streaming services such as films or music you need your own subscription to those services; those entertainment and app options are an optional extra and differ per console. You can of course also use the treadmill itself perfectly well without them.

With these treadmills, Matrix focuses on the demanding home exerciser and on semi-professional use. For solid, regular workouts at home it is an excellent choice. If you are rather looking for a lighter and cheaper model for occasional walking, an entry model from the broader range of folding treadmills may be more logical.

Which Matrix treadmill suits you?

The range consists of a folding premium model with console choice and a few commercial models, new or refurbished. The situations below help you quickly find the right direction.

You want club quality for home with a folding frame: the TF50 is the obvious choice for this. This folding treadmill has a 3.25 HP motor, a spacious running surface and the familiar Matrix solidity, while you easily fold it up after your workout.

You want the most complete training experience with a large screen: then choose the TF50 with the XUR console. On the large touchscreen you follow training programmes and use entertainment, for those who want to get the maximum out of their console.

You mainly want to train in a targeted way with clear data: then the TF50 with the XR console is perfectly sufficient. You keep track of your speed, distance and heart rate clearly, without a large screen you are not waiting for.

You want real, continuous commercial performance: the t-es Endurance is a commercial model with a powerful 5.0 HP motor and speeds up to 24 km/h, built for heavy and intensive use.

You want commercial class for the sharpest price: regularly we have an expertly refurbished treadmill such as the T5X or T7Xe in stock. These ex-commercial models are checked, tested and provided with warranty by our own technicians. For this, also take a look at the second-hand treadmills.

The Matrix treadmills explained

TF50 (folding, with console choice)

The premium home model: a folding, club-quality treadmill with a 3.25 HP motor and a spacious running surface. You choose your own console, from the clear XR to the fully equipped XUR with large touchscreen, with the XER and XIR as options in between.

t-es Endurance

A commercial model with a powerful 5.0 HP motor, an LED console with wifi and speeds up to 24 km/h. Built for intensive and continuous use, also at home.

What to look for when buying a Matrix treadmill?

Console: from data to touchscreen

The big choice with Matrix is the console. If you mainly want to see your training data, the XR is enough. If you want a large touchscreen with programmes and entertainment, choose the XUR. Consider beforehand which experience you are really going to use, so that you do not pay for features you leave unused.

Motor power and use

The TF50 has a 3.25 HP motor for solid home use, while the commercial models such as the t-es Endurance, T5X and T7Xe have a 5.0 HP motor for continuous and intensive use. Choose heavier the more often and harder you run.

Running surface and cushioning

The cushioned running surface of Matrix absorbs the impact of every step and is therefore more pleasant for your knees, ankles and back, also during longer sessions. A spacious running surface gives more comfort at higher speeds. If you want to protect your floor and treadmill, also take a look at the treadmill accessories for a suitable protective mat.

Speed and incline

The TF50 runs up to 20 km/h, the commercial models up to 24 km/h. Various treadmills have an adjustable incline, with which you make your workout harder and engage extra muscle groups. Choose based on how solidly you want to train.

New or refurbished

With Matrix you choose between new and expertly refurbished. A refurbished treadmill is fully checked and tested by our own technicians, whereby motor, drive and rollers are checked and replaced where necessary, and is supplied with warranty. This way you bring commercial class home for a sharp price.

Our advice: look not only at what you want now, but also at how you use the treadmill in six months. If you want a folding, high-quality home treadmill, the TF50 is an excellent choice; in doing so, determine which console really suits you. If you are looking for maximum, continuous performance or a commercial model for a sharp price, look at the t-es Endurance or a refurbished T5X or T7Xe. Always weigh comfort, cushioning and a good console experience heavily in your consideration.

Who is a Matrix treadmill suitable for?

A Matrix treadmill suits athletes who set high demands on quality and durability:

• Dedicated and regular runners who want to train at gym level at home.
• Fans of an extensive console who want programmes and entertainment on a large touchscreen.
• Athletes who get the maximum out of their training and value a cushioned, spacious running surface.
• Those looking for commercial class for a sharp price via an expertly refurbished model.
• People who are rehabilitating or building up in a controlled way and want a stable, reliable treadmill. Do always first discuss this with your physiotherapist or practitioner.

If you are looking for a light, cheap treadmill for occasional walking, a simpler entry model is more logical. For the demanding home exerciser, Matrix offers exactly a strong combination of commercial quality, cushioning and freedom of choice in consoles.

Frequently asked questions about Matrix treadmills

What do the consoles XR, XER, XIR and XUR mean?

Those are the various console versions of Matrix. The XR is clear and focused on your training data, while the XUR is the most extensive with a large touchscreen for programmes and entertainment. The XER and XIR are in between. This way you choose the console that suits your wishes.

What is the difference between the TF50 and the commercial models?

The TF50 is the folding home treadmill with a 3.25 HP motor and console choice. The commercial models, such as the t-es Endurance and the refurbished T5X and T7Xe, have a heavier 5.0 HP motor and are built for continuous, intensive use with speeds up to 24 km/h.

Are Matrix treadmills new or second-hand?

Both. Most of our Matrix range is new, but regularly we also have expertly refurbished, ex-commercial models such as the T5X or T7Xe. These are checked, tested and supplied with warranty by our own technicians. For this, also take a look at our second-hand treadmills.

Do I need a subscription for a Matrix treadmill?

Not to train; the training programmes are in the treadmill itself. If you want to use entertainment on an extensive console, such as films or music, you do need your own subscription to those streaming services. Those entertainment and app options are therefore optional and differ per console.

Are Matrix treadmills foldable?

The TF50 is foldable and therefore easier to store, ideal for home. The commercial models have a fixed frame built for maximum stability during intensive use. Measure your space well beforehand or ask our specialists which model suits your situation.

Can I try out a Matrix treadmill first?

Yes, in our fitness store in Volkel you can compare and test various treadmills before you choose. Running a stretch on the running surface often says more than a spec list. Feel free to drop by or call us beforehand to ask which models are ready.
