The Matrix Performance Ascent Trainer with the Touch Console is a premium, high-intensity alternative to a standard elliptical. What sets the “Ascent” apart is its adjustable incline and variable stride length, which allows users to switch from a flat elliptical motion to a steep stepping motion. This versatility targets the glutes, hamstrings, and core more aggressively than a traditional cross-trainer.
The Touch Console provides a high-end digital experience with a 16-inch high-definition touchscreen. It features the exclusive Sprint 8 program (a high-intensity interval training protocol) and Virtual Active technology, which transports users to scenic locations around the world with footage that adjusts to the user’s pace and resistance.
