Like Technogym… just worse in every possible way. The lack of adjustable elements makes every exercise range from slightly uncomfortable to dangerous. A huge shame Puregym is full of it.

Matrix fitness is the worst thing to ever happen to UK gyms. The annoying thing is most of their machines could be so much better with some very small fixes that wouldnt increase the manufacturing cost. The machines are poorly designed usually for a few reasons: - Restrict the range of motion for no reason (leg press pins stop the sled too early, the chest press you cant get a deep stretch, etc) - Bad mechanics and weird angles - Some of the machines eg. chest press are super unstable and clunky (for no reason) - Overly thick handles which make grip unpleasant - Strange angles, eg. on the hack squat the foot plate is too steep, it should be at less of an angle to the floor, at present this stresses the knees unnecessarily for people with long limbs - Bad force curves. Eg. their plate loaded incline press, flat press etc have the exercise be super easy at the bottom and very hard at the top, which is suboptimal. All of these changes could be so easily addressed without making it any more expensive for matrix to produce the machines, if only they were able to copy the designes better of the leading players like Atlantis, Nautilus, Panatta and prime

My gym bought new back equipment all from Matrix, everything is clunky, bad ergonomics, terrible foot placements, and the lat pulldown/cable row have no range of motion. Terrible, terrible, terrible. The cables now have weird weight too, a full stack being 34kg?? Rubbish

I purchased 3 Matrix T75 treadmills for my company gym, as I read good reviews online. After 2 years all 3 have failed for different reasons. All with between 4-8k km on them. Our NordicTrack treadmill is still going after 5 years. Skip this company and look for something of higher quality. Life Fitness and Nordic Track are both better in my experience.

Horrible equipment. Can’t believe PureGym destroyed my fitness center after training there for nearly 15 years, by replacing all the best Technogym machines with these low quality, badly designed weight machines. The ergonomics are off, the confusion of the foot placement, which makes no sense of where to place your feet (foot handles.. what?) even the leg locks on the back workout machines seem to point diagonally upward so you feel like you are slipping out of hold. They can’t even regulate the weight indications on the machines, so it feels like you are actually push/pulling the weight that you have chosen. That is just a portion of the state of these machines. Absolute thrash. You have to see it to believe it.

Mein Gym hat vor kurzem renoviert und die alten Geräte mit Neuen von Matrix ausgetauscht und ich hasse alle. Wer hat sich das ausgedacht das die Zwischenstufen bei den Gewichten nicht mittig sind? Warum kann ich keine einziges Gerät sinnvoll für meine Körpermaße anpassen? Die Griffe sind ultra billiges Hartplastik, welche man z.b. an der Shoulder Press extrem schlecht umgreifen kann und auch nicht an die Schulterbreite anpassbar sind. Ich bin kein Profisportler und habe trotzdem beim ersten benutzen der Bauchmaschine das Maximalgewicht problemlos geschafft und dabei noch nichtmal den Bauch gespürt und nur den unteren Rücken. Die Polster sind extrem hart und gleichzeitig reibt das Gummi extrem an der Haut. Hab mir beim Benutzen des Beinbeugers die komplette Kniekehle aufgeschürft. Nach einer Woche war der sogar kaputt wegen der billigen Verarbeitung. Eins der Matrixlaufbänder hört sich jedes mal an wie ein Düsenflieger wenn es etwas schneller eingestellt wird und die Vibrationen davon merkt man im ganzen Gym. Ich bin 184 cm groß und muss für butterfly reverse mir trotzdem ein zusätzliches Polster unter den Po packen damit die Griffe auf einer vernünftigen Höhe sind. Ganz im Ernst, war jemals jemand der wirklich ins Fitnessstudio geht am Design dieser Geräte beteiligt??? Einfach ausnahmslos Schrott

I agree 100% with the series of critical comments on Trustpilot. Matrix is the worst thing I've ever experienced in training. It is incomprehensible that a large chain like PureGym has invested in miserable and extremely poorly designed machines, where you cannot adjust to the body, are often static and directly painful to train in. I am leaving PureGym for this reason and hope that others do the same, so that the excellent training place I have trained in for many years will open my eyes and push to the British headquarters, who have made the hopeless decision to change TechnoGym with Matrix. I simply don't have anything good to say about Matrix
