Matrix Treadmill Reviews - A Look at the Models

Matrix has a small, focused lineup of treadmills, with two folding models (TF30, TF50) and three non-folding ones (T30, T50,T75). As such it's much easier to make a decision as far as which one to choose for your home.

T30

The entry level T30 is the most affordable as well as one of the most popular models, with plenty of features and capabilities to satisfy even the most demanding customer.

You have a 20" x 55" belt, a powerful 3.0 CHP motor, up to 12% incline capability, up to 12.5 mph speed, Ultimate Deck impact reducing cushioning, the patented ViaFit workout tracking and a 350 lb. max weight capacity.

TF30

The Matrix TF30 is a folding version of the T30, with a stronger 3.25 CHP motor and more incline capability up to 15%. Otherwise the two treadmills are nearly identical.

TF50

The more advanced TF50 gives you everything the TF30 has plus a larger 20" x 60" deck and a higher maximum user weight capacity of 400 lbs.

T50

The Matrix T50 and the TF50 are essentially the same machine, except the T50 does not have folding capability. The T50 is a bit more compact and about 30 pounds lighter, but all of the features are identical.

T75

The Matrix T75 is the top of the line treadmill in the series, with the largest running surface: 22" x 60" and the most advanced AC motor. Otherwise it is very similar to the T50.

All of the Matrix treadmills feature rock solid construction, advanced cushioning, the powerful Johnson Drive System and iFit workout capability.

You have a choice of three consoles on all models: the basic 8.5" XR display, the 10" touch screen XER and the top-end 16" HD touch screen XIR display. The higher end treadmills have an additional XUR display option, a larger 22" touch screen.

The more advanced displays have built in videos, Bluetooth capability, smartphone and app integration and speaker systems.

Why Matrix Treadmills are a Great Choice

Matrix entered the residential market with a bang, offering a solid lineup of treadmills competing directly with industry leaders Life Fitness and Precor.

Unlike their competitors who tend to rest on their laurels, Matrix treadmills are innovative, modern and sleek, combining high quality with the latest technology to give you the best workout experience.

They are the first company to offer console choices on all models, not just the higher end ones. They also give you the unique Sprint 8 workout and tracking capability not found on many of the treadmills from Life Fitness and Precor.

So far the Matrix treadmills have been very well received, and they are slowly chipping away at the residential market. It's very possible that they will one day become as popular if not more so than the competition.

Matrix Treadmill Buying Tips

If you're considering Matrix treadmills, look for their special sales that take place throughout the year, especially on holidays. That way you can save some money and get free shipping as well.

Also, you can oftentimes get better deals buying directly from Matrix rather than through a third party, so start at the company website and see what they have to offer before you go to a local exercise equipment seller.

As far as which one to buy, first figure out if you prefer a folding or a non-folding machine. Obviously if you need to store it post workout a folding treadmill is a better option.

If you are on the larger size opt for the larger deck size and higher max weight capacities of the TF50, T50 and T75.

When it comes to the consoles, you can get a lot more functionality from the XUR, XER and XIR touch screens, but if you want to save money and you're OK with just a basic console the base XR is perfectly fine.

Here's a little overview to help you find the best one for your home gym...

Frequently asked questions

Are Matrix treadmills worth the price?

If a Matrix treadmill is within your budget, it's absolutely worth the price. If you compare Matrix to Life Fitness, Precor and other high end brands, the combination of build, design and capability are unmatched. It's the perfect combination of gym and home treadmill, giving you the best features of both.

Do Matrix treadmills fold?

Some do. The TF30 and TF50 use a near-vertical (about 90°) folding design that cuts the footprint for storage; the T30, T50 and T75 are non-folding models.

Who makes Matrix treadmills?

Matrix is the premium brand of Johnson Health Tech, one of the world's largest fitness-equipment makers. They also make Horizon treadmills and recently bought BowFlex and Schwinn.

Do I need an iFIT subscription?

No. The treadmills run fully without it, and Sprint 8 interval training is built in. A paid iFIT membership only adds the trainer-led interactive classes.
