Matrix A5X Ascent Trainer with Touch Console
The Matrix A5X Performance Ascent Trainer with Touch Console is a premium, full-body cardio machine engineered for commercial fitness facilities that demand durability, versatility, and a superior member experience. Its patented suspension design eliminates wheels and tracks, delivering a smooth, quiet ride that stays consistent even as incline is increased. Variable stride length and adjustable incline give users an expanded range of motion to target and tone different muscle groups, making every workout more dynamic and effective.
The 16″ capacitive touchscreen Touch Console runs an app-based interface that mirrors familiar smartphone and tablet operating systems, so members can connect to their favorite content with minimal learning curve. Built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, ANT+, wireless charging, and Apple Watch compatibility ensure seamless connectivity, while Virtual Active and Sprint 8 programming keep workouts engaging and results-driven. From the low 9.5″ step-on height to the ergonomic Ergo Form grips, every detail is designed to make this trainer accessible, comfortable, and built for years of heavy commercial use.

FAQ
Yes. The Matrix A5X with Touch Console must be connected to a power source at all times. The Touch Console’s 16″ touchscreen, WiFi, wireless charging, and connected features all require AC power. If you need a self-powered option that can be placed anywhere in your facility without a nearby outlet, Matrix offers the A5X with alternative console configurations – contact us and we can help you find the right fit.
Sprint 8 is a Matrix-exclusive high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program built into the console. It consists of 20-minute workouts designed to stimulate natural human growth hormone production, helping users burn more fat and build lean muscle in significantly less time than traditional steady-state cardio. The program guides users through intervals of intense sprinting followed by recovery periods, making it an efficient and results-driven option for members of all fitness levels.
Virtual Active is an immersive workout program that plays high-definition footage of real-world destinations – over 60 exotic locations around the globe – directly on the console screen. The resistance or incline of the trainer automatically adjusts to match the terrain in the video, so if you’re “climbing” a hillside in Tuscany, the machine increases incline to match. It’s a powerful tool for keeping members engaged and motivated during longer cardio sessions.
The Matrix A5X Ascent Trainer is a large commercial fitness machine and typically ships via freight on a pallet. Professional delivery and setup may be available – please email us at [email protected] before ordering to confirm delivery logistics for your facility. Some on-site assembly or final positioning may be required upon delivery.
The A5X frame supports self-powered operation (minimum 35 W / 30 RPM), which can reduce energy costs and allows more flexible placement throughout your facility. However, note that the Touch Console specifically requires a power connection. If self-powered, cord-free operation is essential for your setup, Matrix offers the A5X with console options that support that configuration.
The Touch Console is fully loaded for modern fitness facilities. It includes built-in WiFi for automatic software updates and equipment monitoring, Bluetooth for smartphones, headphones, and heart rate monitors, ANT+ heart rate compatibility, RFID touch-free wireless login, Qi wireless charging, USB port, and connectivity to both Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch. It is also CSafe ready and supports iFit on-demand workouts as an optional add-on.
