Whats New At Matrix

More Strength Is Coming.

Matrix is expanding its plate-loaded lineup with three new pieces built for the kind of training Gold’s Gym is known for.

The new Seated Lateral Raise, Decline Pec Fly and Standing Hip Abductor bring more targeted training options to the floor, with designs built for serious strength, performance and progression.

More ways to train. More ways to put in the work.

Ready to ship Q4 2026.

Decline Pec Fly

Build pec muscles and pressing power with our plate-loaded Decline Pec Fly. Multi-grip handles and a large weight load capacity mean new and experienced lifters alike can find their best fit to maximize their workouts.

Standing Hip Abductor

Train legs and glutes with greater precision using our plate-loaded Standing Hip Abductor. High-quality pads and large footplates provide enhanced stability and comfort, enabling lifters to optimize their training performance.

Seated Lateral Raise

Achieve precise shoulder engagement with our plate-loaded Seated Lateral Raise, expertly engineered to maximize muscle activation and elevate upper-body strength training.

Product Spotlight: VRS Platform

Create a premium strength training environment with Matrix VRS impact-absorption platforms. Our exclusive Vibration Reduction System helps reduce sound, bounce, and floor-transferred vibrations caused by dropped barbells, protecting your facility and equipment from the demands of heavy training.

The low-profile design provides easy accessibility, while multiple styles and sizes make it simple to upgrade an existing Matrix platform or build a new training space.

Make it yours. Add a custom laser-etched logo directly to the wood platform for a distinctive, professional look that brings your facility’s brand into the training experience.
