MX4 Active Overview & Introduction to MX4 Active

Learn about Matrix’s functional training program for deconditioned adults and active aging groups.

What is the benefit of functional training?

MX4 Active revolves around Cardio, Power, Strength and Endurance and is sequeneced to trigger peripheral heart action, a circuit-style method of training alternating upper and lower body resistance exercises with minimal rest to boost cardiovascular fitness and strength. Exercisers benefit from engaging their whole body and gaining strength for daily tasks like carrying groceries, improving mobility and flexibility, and helping slow the impact of aging.

How is MX4 Active Structured?

An essential part of the class's structure involves duplication. In MX4 Active participants work in groups of four. Groups will be centered around the Connexus—Matrix’s functional training equipment series—units in your facility. Their superior ability to provide repeatable movements is essential for trainers and exercisers in MX4 Active. The program can also be used with other functional training equipment.
