In the world of training athletes, the equipment you use makes all the difference. For high school strength coaches, providing your athletes with access to the best tools possible is essential. It’s not just about building strength; it’s about safety, versatility, and maximizing the potential of every workout. That’s why Matrix Fitness is revealing their new Magnum MX Racks, a game-changer in the realm of gym equipment. Here’s why MX Racks should be on the wishlist of every high school strength coach.
Specs To Rival Industry’s Best
Matrix has always been a beacon of quality with their MEGA line of racks. However, MX Racks go one step further. Boasting four-inch by four-inch uprights made of robust seven-gauge steel, they are built to withstand the test of time and the rigors of intense training sessions. For coaches, this provides peace of mind knowing that the equipment not only lasts but also adheres to the highest EN and ASTM safety standards.
One of the standout features of the MX Racks is their adaptability. With the inclusion of more connection points on the uprights and both the upper- and lower-base frames, the customization possibilities are virtually endless. In fact, MX Racks offer more than 70 different customizable options. This flexibility allows coaches to tailor workouts precisely to their athletes’ needs, ensuring that each training session is as effective as possible.
Cory Miller, Assistant Global Product Manager for Matrix Fitness, understands the importance of providing coaches with equipment that will stand the test of time. Thanks to the new four-sided hole design, swapping out different attachments has been completely streamlined. He describes the response customers have had to the MX Racks.
“We got great feedback on the amount of options that are going to be available,” says Miller. “Since we went to our new four-sided hole design, the ease with which someone can add and remove the different options is much greater.”
This makes changing options during a workout more simple and efficient than ever before. For high school athletes who may be new to strength training, this user-friendly approach is an invaluable time-saver.
Every strength coach knows the wear and tear gym equipment can go through. With their MX Racks, Matrix has also introduced a chromed, bullnose peg insert for attaching options to the uprights. This not only makes adjustments smoother but also protects the paint, ensuring that the racks remain in pristine condition for longer. For high schools operating on tight schedules and budgets, this quality-of-life improvement is crucial.
Innovative Additions for Enhanced Workouts
MX Racks aren’t just about robustness and versatility; they’re also about innovation. One of their standout features is the patent-pending Magnum Double J-hooks. This design allows athletes of varying heights to use the racks with minimal adjustments. For a high school gym, where students of all sizes are training, this feature is fundamentally sound. It allows students to spend less time adjusting equipment and more time training.
Additionally, MX Racks introduce a new range of custom options. From different ladders and connecting bars to a broader array of pull-up options, the possibilities are extensive. These additions mean that coaches can utilize a wider variety of exercises within their programming, so students remain engaged and challenged.
“We were able to take what we’ve always been good at, improve on that, and then add to our portfolio with some really custom and intriguing options.” Miller says.
Matrix’s commitment to quality and innovation is backed by more than 20 years of experience serving athletic markets. Their deep understanding of the needs of high schools, colleges, and professional teams across North America shines through in the MX Racks. They’re not just racks; they’re a testament to Matrix’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in training athletes.
For high school strength coaches, MX Racks are more than just pieces of equipment; they’re nothing short of revolutionary. Their combination of durability, versatility, user-friendliness, and innovative features should drive immediate consideration. As the world of athlete training evolves, having tools innovate in parallel becomes even more crucial. With the MX Racks, coaches can be confident that they’re giving their athletes everything and more that they need to succeed and their school districts reliable, responsible options for their weight rooms.
