Matrix Fitness has completed a new equipment installation at the prestigious Hurlingham Club. As part of this venture, the company upgraded the destination’s cardio suite with the premium ONYX smart line. This move effectively modernizes the training environment while ensuring seamless integration with the Hurlingham Club's existing EGYM digital ecosystem.
This project was driven by the Hurlingham Club’s need to replace aging equipment that required frequent maintenance and to offer a more contemporary aesthetic. The business was looking for a particular emphasis on spatial efficiency since all cardio machines reside on the first floor, where footprint constraints demand compact yet high-performance designs.
Matrix Fitness’ newly installed machines feature enhanced digital interfaces, improved displays, and the ability for members to log into personal entertainment accounts such as Netflix, which has been especially well-received by users who appreciate the ability to customize their workout experience with streaming content.
