1 Believe in better health

2 2 Lifelong vitality Albert Einstein noted that life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, he said, you must keep moving. Certainly running a marathon and hiking through canyons qualify. But so do walking the dog and hosting a holiday dinner. Even everyday tasks like grocery shopping can require strength, flexibility and stamina. The activities of daily life are life itself. Matrix can keep your residents active so they can maintain the lifestyles they desire. We offer a full suite of cardio and strength products that develop the endurance and strength required to perform activities of daily living, minimize the effects of injury, prolong independence and preserve dignity at all ages and stages of life. Our accessible lifestyle solutions promote general fitness and can also be tailored to specific protocols, including therapy and rehabilitation.

3 a Starting an exercise regimen at any age can maintain mobility and preserve independence. // Journal of the {American Medical Association Believe in better movement Matrix solutions for active living

4 4 Lifelong independence Wellness is more than the absence of pain or disease. It is a positive, balanced approach to life that prioritizes and nurtures physical, intellectual and emotional health. Cardiovascular and strength training have always been integral components of wellness. Now research shows that regular physical activity can help maintain health and happiness as we age. We not only extend our lives but also vastly improve how we feel. We move more freely. We think more clearly. We forge relationships more easily. We weather challenges more confidently. Indeed, exercise affects five of the commonly recognized seven dimensions of wellness. It promotes social connections, evens our emotions, keeps us productive, stimulates our brains and benefits our overall health. At every stage of life, exercise is about more than how much we can carry or how our clothes fit. It feeds us. It nurtures us. It restores us. It connects us. Exercise is powerful. And Matrix knows exercise. Matrix offers a full range of innovative products that make strength and cardio training possible for individuals of nearly all ages and ability levels.

5 Physical activity can minimize or delay the effects of aging. // Journal of the American Academy of {Orthopedic Surgeons

6 6 Complete portfolio With the industry s most complete product portfolio spanning all varieties of cardio and strength equipment, Matrix can support all stages of the continuum of care and promote health and fitness for individuals of any age, size or ability. Thoughtful design At Matrix we know that if individuals are going to move more and move well, they need to move correctly. With our biomechanically correct designs and ergonomically sound operations, users naturally maintain proper posture, alignment and paths of motion while exercising to minimize the risk of strain or injury that can derail fitness plans or undermine recovery. Easy progress monitoring We develop and incorporate technology that facilitates the tracking of progress and the measuring of outcomes. Gains are usually incremental, so accurate, accessible data keeps users focused and engaged while it enables therapists or trainers to revise protocols for optimal outcomes. Our program can be tailored to any individual in any setting. Ultimately, we at Matrix want to keep people moving eagerly, comfortably and confidently wherever life takes them. Each hour of regular exercise extends life expectancy {by two hours. // American Heart Association
