Matrix T30 XR Treadmill Review

How long will the Matrix T30 XR last?

The Matrix T30 XR is sturdily built and designed for light to moderate use, has a decent weight of 289 lbs., meaning more metal than plastic, and can hold users that weigh up to a 350 lb. max. The T30 XR is backed by a lifetime warranty on the frame, motor, and cushioning with 5 years on parts, and 2 years on labor. Walkers to light joggers are best suited for the T30 XR and with proper care and maintenance, get many years of use from this treadmill.

Brief Overview

The Matrix T30 XR is the basic screen choice out of three in the T30 series. Built with simple exercise functions, this treadmill is appealing for individuals who focus on performance and not entertainment and is perfect for those starting their fitness journeys. While not exactly compact at 6.4’, the T30 has four wheels to help easily move when workouts are complete and a variety of other features interesting enough to warrant inspection considering there are two other consoles to choose from in this series.

Overall Quality

The Matrix T30 XR treadmill is designed for light use by shorter users. It comes with a 3.0 HP CD motor backed by a generous lifetime guarantee that can reach speeds of up to 12.5 MPH which will make even the most dedicated power walker sweat. The T30 deck system is specially cushioned for higher performance and less impact strain and is a solid 1” thick. The running surface is more suited for shorter strides at 20” x 55” but will give users plenty of elbow room to add in an upper body workout during walking sessions. It also offers an incline up to 12% which is not quite as awe inspiring as it sounds when other treadmills in this price range go up to 15% and even offer decline features as well.
The Matrix T30 XR treadmill comes with a soothing blue 8.5” LCD screen that displays standard performance information keeping users focused on achieving goals and new levels of fitness heights. There are 5 built in programs and it also comes with Wi-Fi capabilities and heartrate monitoring. While simplistic in nature, the T30 XR has solid functionality built into a durable frame that offers a sleek design in any home gym.
