A new sponsor, health and fitness specialist

French subsidiary of the Johnson Health Tech group, n ° 3 worldwide, Matrix designs and manufactures professional fitness and rehabilitation equipment.

The brand equips fitness clubs around the world (HealthCity and Basic Fit Group, Forest Hill Group Aquaboulevard de Paris, Récréa, etc.) as well as major hotels and hotel-clubs (certain hotels in the Four Seasons group, Pullman, Mariott , Club Med…).

Matrix is ​​also the equipment supplier for professional sports clubs such as the rugby players of the Aviron Bayonnais, the pilots of the Red Bull team and those of the Patrouille de France.

The group has always been guided in its development by notions of sharing, value and health. This is why Matrix sponsors schools and institutions by regularly supporting training programs to encourage sport and sportsmanship among young people.

These values ​​are in line with those supported by Véronique Chaplain, the creator of the Tee Break.

On Tuesday October 7, Matrix will offer the public and participants of the Matrix Tee Break Gourmand to test their form on cardio training equipment. They will also be able to discover the functional trainer, a device that allows golfers to train by reproducing the movement of the swing.

In addition to its contribution to the auction for the benefit of the Princess Margot association, Matrix will also offer all participants a pedometer, as part of the national public health operation "10 steps per day".
