    CTX/ Build-a-Gym absolutely CRUSHED IT! I had been struggling with numerous manufacturers trying to get a seated leg press/extension that’d ship to Alaska. When I found CTX, they went above and beyond to get my Fractal packaged and shipped with no hassle. I HIGHLY recommend these folks to anyone looking for solid commercial quality equipment for their home.
    Thank you guys!!!

    CTX stands by their products. I recently purchased a Precor elliptical from them & it arrived with a mechanical flaw. They coordinated with a technician to get my product fixed like new. They accomplished this despite the fact that my home was two states away. Special thank you to Nichole for staying accessible and attentive throughout the process!

    Absolutely best in business! Not only is Dillon just genuinely a great human being, he’s real and honest. Loved everything I’ve gotten from him and the team. I’m about 10-15 pieces in deep with him and not stopping anytime soon! Absolutely recommend hitting these guys up for home/commercial equipment. New or refurbished!

    Dillion was great to work with!! Super friendly, quick turn around time, and great at communicating! The guys who delivered it Robb and JJ were also amazing. They came prepared and were very fast and efficient. They offered to help us move around other equipment to ensure we loved our gym! Super nice people and an amazing company! I would highly recommend working with them. Oh and the equipment itself is high quality and looks great in our home gym!

Rebuilt in our Jarrell, TX shop

What remanufactured means here

Every machine we sell as remanufactured goes through the same process, whatever the brand or the price. Not a wipe-down and a price tag.

  1. Inspected and stripped down

    Inspected and stripped down

    Assessed frame to console, then taken apart and checked part by part. Nothing gets judged from the outside.

  2. Moving parts rebuilt or replaced

    Moving parts rebuilt or replaced

    Every moving and touched component, from belts and cables to bearings, bushings and grips, is evaluated and rebuilt or replaced, then the machine gets a full cosmetic restoration.

  3. Refinished and rebuilt to spec

    Refinished and rebuilt to spec

    Electronics bench-tested, frames and welds checked, panels refinished, then reassembled to the manufacturer's specification.

  4. Tested under load

    Tested under load

    A full operational cycle under load before it ships. Anything that fails the final check goes back through service, not onto a truck.

Product details

Commercial-grade equipment, inspected and supported by warranty.

The Matrix A3X Ascent Trainer delivers a natural climbing stride that loads the glutes, hamstrings, and core stabilizers more directly than standard elliptical motion - the upright climbing pattern increases posterior chain demand compared to the forward-leaning stride of traditional ellipticals, producing a higher-intensity lower-body stimulus per session. Ergonomic moving handlebars actively engage the arms, shoulders, and back throughout the stride, making it a genuine total-body conditioning session rather than lower-body dominant cardio.

The A3X operates self-powered or on standard AC power, giving facilities flexibility in floor placement without running power to every machine location. 400 lb max user weight, 442 lb assembled weight, compact 70" × 29.2" footprint. Remanufactured.


Glutes Hamstrings Quadriceps Shoulders Back
Core Stabilizers Calves Triceps Biceps

Natural Climbing Stride - Posterior Chain Emphasis
The upright climbing motion places greater demand on the glutes, hamstrings, and core stabilizers than the forward-lean stride of traditional ellipticals - producing a higher-intensity posterior chain stimulus per session for conditioning and functional strength development.
Ergonomic Moving Handlebars - Total-Body Engagement
Moving handlebars actively engage the arms, shoulders, and back through the full stride - turning every session into a total-body workout that builds upper-body endurance alongside lower-body conditioning rather than leaving the arms as passive stabilizers.
Self-Powered or AC - Flexible Placement
Operates self-powered or connected to standard AC power - facilities can place the A3X anywhere on the floor without running dedicated power, or connect to AC for full-time display and program operation. No layout compromises based on outlet location.
