On the back of promising performances at the last two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Alpine will develop a new training space after the extension of its long-standing collaboration with Matrix Fitness.
As part of this renewed co-operation, Matrix has worked with the team to develop a brand-new state-of-the-art training space and provided premium fitness equipment for the ‘Alpine Human Performance Centre’ [AHPC].
The Enstone-based outfit noted that “the AHPC is designed to optimise the physical conditioning of [its] drivers as well as its roster of Alpine Academy drivers and team members.”
The training facility places a particular emphasis on strength, core and upper body training. Matrix Fitness has supplied functional strength equipment, free weights and resistance machines to help drivers build and maintain the muscle endurance necessary for optimal performance.
Additionally, a cardiovascular zone featuring Matrix’s latest treadmills, ellipticals and bikes supports the team’s endurance and recovery training, “ensuring both drivers and staff can perform at their peak throughout the season.”
The equipment provided by Matrix is the latest milestone in Matrix Fitness’ ongoing commitment to elite sport, ensuring athletes and professionals have access to the highest-quality training equipment to achieve their performance goals.
Commenting on the contract extension, Matt Pengelly, Managing Director at Matrix Fitness UK said: “Our extended collaboration with BWT Alpine Formula One Team is a testament to the shared values of both brands—performance, innovation and pushing boundaries.
“We are proud to provide the team with world-class fitness solutions that contribute to the training and wellbeing of their athletes and staff. Strength training is a fundamental element of a Formula 1 driver’s conditioning, and we are thrilled to support BWT Alpine Formula One Team with the very best equipment, ensuring the team is race-ready at all times.”
