Centr Team
12 trainers, 1 goal: Find your perfect fit
Centr is all about taking the guesswork out of health and fitness. So as you gear up for your first workouts with our team of world-class experts, we’re here to make getting off on the right foot even easier. Many Centr workouts require minimal equipment and can be completed at home just as easily as at the gym.
Once you input your goal and preferences, the program is tailored to give you the right trainers and workouts our experts know will get you results. This is a handy guide to their specialties and why you’re going to love working out with them.
But we also know that variety is key. As our founder Chris Hemsworth says: “Keep your mind and body engaged and you’re far more likely to stay motivated.”
Some days, you may just want to change things up - you can easily swap workouts and try a new trainer at any time. You should also listen to your body - some days you may need to take it easier, some days you’ll feel ready to push yourself harder. So while you may not see all of these trainers popping up regularly in your planner, you can try out their workouts any time in the Explore section of the program.
Now, let’s get to it and hone in on the trainers who will help you achieve your goals.
