Feb 2, 2022 · Centr app review: Price. Centr costs $10 a month on a 12-month contract or $30 a month on a rolling contract. This makes it a lot more expensive than other apps on the market, but the cost ...

I tried Centr during our test of workout apps, which pitted it against options like Nike Training Club, Apple Fitness+, Peloton, Obé, and Aaptiv. Its higher-than-most price —$30 a month, or $120 for the year if you pay up front, compared to $15 a month or $100 a year for Aaptiv and free for Nike—kept it from cracking the top spot. But there’s a lot...
When you sign up for Centr, you take a brief quiz that asks your general body stats like height and weight, fitness level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), goals (“lose weight,” “build muscle,” or “get fit and toned”), and dietary preferences (meat-eater, pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan). From there, it provides you with a calendar that shows y...
The high quality fitness programming
Centr’s workouts come in two formats. “Coached” are classic workout video-type classes that are great if you want to see an instructor demonstrate and explain a move. “Self-guided” are audio-driven workouts that show brief videos or photos of each move that are a good option if you are comfortable with exercising and want some more flexibility with your workout. Workouts are scheduled on your app calendar—for me, it was a pretty even split between coached and self-guided workouts—and are usua...
The motivational instructors
Centr calls its users “legends,” and I really felt that I had accomplished something after I finished my daily workout. During most of them, I felt challenged, sweat a lot, and felt like I was getting stronger the more frequently I used it. I found Centr’s instructors personable, charismatic, and generally fun. This is possibly because many of the teachers have an Aussie lilt in their voice, and I share the bias that many Americans have that predisposes me to assume anything said with an Aust...
The breadth of meal plan offerings
For the purposes of this review, I mainly focused on the exercise portion of the app, rather than the diet and lifestyle sections. But I made some of the recipes suggested for me as a vegetarian not specifically seeking weight loss—and found a few keepers (like a tofu banh mi bowl that I intend to make part of my meal rotation moving forward) and a few duds (zucchini and haloumi fritters that seemed great in theory but soggy in practice…possibly due to user error). Overall, though, the meal p...
No live classes or clear workout tracking
The lack of live classes doesn’t impact the quality of Centr’s workouts, but it may dissuade some people who like getting the occasional first-name shoutout from an instructor during a class in their home gym. Centr also doesn’t keep track of the workouts you’ve already done—something I didn’t realize I appreciated about other apps until I noticed it was missing from this one.
Lackluster music options
It’s also difficult to listen to music on the same device you’re using for the app if you’re doing coached workouts—something other apps allow and that I enjoy. These workouts play a light, tinkly, Muzak-style music in the background that doesn’t go away unless you mute everything, instructions included. Depending on the workout you pick, you usually canplay your own music, but it’s very faint and overlaid by the built-in background music. Other workouts don’t let you play music at all. This...
Not enough Chris Hemsworth
My final complaint is less about the app itself and more about the levying of expectations. Chris Hemsworth doesn’t appear in Centr’s workouts all that much. This is fine—he is a busy man and not a certified personal trainer himself, as far as I know—and he pops up in a few videos alongside other trainers. But if you are thinking of getting the app with the expectation of exercising with Chris Hemsworth, don’t. Instead, you can expect to work out with a team of qualified, certified fitness ex...
On a month-to-month plan, Centr costs $30 a month, which makes it the priciest fitness app I’ve tested. But you get quite a lot of stuff along with that cost. And, as with most apps, you can also get it at a reduced rate if you commit to a longer time. Three months is $60 ($20 a month) and a full year is $120 ($10 a month). Compared to a similarly ...
As far as comprehensive lifestyle apps that feature a well-known Hollywood actor go, you can’t do much better than Centr. There are cheaper (even free) exercise apps out there, but if you don’t mind spending a little more money and committing to the program, you’ll get what you pay for. If you are looking for a long-ish term health investment and f...
