Chris Hemsworth's Centr started life as fitness app (a five-star workout app according to our Centr review), but has expanded into offering a world of workout gear, from treadmills and home gyms to adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands, too. And this Black Friday he's just slapped a 20% discount on almost all of Centr's home gym equipment, while throwing in a three-month digital membership to the app to boot.

To showcase what's on offer, the Australian actor, his trainer and his assistant recently shared a guided tour of their new secluded Byron Bay gym, dubbed The Shed: "the official one-stop shop for getting shredded," says Hemsworth in the video. You can watch them take turns to hit as many reps as they can on the seated row, bench press and weighted pull-ups, with forfeits for the loser. Spoiler: Big Hemsy cleans up.

An upgrade on the 3 Home Gym, this versatile two-in-one cable and Smith machine includes enhanced storage, an overhead pulley attachment for lat pulldowns and can be paired with the FID7 adjustable bench (below) for added lower body options. It's the first piece of kit featured in Centr's video, with Hemsworth demonstrating a flawless low row—along with some unconventional spotting tactics for his two training buddies.

This adjustable weights bench's split design offers six back-pad, six mid-pad and four seat-pad settings for an enhanced custom fit compared with standard gym benches. In the clip, Hemsworth uses it to perform incline biceps curls to maximize the range of motion—and therefore the muscle-growing effect. It can also be integrated directly into the FT2 PRO Functional Trainer, enabling you to switch from upper to lower with weighted leg extensions and curls.
