How do I activate the free CENTR subscription code that came with my equipment?Updated 2 months ago

Quick Answer

Many CENTR equipment purchases include a free CENTR app subscription (3 months or 12 months). Activate your code at Centr.com (not in app stores) by creating an account and entering your activation code during signup.

What Promotional Codes Come with Equipment?

CENTR equipment bundles often include complimentary access to the CENTR fitness app:

Common promotional codes included:

  • 3-month free subscription: Included with Walmart Workout Kit, Costco bundles, Slam Ball, Recovery Kit, and select equipment
  • 12-month free subscription: Included with corporate/employer equipment programs and select premium equipment bundles

Where to find your code:

  • Printed card or insert inside equipment packaging
  • QR code on packaging or included materials
  • Alphanumeric code printed below or near the QR code
  • Format: Usually starts with letters like "CENVZ0" followed by numbers

How to Activate Your Equipment Bundle Code

Important: Codes must be redeemed at Centr.com. They do NOT work in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Step-by-step activation process:

  1. Go to Centr.com (use a web browser, not the app)
  2. Create an account or log in if you already have one
  3. Navigate to the subscription or payment page
  4. Select the plan that matches your code:
    • If you have a 3-month code: Select "Quarterly (3 Month)" plan
    • If you have a 12-month code: Select "Annual" plan
  5. Enter your activation code in the promotional code field at checkout
  6. Complete registration (no payment required when using a valid code)
  7. Download the CENTR app from Apple App Store or Google Play
  8. Log in to the app using the same email and password you created on Centr.com

Critical reminder: You must use the website (Centr.com) to activate your code. If you try to subscribe directly through the App Store or Google Play, your equipment bundle code will not work.

Troubleshooting QR Code Issues

If you're having trouble scanning or using the QR code on your equipment packaging:

Problem: QR code won't scan

Solution:

  • Use your phone's camera app to scan the QR code
  • Make sure there's good lighting
  • Hold your phone steady and at the right distance
  • Try different angles if the code won't scan
  • Manual entry: Look for an alphanumeric code printed below or near the QR code and enter it manually at Centr.com

Problem: No code printed under the QR code

Solution:

  • This is a packaging error
  • Contact CENTR support immediately
  • They will generate a new activation code for you
  • Code typically provided within minutes

Problem: QR code damaged or unreadable

Solution:

  • Try to manually enter any visible portions of the alphanumeric code
  • If completely unreadable, contact CENTR support
  • Provide proof of equipment purchase (receipt or order number)
  • New code will be generated

Troubleshooting Activation Code Issues

Problem: Code says "invalid" or "not recognized"

Possible causes and solutions:

  • Wrong plan selected: Make sure you selected Quarterly (3 Month) for 3-month codes or Annual for 12-month codes
  • Code already used: Each code can only be used once. If you or someone else already redeemed it, it won't work again
  • Technical issue: Contact CENTR support for a replacement code
  • Typo in code entry: Double-check you entered the code exactly as printed (watch for O vs 0, I vs 1)

Problem: Code has expired

Solution:

  • Contact CENTR support with your equipment purchase details
  • Provide: Product purchased, purchase date, where you bought it
  • Support may be able to issue a replacement code depending on circumstances

Problem: Already have a CENTR subscription

Solution:

  • You typically cannot stack promotional codes with existing subscriptions
  • Cancel your current subscription first, then activate your equipment bundle code
  • Or contact CENTR support to discuss options for applying the code after your current subscription ends

Corporate and Employer 12-Month Codes

If you received a 12-month CENTR code through your employer or corporate wellness program:

Activation process:

  1. Go to Centr.com (not app stores)
  2. Create an account or log in
  3. Select the "Annual" plan
  4. Enter your corporate code during signup
  5. Complete registration (no payment required)

If your corporate code doesn't work:

  • Verify with your employer that the code is still valid
  • Check if the code has an expiration date
  • Contact CENTR partnerships team (not general support) for corporate code issues
  • Provide your employer or program name for faster resolution

Common Questions

Q: Can I use my equipment code in the Apple App Store or Google Play?

A: No. Equipment bundle codes ONLY work at Centr.com. You must activate through the website first, then download the app.

Q: I already have a CENTR subscription. Can I still use my equipment code?

A: Typically, no. Promotional codes usually can't be stacked with existing subscriptions. Contact support to explore options.

Q: How long do I have to activate my code?

A: Check your code materials for expiration dates. Some codes expire 6-12 months after equipment purchase. Activate as soon as possible.

Q: Can I give my code to a friend?

A: Codes are intended for the equipment purchaser, but technically whoever activates it first gets the subscription. Be aware that once someone uses it, it can't be used again.

Q: What if I don't want the CENTR subscription?

A: You're not required to activate the code. It's a complimentary offer included with your equipment purchase. If you don't activate it, it simply goes unused.
