Understanding subscription vs one-time chargesUpdated 2 months ago
Two Types of CENTR Charges
CENTR operates two businesses, so you may see two different types of charges on your statement.
Subscription Charges (Recurring)
What they are: Recurring payments for CENTR app membership
- Frequency: Monthly or Annual
- Amount: Typically $29.99/month or $159-$179.99/year
- What you get: Access to CENTR app content (workouts, meal plans, programs)
- How they appear: "CENTR", "CENTR LLC", "Apple.com/bill CENTR", or "Google Play CENTR"
- Automatic: Charges repeat until you cancel
One-Time Charges (Equipment)
What they are: Single payments for physical equipment purchases
- Frequency: One-time only
- Amount: Varies by equipment (typically $100-$500+)
- What you get: Physical fitness equipment (workout kits, resistance bands, etc.)
- How they appear: "CENTR" or "CENTR LLC" with larger amounts
- No repeat: One-time purchase, no recurring charges
How to Tell the Difference
- Amount: Subscription = $29.99 or $159-179, Equipment = Usually higher amounts
- Frequency: Subscription = Repeats monthly/yearly, Equipment = One time only
- Timing: Subscription = Regular intervals, Equipment = When you place order
- Receipt: Clearly states "subscription" or "order" in receipt email
Why You Might See Both
Many customers purchase both:
- Equipment purchase: One-time payment for workout equipment
- Trial code included: Equipment comes with 3-month app trial
- Trial converts: After trial, app subscription billing begins
- Result: Past equipment charge + new recurring app charges
Common Confusion Scenarios
"I only bought equipment, why am I being charged monthly?"
Your equipment included a free trial code for the CENTR app. When the trial ended, it converted to a paid subscription. This is two separate products:
- Equipment = one-time purchase (already paid)
- App subscription = separate recurring charge
Cancel the app subscription if you only wanted equipment.
"I thought I was buying equipment but it's a subscription"
Equipment purchases and app subscriptions are separate:
- Equipment is one-time purchase
- App subscription is separate recurring charge
- Check your receipt to confirm which you purchased
How to Check What You're Paying For
- Review your email receipts - clearly state subscription or order
- Check charge frequency - monthly/annual = subscription
- Look at your subscription settings in Apple/Google/Web
- Contact [email protected] for clarification on specific charges
Managing Each Type
Subscription Charges
- Cancel anytime through subscription platform
- No more charges after cancellation
- Access continues through paid period
Equipment Charges
- One-time only - no ongoing charges
- No cancellation needed (already complete)
- Equipment is yours to keep
