Inside Centr Unlimited: Luke & Alexz reveal all Inside Centr Unlimited: Luke & Alexz reveal all

Your trainers Luke and Alexz are so in sync, they may have been related in a past life.

What was your mission when you joined forces to create Centr Unlimited?
Luke: Our mission was to design a bodyweight program like no other that caters for every skill level with a ton of variety. This program could be the starting point of your fitness journey or that new challenge that gets you motivated again.

Alexz: My mission was to out-train Luke in every workout! But really, from my perspective, it was all about results and having a good time. I’m not interested in programs unless they are FUN, so Luke and I wanted to make sure we made this one as enjoyable as possible, while still delivering the results you deserve.

What makes this program unique?
Luke: Unlimited has the most variety of any program we have created so far at Centr. It’s a 6-week program with 3 different phases, and 3 skill levels so you can train at the level that’s right for you: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. With over 400 different exercises, low-impact modifications, and progressions, anyone and everyone can do this program and be challenged. How was that for a pitch?

Alexz: Beautifully done, Luke. This program was built on variety. We really have packed everything into 6 weeks to get you amazing results.

Tell us about the phases we’ll progress through every 2 weeks: Burn, Tone and Build.
Luke: The Burn phase is designed to kickstart your body into burning fat, with each workout progressively getting more challenging to increase the burn.

Alexz: That’s right, in the first phase we’ll be stimulating weight loss and building up your cardiovascular endurance. Then in the Tone phase, we want to help you carve shape around those muscles.

Luke: We’ll still be burning fat, but we also introduce exercises that are great for toning your body. In the final Build phase, we really switch up the tempo by bringing in exercises to build your strength and muscle.

Alexz and Luke enjoy long walks in the countryside, and making your entire body BURN.

What do you each bring to the program?
Alexz: I love how funny Luke is as a trainer. Somehow you get even funnier when you step onto the workout mat, did you know that? He is really encouraging and always entertaining, and it makes the whole process of training so much easier.

Luke: That’s very nice of you to say! As you can see, Alexz brings high energy, huge personality, plus a whole bag of HILIT exercises that I had never heard of, which are super challenging.

Alexz, which exercises did Luke struggle with in Unlimited?
Alexz: Any of the barre-inspired exercises. He gave them a red hot go, but with all the balancing and his legs shaking so hard… I don’t think I need to explain much further.

Must work on his lower-body strength, got it! Luke, were there any exercises Alexz struggled with?
Luke: After the way she just spoke about my legs, I wish I could say Alexz struggled with something, but she really didn’t. She is super strong. She also hadn’t done much boxing before, but she picked it up really fast.

Alexz: Watch out Michael Olajide Jr, I’m coming for you!

What do you say to those people who think you can’t get results without equipment?
Luke: You just have to look at history and different sports to know that is not true. Look at gymnasts who have amazing physiques, with muscle and strength – they achieve this through bodyweight training.

Luke and Alexz have put their goals down on paper. Have you?

What’s your dream meal after an intense Unlimited training session? Don’t worry Alexz, we won’t make you cook!
Alexz: Protein, protein, protein. I normally have a protein smoothie and a salad with fresh fish or chicken.

Luke: I’m also big on protein smoothies when I have done an intense workout, and I’m not super ready to eat a big meal. Getting some protein in that post-workout window to help with recovery is key.

After a big week of Unlimited, what does the perfect rest day look like?
Luke: I love surfing so I try to hit the waves as much as possible. Some people might not see that as rest, but it is for me!

Alexz: I am totally with Luke on this one – rest days always need a little bit of movement. I’ll definitely be taking an active rest day by going for a walk and letting my body recover for the week ahead.

Let’s say we’re sitting on our sofas, thinking about taking on Unlimited, but we just can’t get up. What do you say to get us moving?
Luke: Just get up and start! I guarantee you will have a laugh with us, we know how to have a good time while we train. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I regretted a workout.

Alexz: What about that first HILIT session you tried with me?

Luke: Maybe while I was doing it… But seriously, you always feel better after a workout. And with Unlimited we will be there to get you through, so let’s go!

Alexz: If you choose to commit and be part of that journey, we’ll take care of the rest.

Luke and Alexz want to see YOUR sweaty Unlimited selfies in the community.

Be honest: who makes the weirdest workout noises?
Luke: I can make some weird sounds when I start pushing, so I would say me. In saying that, Alexz could be making weird sounds as well, but I’m just a lot louder.

Alexz: Hmm, I think we both do. He grunts like a wild animal and I scream out profanities like my mother never taught me any manners. It really all comes down to how hard we are willing to push ourselves. You can make all the noise you want at home while doing Unlimited – this is a no judgment zone!

Who is the hype man or hype woman in this team?
Alexz: We both are! We are very similar and like to encourage everyone to get it done. He calls me sis and I call him bro because it’s like we were related in a past life.

Luke: Aww, thanks sis.

What’s your top tip that will help us make it to the finish line and achieve our goals?
Alexz: No matter how big or small it is, write down your goal – really decide why you are committing to this. We’ve got the movements and results sorted with Centr Unlimited, all you need to do is put in the work.

Luke: Remember why you are doing this, and think of how happy you will be when you stick to the program and finish it.
