Chris Hemsworth's popular fitness and wellness app Centr has cut a number of Australian jobs, but says the majority of staff in its Melbourne office remain.
A spokesperson confirmed the restructuring to 9News.com.au
The spokesperson said just "a small number of people" had been impacted by the move and added the majority of workers in the Melbourne office are still employed, however did not provide any detail about how many staff remain.
"As a result of a few voluntary resignations in Centr's Melbourne office, the company has made the strategic decision to rethink some functions to foster greater efficiencies and collaboration as Centr expands its platform connecting digital coaching with transformational in-home fitness equipment," the spokesperson said.
"High-quality, stand out content has been the hallmark of Centr, and our efforts in Melbourne have been the heart of our content production.
"Our Melbourne office will continue to be the global hub for all content and customer service, and will also be home to all sales and marketing for Australia, New Zealand and Asia."
Centr was launched by Marvel star Hemsworth in early 2019, and, as of March last year, had gone on to amass more than 200,000 subscribers.
That was when it was sold to HighPost Capital, a private equity firm co-founded by Jeff Bezos's younger brother, Mark.
At the time, it was valued at $290 million.

"We thank them for everything they have brought to both the company and to our consumers."
