Combined Company Poised to Benefit from Enhanced Scale, Synergies, and Long-Term Tailwinds due to Increased Focus on Personal Health and Wellbeing

HighPost Capital (“HighPost”), a leading private investment firm focused on the global consumer and consumer technology sectors, today announced the acquisitions of Centr, a personalized digital health and fitness platform curated by Chris Hemsworth and his hand-picked team of internationally renowned experts, and Inspire Fitness (“Inspire”), a leader in state-of-the-art fitness equipment.
