Kmart wows shoppers with $49 at-home workout gadget for weight loss: 'I need it in my life'
Kmart Australia has made home workouts even more affordable with the launch of a new $49 item.
The retailer quietly released the 'Multi Workout Station' across stores nationwide, which makes it easier to strengthen your core and arms.
A range of exercises can be performed using the at-home exercise gadget, including bicep curls, triceps extension, shoulder raises and ab rolls.
The product is also lightweight and can be folded away for easy storage and comes with two resistance tubes, a comfort pad and two buckles to perform a variety of exercises.
'A full body workout without leaving home? Our $49 multi workout station makes it easy,' Kmart said in its video.
Despite recently launching, it's already a hit with customers who are 'obsessed' with the gadget while others revealed the product has sold out in their store.
'I've just bought one and I love it,' one said.
'Looks good for the price point,' another shared.
'I need it in my life,' one added.

But others weren't convinced and claimed the product looked 'flimsy'.
'I bought this and have been using it, works well for the price. However I find it doesn't glide as easy through the middle part where the join is, which is frustrating as you sometimes have to slide back and forth to get it past the middle section,' one shopper commented.
'But it still manages to do a decent workout and folds away neatly.'
'I'd snap that first go,' another claimed.
Earlier this year, the retailer launched a 10-in-1 core trainer, which is perfect for strengthening your abdomen, biceps and thighs, offering multiple exercise options - including sit-ups, stomach crunches, push-ups and leg raises.
Featuring three levels of resistance, the versatile workout tool is ideal for anyone looking to elevate their fitness routine at home.
Weighing just 1.8kg, the product offers 10 different exercises - including sit-ups, push-ups, biceps training, oblique crunch, side crunch, stomach crunch, abdominal crunch, leg raises, thigh training and sit-up crunch.
'If your New Year's resolution involves getting stronger, you need this core trainer from Kmart,' a fitness enthusiast said in a Kmart video.
'You can do 10 different exercises to work every part of your body. And it's such a great workout.
'For only $39, I highly recommend you give this a try.'
Meanwhile, many nostalgic shoppers pointed out the budget retailer was bringing back the '90s core trainers, which were commonly seen on infomercials.
Many expressed their excitement over the classic 'ab worker' returning to shelves while others recalled their mums - and even grandmas - owning a similar fitness tool.
'Next minute we'll all be back in fluoro Lycra and listening to Olivia Newton-John's 'Let's get physical' on repeat,' one said, laughing.
'Oh my god they are back. We've come full circle if these bad boys are back,' another shared.
'90s are really coming back from fashion to workout gear yes,' one added.
'My mum and aunties all had one in the '90s growing up - we used to play with it,' another revealed.
Meanwhile, many said they couldn't wait to get their hands on the 'cool' gadget.
'Such a good idea,' one said.
'Oh I like the look of this,' another raved.
'I need this,' one added.

Deep Dive: Wise – Building a World of Money Without Borders: By Sam Boboev
Wise (formerly TransferWise) has quietly become one of fintech's biggest success stories, transforming how people and businesses send money across borders. From humble startup origins in 2011, Wise now moves over £145 billion internationally each year for 15+ million customers – at a fraction of the cost charged by banks. In doing so, Wise saved its users an estimated £2 billion in fees in FY2025 alone. It's a rare fintech that's both fast-growing and profitable, pursuing a bold mission encapsulated in its slogan: 'Money without borders – instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.' This deep dive explores why Wise matters today – covering the massive market it's tackling, its journey and products, the technology and regulatory infrastructure under its hood, its recent financial performance, competitive landscape, and what customers and leadership are saying. A Massive Market Ripe for Disruption Moving money internationally has long been notorious for high costs and hassle. Over £22 trillion crosses borders each year, projected to reach £28 trillion by 2027 as globalization drives more migration, remote work, and global commerce. By Wise's own 2025 estimate, the number may be as high as £32 trillion annually. Historically, this market was dominated by big banks and legacy remittance providers relying on an antiquated correspondent banking network. International transfers often meant 'expensive, slow and inefficient service, reliant on outdated infrastructure,' as Wise's 2023 report bluntly puts it. Banks and incumbents like Western Union layered on fees and hidden exchange rate markups – profiting from customers' lack of transparency. The result: sending money abroad could cost 5-8% in fees (often not obvious upfront) and take days to arrive. Wise was founded to change this status quo. Its vision of 'Money Without Borders' is about making moving money 'as cheap, fast, and convenient as sending an email,' in the words of its co-founder. Wise's core innovation was using technology and clever account structures to eliminate intermediaries and hidden fees, giving users the real mid-market exchange rate and charging only a low upfront fee. As we'll see, this strategy is forcing the industry to evolve. Today, many fintechs and even banks are racing to offer cheaper, easier cross-border payments – yet traditional banks remain Wise's primary competitors, still handling the majority of cross-currency transactions. A growing field of digital challengers (from neobanks like Revolut to PayPal's Xoom and others) are also carving out niches. But Wise has a head start in scale, efficiency, and trust – built over a decade of singular focus on solving this problem. From Startup to Public Company Wise's origin story is a personal one. In 2011, two Estonian friends living in London – Kristo Käärmann and Taavet Hinrikus – grew frustrated with the 'massive problem' of bank fees on international transfers. They started TransferWise that year to help people send money abroad at the true exchange rate. The concept resonated: by 2014, having raised a $58 million Series C to expand globally, TransferWise launched in the US and Australia. The company hit major milestones quickly. It reached its first £1 billion transferred (cumulative) in 2014, and by 2017 was profitable with over £1 billion being moved every month through its platform – a rarity in fintech. Importantly, Wise also became an innovator in financial infrastructure early on. In 2016 it gained direct access to the UK's Faster Payments network (the first tech company to do so), showing a knack for working with regulators to improve speed and cost. Over time, TransferWise broadened its offerings beyond person-to-person remittances. In 2016 it launched its first business accounts for SMEs to send money internationally on better terms. By 2018 it rolled out a borderless multi-currency account and debit Mastercard, enabling customers to hold money in multiple currencies and spend it via card in different countries with low fees. The company's global footprint also expanded: it opened offices around the world (10 offices by 2019, including a European hub in Belgium to navigate Brexit) and set up an Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore in 2017. In 2021, reflecting its broadened mission, TransferWise rebranded to 'Wise.' That same year, Wise went public via a direct listing on the London Stock Exchange – notably, London's largest tech listing ever at the time. The listing valued Wise at ~$11 billion, signaling its arrival as a major fintech player. Today, Wise is truly international: over 6,500 employees ('Wisers') across 20+ offices serve customers in 170+ countries. Yet the company insists it's 'still solving only a fraction of the problem'. As CEO Kristo Käärmann wrote, 'Twelve years ago we set out to solve the massive problem people and businesses face in sending money around the world… While we're nowhere near mission complete, 16 million people and businesses are now helping us get closer every day.' In the next sections, we'll examine how Wise is attempting to fulfill that mission through its products and underlying infrastructure. --------- Source: Wise Annual Reports FY2023–FY2025; product pages and blog; CEO and executive statements from Wise reports; and Wise investor reports highlighting key metrics.

Tragic update after young girl, 7, captured hearts across Australia with her brave cancer battle - and the heartbreaking four words she told her parents
A young girl who captivated the hearts of Australians during her cancer battle has died years later after relapsing. Uma Tomarchio was two years old when she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2020, before it worsened to a more aggressive form of cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, in 2022. When her Italian parents, Giuseppe Tomarchio and Lucia Gardini, were unable to secure Medicare assistance for the then-four-year-old's treatments, they reached out to the media and public for help, with Aussies donating more than $300,000. In September that year, a successful bone marrow transplant meant she was largely cancer-free, until she was diagnosed again with Epstein-Barr Virus – potentially passed through donor cells – and then later with Lymphoma. After a gut-wrenching stint in intensive care and an induced coma, Uma began to regain her strength by February 2023 as a five-year-old. But in June this year, family friend Megan Mahon announced the young girl had died at seven-years-old. She had relapsed with therapy-related Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in May, and while undergoing chemotherapy, Uma developed a fast-moving lung infection which her immune system was too weak to fight. Ms Mahon said the fundraising and tireless work of her doctors had given Uma two fun-filled years of life before she relapsed with cancer for the fourth time. She revealed the heartbreaking message Uma gave her parents in her final days, saying she 'wanted to be free'. 'Two years ago, thousands of you came together in a remarkable show of kindness to save a little girl you'd never met,' Ms Mahon wrote on GoFundMe on Saturday. 'Uma Tomarchio, bright-eyed, pony-loving, full of life, was fighting a ferocious battle against cancer. You opened your hearts and gave her the chance to live.' 'They were two miraculous, beautiful, hard-won years. They were her soul's time to play, to love, to teach, and to shine.' When, on May 19, 2025, Uma relapsed for the fourth time, doctors moved quickly, starting treatment and preparing her body for a bone marrow transplant. Just three weeks in, Uma developed a rare and aggressive lung infection that her immune system – weakened by years of therapies – could not overcome. Ms Mahon wrote on the fundraiser she would like to help the family prepare for Uma's farewell. 'While nothing can ease the grief of losing a child, we want to give Uma the beautiful, unforgettable farewell she deserves, and ease the burden on her family, who have endured five years of unimaginable hardship,' she wrote. She is raising funds to cover Uma's outstanding medical costs and a memorial service. Ms Mahon raised the initial $300,000 sum for a life-saving bone marrow transplant for Uma. After successfully receiving the transplant, Uma was declared 'cancer-free' in late October 2022. Until in December, the family learned just before Christmas their little girl had Lymphoma. Uma had 'become unwell at the beginning of December' after receiving the bone marrow transplant just over a month earlier. 'She was admitted to hospital with a fever,' Ms Mahon said. 'Within days she had deteriorated and was sent to ICU with huge amounts of fluid and swollen lymph nodes in her neck.' Uma was put on dialysis as the fluid and toxins were drained from her body, according to Ms Mahon. The family spoke about the ordeal with Carrie Bickmore on Channel Ten's The Project in August 2022. 'She is a very sweet, very happy little girl she always smiles, even in the hospital when she is very sick, she always finds a way to smile,' Ms Gardini told Bickmore. 'One night she was very sick, vomiting and with a temperature and she just looked at me and said ''I'm not flying to the sky mum don't worry, I'm staying with you',' she said 'Even then, in that moment, she was trying to make me feel better.' The Project host, overcome with emotion, struggled to respond - managing a 'wow' as she choked back tears.

EXCLUSIVE I sold my family home for £400,000 in a raffle so we could move to Australia - it was the biggest risk of my life and I'll NEVER do it again
A mother-of-three who sold off her family home in a raffle to facilitate a dream move to Australia has revealed how she achieved the feat - and made £90,000 in profit. Natalie Rowcroft, 38, set out to sell her semi-detached home in Salford, Greater Manchester, in 2021 to pursue a better life for her family down under - but when the UK entered the Covid lockdown, it seemed an 'impossible' task. So instead of keeping her £290,000 house listed with estate agents and waiting for prospective buyers to make an offer, she took matters into her own hands and decided to offer the four-bedroom property up as a raffle prize. Natalie jumped on a trend growing in popularity in the UK with the help of competitions run by organisations like Omaze - the charity which offers luxury houses in dreamy locations around the country to lucky raffle winners. In recent years the UK has seen an explosion in property raffles after homeowners found their properties languishing on estate agent portfolios owing to Covid 19 and its subsequent lockdown. With tickets selling for as little as £1 in some cases, thousands of people around the UK take a punt on winning a home for the price of a packet of crisps - but while Natalie and her family managed to make money on their family home, she has revealed it's not something she'll do again in a hurry. Property raffles sell like hot cakes for the likes of Omaze, Raffle House, Elite Competitions and Raffall - the latter a platform that helped Natalie Rowcroft raffle her home off in a little over a month. The teaching assistant told MailOnline that when Covid struck she thought the 'world was going to end' and along with it, her dreams of selling up and emigrating to Australia. 'The lockdown made it impossible to sell our home, estate agents couldn't even bring anyone around [to view it]' said Natalie. And so she took the wild plunge to sell her family home in a raffle. After doing a little web research, she and her reluctant husband Bradley, also 38, put their home up for a £2 raffle at legal raffling company, Raffall. To sweeten the deal they threw in the family's BMW. In 45 days they sold £360,000 worth of tickets and waved goodbye to their home. But Natalie insists the process wasn't nearly as smooth as it reads. It all began with a 'crazy idea' she told MailOnline. 'I literally set it up online. Within the first day we sold 10,000 tickets. 'From then it just went absolutely crazy... it sort of blew up from then'. But Bradley wasn't convinced by his wife's plan, and told Natalie she had 'lost the plot' for wanting to sell their beloved family home in this way. Natalie admitted she too had some initial reservations as she had never raffled something worth hundreds of thousands of pounds before. But at a time when most people were left with nothing to do than watch TV and trawl the internet, Natalie saw a golden opportunity and reached out to strangers urging them to buy raffle tickets. In a matter of days she became a one-woman PR machine, employing her family of five - including three kids Bradley, 19, Aiden, 17 and Rhys, 12 - to plug tickets in a series of fun social media videos. Local media caught wind first before the Rowcrofts became a national internet sensation. 'The Manchester Evening News contacted us and then we had friends that were helping us share [our story]. We weren't that great with social media [back then] so a couple of friends helped us set up our Facebook page. 'I just needed to get it [the raffle] out there. We were in a pandemic, in a lockdown - we needed to get it out as far as we can'. The campaign snowballed and their faces were soon plastered across the BBC, ITV and even social media funnyman Tiny Tim wanted a piece of the action. Though grateful for the growing spotlight, Natalie said she couldn't keep up and lamented how a plan to sell their family home somehow became a 'full time job'. 'We did Facebook challenges, lives, TikTok videos... I was going through my Instagram inboxing every single person' she recalled. 'It was a full time job times two. It was literally from 4 o'clock in the morning 'til gone midnight. During those hours I was still answering messages. I just couldn't sleep because I was like 'I need to succeed'.' 'It was the school holidays so I was lucky that I was off during that period. I wouldn't have been able to work [otherwise]... it would've been impossible'. She fondly remembered sometimes selling up to 4,000 raffle tickets per live video thanks to the Rowcrofts' growing tight-knit online community: 'We were like the face of the raffle. People were invested in buying raffles because they wanted to see us succeed'. 'But it's a lot harder than you would ever imagine,' she continued. 'After four days in it was literally so much hard work and full on. People think "oh you're going to sell tickets instantly or it's a no brainer". 'If I was to rewind or if I knew how much work I would have to put into it I may have not have done it. But we had no option or choice'. Natalie can't put a price on the physical and mental strain the project caused her - but she can on the PR campaign, which she estimated to be a whopping £6,000. 'It costs you a lot of money to promote... it cost us a lot of money to boost posts on Facebook, all the printing, spending hours driving around' she explained. When she put up their home for a 90-day raffle, she expected to sell enough tickets to cover the cost of their home, solicitors fees and the mandatory 10 per cent owed to Raffall. But nothing more. But when she crunched the numbers, Natalie was pleasantly surprised to realise she had reached her goal within half the time frame, and still took home £90,000 in profit. She reflected on how brave she was to transform the idea into reality, particularly when her partner was unsure if it was the right thing to do. 'You've lost the plot,' he told her when she called him at work to propose her plan. Luckily a friend she consulted at the time reassured her it was worth a go and it all paid off. Natalie spoke on the 'crazy' number of people who constantly drove past the couple's home and wanted to confirm it wasn't a 'scam'. 'For the people that were saying it was too good to be true - I would send my address and say come to my house,' said Natalie. Natalie speaks to MailOnline from her new home in Brisbane, Australia where the family has lived happily for the last four years. She acknowledged that the move is a dream come true but remained adamant that anyone inspired to follow suit should get clued up on the weight of the task. 'It was a massive risk and never in a million years would I do it again. The amount of work it took. My life was on hold for 45 days. 'It was probably the biggest risk I've ever taken in my life, there was so much pressure on me because I had taken it on and had decided to do this. 'If we didn't meet the amount of ticket sales to sell our property we get to keep the property but we'd lose our time and the money we spent on our marketing. The winner would get a cash prize instead of our house but then we would get nothing.' As a mother of three, Natalie vividly remembers fearing for the safety of her family after having to welcome strangers into their lives in order to sell raffle tickets. The work of matriarch, businesswoman and PR machine at times became too much to bear. She said: 'I had to stay up and get back to everyone and message everyone and reply back. If I didn't people would say it's a scam.... it was scary. We gave our address to everyone. 'If one person calls me a scammer... with anything like that once you put your name to something and it gets that big you will get trolls and haters'. Speaking about why she'll never repeat the experience, she said: 'You get worried because you're putting your family out there and people know where your address is. Just all of that and the no sleep'. For anyone else who wants to raffle off their homes, Natalie's advice is to remain dedicated. Ultimately, one has to 'live and breathe' the raffle if they want it to be a success, she said. 'People started setting up their raffle accounts and contacting me saying "oh well we've not even sold any tickets". They were like "well how did you do it?" 'I'm like, 'scroll through my Facebook page',' she joked. 'I'm like for us it was literally day and night - you've got to breathe it. You've got to be fun, you've got to be active. 'If you've got a full time job and you're not on it [the property raffle] all the time tickets aren't going to sell. 'You have to physically put it out there and make people buy your tickets - they're not going to buy it just by putting a link online. It's not going to happen'.
