Gym owner giving free memberships to those who don't get vaccinated

BELLMAWR, N.J. (WNCN) -- In light of popular doughnut shop Krispy Kreme offering free doughnuts to those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, one gym owner is doing the opposite.

Ian Smith, who says he is the co-owner of The Atilis Gym, located in Bellmawr, New Jersey had a different proposal -- free memberships for everybody who has not been vaccinated.

Smith had this to say on Twitter:

In light of @krispykreme giving free donuts for receiving the CVD shot, here at @TheAtilisGym we are giving out free memberships to all who don’t get vaccinated. We believe in health - the real way - exercise, good diet, plenty of Vitamin D, Zinc, and an environment to destress.

Twitter users didn't waste time commenting on Smith's proposal with mixed reactions.

Some slammed Smith's decision.

"Yeah thanks for supporting Bellmawar's most famous killer," one Twitter user replied.

Yeah thanks for supporting Bellmawar's most famous killer. Kevin Ade would be 31 right now. Think about that Ian.

Ian claims he doesn't run from his mistakes but he's causing more deaths by discouraging vaccinations.

Believe in science. You use a cell phones for Gods sake.

Others were happy to see such a proposal and shot back at everyone who disagreed.

"Why all the hatred??? Everyone is welcome to have their own opinions," another user said.

Why all the hatred??? Everyone is welcome to have their own opinions.
