After Krispy Kreme announced that it is offering a free donut to those who receive the COVID-19 vaccine, a New Jersey gym owner has put his own spin on the incentivized push.
Ian Smith, the owner of The Atilis Gym, of Bellmawr, New Jersey, took to Twitter to say he offers free gym memberships to those who don’t get the vaccine.
In the viral tweet, Smith wrote, “We believe in health – the real way – exercise, good nutrition, plenty of vitamin D, zinc, and an environment to de-stress.”
In the light of @Krispy Kreme giving free donuts for receiving the CVD recording, here at @BuienRadarNL we give free memberships to anyone who does not get vaccinated. We believe in health – the real way – exercise, good nutrition, plenty of vitamin D, zinc and an environment to de-stress.

Since posting the tweet on Tuesday, Smith said he had received a lot of hate mail from Thursday morning.
I got a lot of hate mail today. Did I say something wrong?
