NJ gym owner offers free memberships to non-vaccinated customers

A New Jersey gym owner is riffing on Krispy Kreme’s popular offer of free donuts for vaccinated customers — by handing out free memberships to people who don’t get vaccinated.

Ian Smith, co-owner of The Atilis Gym, located in Bellmawr, NJ, tweeted out the provocative offer earlier this week, kicking up a storm of controversy in the process.

"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," Smith tweeted.

With this gym that ship sailed months ago. They have been fighting with the governor over being shut down for almost a year.

They never gave up and won the “right” (that they always had) to be open. Dan bongino even did a special show from the gym.

I really don’t know. I even said that I’ll wear a mask and face away from him. LOL!

He’s just petrified because he had a heart attack a couple of years ago.

LOL! I even asked him if he remembered what sex is like.

He changed the topic. Claimed his phone was running out of batteries. LOL!

But yes, things are looking good as far as Covid is concerned.

It’s ridiculous because if he’s living in the house with you, he’s as exposed as he’s going to get.

He’s not reducing his risk by denying you or him.

“I think it’s stupid for a business to get involved one way or the other.”

I think businesses MUST get involved. It will help us patriots make decisions in any efforts for self secession. “They” can have their businesses to support and frequent; patriots will have theirs.

Well, after I got out of the hospital over a year ago, he put me in a retirement home for people with Alzheimers. So he has taken away my home and my dog.

There was no Covid here. But he is still very ... frightened by me? All I get is a fist bump with gloves on. LOL!

What in the world will he do this spring?

That is an excellent point.

There are many, many people who are sick and tired of all the restrictions.

If you want to open your establishment, do so and advertise it!

I bet they will have lots of customers.

I am sorry but I think it’s spontaneous human combustion. Very weird phenomenon.

“My husband won’t even make love to me anymore because of Covid.”

Forgive my impertinence, but I suspect deeper issues.

I had a related thought. Not about the virus, but about the massage parlor murders in Atlanta.
If I ran a massage parlor, I would advertise this:

“Licensed concealed carrying customers get 20% off on all services”

Then watch the hoplophobe heads explode...

You might tell him that for a man, taking the lower position (facing up) with you on top (ride 'em cowgirl!) puts far less strain on his heart. The usual position is with you facing him, but it can be done with you facing away (so he sees your back) as well. You're doing the "work" so he just lies there and enjoys. Risk of heart attack is negligible.

Best of luck rekindling!

“i really don’t think patriotism has anything to do with getting a vaccine one way or the other. ... taking a position on the vaccine not so much”

My take on it doesn’t have to do with getting the vaccine or not — what they’re taking a position on. The freedom for Americans to determine their own healthcare is the issue. People who don’t support that freedom are the opposite of patriots. I don’t think this gym business is taking a position on the vaccine primarily. They’re just fighting for freedom, and rewarding people who defy government mandates. Change “vaccine” to “masks”, or “vitamin D3”, and it would be the same.

Like lockdowns, closing small businesses, forced mask wearing, etc., it’s not about the virus. It’s about power and control.

Thanks for the tip!

I’ll tell him but sometimes I feel like the problem goes deeper than that.

I make him laugh and he says he enjoys time with me, but that’s the extent of it.

I will pass along the info, and thank you again.

Make sure you post that in a big sign at the front door of your gym.
