After Krispy Kreme announced that it was offering a free donut to those receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, a New Jersey gym owner put his own effect on the stimulus.
Ian Smith, owner of The Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, took to Twitter to say he offers free subscriptions to the gym for those who do not receive the vaccine.
In the viral tweet, Smith wrote: “We believe in health – the real way – exercise, good diet, lots of vitamin D, zinc and a de-stressing environment.”
In light @krispykreme offering free donuts for receiving the CVD shot, here at @TheAtilisGym we offer free subscriptions to all those who are not vaccinated. We believe in health – the real way – exercise, a good diet, lots of vitamin D, zinc and a de-stressing environment.

Since posting the tweet on Tuesday, Smith said he has received a lot of hate emails since Thursday morning.
I received a lot of hate messages today. I said something wrong?
