In an unusual and headline-grabbing move, a gym in northern China has announced a bold challenge — lose 50 kilograms in three months and win a Porsche. The campaign, launched to promote healthy living and attract new members, has gone viral across Chinese social media.
According to local reports, the fitness center, located in the city of Jilin, unveiled the offer earlier this week, stating that anyone who successfully sheds 50kg within 90 days under professional supervision will drive home a brand-new Porsche 911.
Gym management claims the initiative aims to motivate people battling obesity and raise awareness about the importance of fitness. However, health experts have cautioned that losing such an extreme amount of weight in such a short time could be dangerous and unrealistic for most participants.
“We want to inspire people to push their limits safely and embrace a healthier lifestyle,” said the gym’s spokesperson. “All participants will undergo regular medical checkups and customized fitness plans.”
The offer has sparked heated debate online — with some praising the creativity of the campaign, while others criticized it as a marketing stunt with potential health risks.
Despite the controversy, hundreds have reportedly signed up, hoping to transform their lives — and possibly drive away in luxury.
