A Nigerian woman has called out fitness brand I-Fitness, labeling it a scam after being asked to pay ₦59,000 to access a 30-day free gym plan she claimed to have won.
She shared her experience in a video on TikTok, explaining that she had participated in a promotional event held before the opening of a new I-Fitness branch in Auchi.
According to her, she played a game during the event and won what was announced as a 30-day complimentary gym package.
However, upon visiting the gym to activate her package, she was told she had to pay ₦59,000 in total-₦20,000 for membership activation and ₦38,000 for a standard monthly fee without a personal trainer.
"Tell me why I'm paying ₦59,000 for something that's supposed to be free?" she asked in frustration, describing the situation as deceptive and unfair.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions online as many users expressed their disappointment and skepticism over the gym's promotional strategies.
See some reactions below:
Hakim: "I need to pull together like $30M, it's time for them to have a real competition."
justine: "God will still bring other investors that will bring competition on i fitness it just time am coming."
j_diana1: "Sorry about the experience. But you have to be an active member to access any wins hence the 1month sub plus the membership fee."
Foma: "They should have stated when you won the complementary 30 days that there are terms and conditions to access it. It should have just been communicated better on the day you won instead of waiting till the day you got there. I don't think this makes them a scam bra."
🥷Lordsavage2022♏️🇳🇬🇧🇯: "You can just pay for the entrance fee not for personal trainer the person trainer is optional not must."
𝓞𝔃 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓽𝔂𝓵𝓮 ♎️✨: "The have hidden charges always , they one time withdrew charges from my card without my permission. I ended my membership asap."
SLICE OF NAIJA SPICE: "It should have been on your own benefits because when you pay that amount you have two months extra Anyway welcome to I-fitness."
