Chinese Gym Offers Porsche for Weight Loss

A gym in China — Binzhou, China — Shandong province, China, launched a controversial weight-loss challenge offering a used 2020 Porsche Panamera to anyone who loses 50 kilograms in three months. The challenge requires a 10,000 yuan registration fee, covering accommodation and meals. While the gym claims to provide professional guidance, medical experts, including 'Dr Zeng' and Pu Yansong from Shaanxi Provincial People s Hospital, have strongly warned against the dangers of such rapid weight loss, citing risks like muscle loss, hormonal imbalances, and organ strain. The initiative has sparked widespread debate on Chinese social media platforms like Weibo, with many users questioning its safety and viewing it as a marketing gimmick.
