A gym in Hangzhou, eastern China, refunds a man after repeated complaints about his strong body odour, according to local reporting. The man, identified only as Shi, purchased a three-year membership in May 2025 costing 6,388 yuan (about US$940). The membership would have allowed access until the end of April 2028. After gym management received multiple complaints, it asks him not to use the premises and proceeds with cancelling his membership. He receives a refund, and the gym also offers an alternative option: a three-month membership card at another gym. The reports say the gym’s actions follow the accumulation of odour-related grievances from other customers, with management concluding that it could not continue to admit the member under the agreement. The gym transfers the matter into a restitution process rather than letting the membership run its full term.
