Struggling with cash flow imbalance and cheating WeFit vulnerability facing virtual booking status, many users share the same account, there are accounts that collect more than 100 times per month – the peak is 202 times /month

But doing business with an unlimited set of models is not easy.

Pre-pay customers give WeFit a fixed amount and WeFit will pay for the partner gym on each customer use. The more customers go to practice, the more WeFit costs. There are times, WeFit calculates customers will only pay 20,000 VND / training session if regular exercise 30 times / 30 days / month. But reality is not only that.

In fact, there have been many months where the cost we paid to the partner gym is greater than the revenue; besides, there are also many costs coming from our failure to control the loopholes of the training model. unlimited as: virtual booking, many users share the same account, there are accounts that collect more than 100 times per month – the peak is 202 times / month, … “
