Chikara's recent video, well from Friday irked me. She is someone I usually have on in the background during walks and stuff but this video really rubbed me the wrong way.
First off - Chikara moved to Bulgaria, a relatively cheap/shithole country still reeling from communist occupation 30 years prior.
It is 2.28 Lev to 1 British Pound, So Chikara is doing this 8 week program called Phoenix Rising (much creative). The issue with this is she is not a dietician, a coach or nutritionist. So she is essentially running a scheme with no experience other than her own which as most of you are aware can land you in some really nasty hot water. As if someone is injured, is not happy or essentially is just incredibly disgruntled could investigate you.
The oddest thing is the cost and the conversions, so she is charging £50 for applications (saying there are limited spots to drive interest, which is pretty disingenuous). The UK is not her country of residence anymore though she is permanently in Bulgaria and started it when living in Bulgaria. Then offering $ prizes to the top 3 losers (as in weight). That from an accounting angle is bizarre and I get cashing in but it looks pretty fraudulent because she is taking it via PayPal gifting and not services. Meaning as a customer; you are not insured, you gifted the money meaning you are losing that right.
I get doing a hustle but doing fraud either way makes you look equally as slimy as the people you detract about. Also doing a weight loss program with no qualifications is just flat out wrong, even Obese2Beast does not do that because he knows that is disingenuous.
I like Chikara but I expected better and basic fraud makes you no better than Chantal or Amber.
