Allow gyms to re-open adhering to covid 19 measures

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Restaurants and pubs are going to be opening again, which inevitably will increase consumption of alcohol and fast foods. It would be wrong under the given circumstances to keep gyms closed, when they can help to keep individuals healthy and fit.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition gyms have been allowed to reopen. You can read the Government's announcement about the reopening of gyms here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-announces-gyms-and-pools-to-reopen-safely
