Allow gyms to open on 4th July

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Fitness improves health which strengthens the immune system which will then help fight the coronavirus. Fit and healthy people are less likely to catch the coronavirus. The gyms have posted videos on social media showing the members and the government that it's safe and Covid secure.

The government is over looking the fitness and leisure industry. Fitness improves health which strengthens the immune system which will then help fight the coronavirus. The government needs to reconsider their decision and open up the gyms as soon as possible. If it's safe to open bars, pubs,restaurants, barbers and cinemas surely its safe to open up the gyms.

Why it was rejected

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