What the petition asks
Subsidise gym membership, group exercise and personal training to give more people access to health and fitness services and give a much needed economic boost to the leisure industry as part of a 'work out to help out' campaign.
The leisure sector has waited the longest to reopen without any additional funding with many unable to reopen, yet the government is giving money off vouchers for fast food outlets such as McDonalds, KFC and Burger King as part of the 'eat out to help out' campaign but prescribing cycling to tackle obesity as part of the 'Better Health' campaign. There is an easier and more cost effective way to help businesses affected by coronavirus whilst tackling obesity.
