Keep gyms open during lockdown for everyone’s mental and physical health!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Keep the gyms open for everybody’s health and mental well being. Closing the gyms is only going to have a worst effect on the people whose only escape is the gym.

The government or parliament have the power to look at the Covid numbers more closely the statistics show that less people have caught covid from going to their local gyms than any other social gathering places.
