What the petition asks

Keep our gyms open during national lockdown

The millions of Individuals In this country that work out in some form of all ages need the gyms facilities and the staff supporting them to remain consistent.
We’ve had 5 months of gym and leisure facility closure and it’s been the cause of increased anxiety, mental health issues and physical issues people need to exercise for all sorts of reasons besides feeling good.
Winter is not a good time for lots of people suffering with anxiety or mental health issue or SAD and our leisure time proven by government studies health organisations etc. have proven the benefits of exercising.
We need our gyms to stay open.
