What the petition asks
I would like you to consider keeping gyms open to help support us that suffer with mental health and use gyms with Covid measures in place as an escape
I feel a lot of people will suffer without being able to to go to the gym, gyms tend to big open spaces and as long as the people attending them are sticking to the measures put in place there shouldn’t be a problem
