What the petition asks
Keep our Gyms' open and place us on essential list due to mental health, physical health to fight virus's.Restrict our numbers,even our hours, make everyone where appropriate face coverings, DON'T CLOSE!Gyms' are safe houses for everyone including the mentally and physically abused!'STAND UP 4 GYMS'
'STAND UP 4 GYMS'
Place relevant Gyms' on ESSENTIAL LIST as they are safe houses for all.
We care and want to protect our community and closing Gyms' will be detrimental to our community. Decisions like closing us will set everyone's mental health back if not worse.
Does the Government want the 'BLOOD ON THERE HANDS'! I'm scared for our nation if they do not have these 'SAFE HOUSES' to protect them.
Sign our partition and if Government wants proof of my statement then I will provide many!
