To keep the gym’s open during November’s lockdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the government to not close the gym’s down during November’s 4 week lockdown
We want the government to keep the gyms open not only to keep as fit and active during lockdown but also for the mental health of the country too

Boris has even stated that we have become obese as a nation as a result of these lockdown measures and mental health cases have skyrocketed as well

Keeping the gyms open will save people from a mental breakdown
