Mental and physical health are vital considerations. Exempt gyms from closure.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Gyms have a virtually zero transmission rate. Consideration to be given to reopen gyms during lockdoen for the benefit of peoples mental and physical well being which will in turn alleviate further pressure being placed on a variety of NHS services

All stats confirm the benefits of keeping gyms open far outweigh the very limited disadvantages. Suicide is the largest single killer of men under 45. The government must consider the mental health aspects of their actions with equal importance to physical well being.
