Keep the Gyms Open!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

All Gyms are COViD secure. There is no evidence provided that cases increased in gyms. Keep them open under COVID secure measures and allow people to keep both mind and body healthy

As we go into the next Lockdown and the guidance is that we can exercise outside. It was OK when it was warm and lighter for longer. Now its dark and cold and the gym offers the respite from all of this and contributes to both mental and health wellbeing. Taking this away means you are making mental health worse
