Move gyms to essential services to help assist mental and physical health

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Move gyms to essential services so people can train and keep fit in winter during the lockdown. It will help fight key issues like obesity and mental health of the nation. Not forgetting assisting the health and fitness industry.

If elite sports are allowed to carry on its the basic right for anyone who wants to keep fit. Going out for a run / cycle in winter is just not an option for a lot of people.
