Re assess the gym/fitness studio closure during lockdown periods

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To re think the social impact of the closure of fitness suites, gyms and martial arts premises. This needs to be done if you assess the impact on us as a society that is already highly in jeopardy in regards to mental and physical health

This needs to happen so the public have a sanctuary to enable maximum physical and mental wellbeing during this awful time. Obviously enforcing maximum sanitation and track and trace needs to be enforced. The gyms are needed by so many and for some the only safehaven available. The nhs is already under intense strain and the decision on gym closure will only intensify this. Please re consider.
