Keep Gyms open during lockdown period and make them a part of Essential Business

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government need to keep gyms open regardless of a lockdown. Gyms are to be considered just as essential as supermarkets for food.

The virus has affected many individuals and thankfully a lot of our people have survived it. This is due to having a clean bill of health which is procured in a gym environment.

Gyms have proactively spaced out equipment to keep distance. The cleaning regimen, even by members, is so through, I could eat my dinner off the gym floor.

Just as much as we need schools to stay open for the future of our children, we need gyms to stay open for the future of our healths’.
