Keep the gyms open during The Lockdown

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

With the current pandemic that’s going mental health has never been so bad and it’s causing people’s mental health to deteriorate. Since the gyms re opened they have been safe and no transmission of the virus.
The virus hasn’t been transmitted in the gyms and no cases to date with 1.5 million entrances to PureGym since they reopened, they are a safe place for people. The gyms are safe space and are vital to keep people’s minds healthy and happy. It makes no sense to keep them shut as the gym keeps the mind healthy and your immune system strong. We need to fight this
