Keep gyms open during lockdown as they are essential.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Class gyms as essential so they may remain open during lockdown.

Gyms ARE essential. Not just for physical health but for mental health. There is very little to no scientific evidence that gyms cause more infections that a walk around the shop to get your milk.
