Open gyms during lockdown

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Gyms & leisure centres shouldn’t be closed, they need to be open

Gyms are very important, not only for physical health but mental health as well. Exercise releases endorphins & can help to strengthen the immune system. People have been going to gyms since July, sanitising equipment, staying apart from each other, they shouldn’t have to close when there’s no sufficient evidence of a rise since they opened.
