What the petition asks

Keep gyms and leisure facilities open during any form of lock down due to COVID and classify them as essential.

Fitness & leisure sector reports COVID rate of 0.34 per 100,000 visits since reopening in England. Mental Health rates are at an all time high. It is essential for us to stay healthy, physically & mentally. The government should consider gyms to be essential & low risk & keep them open.
