Re-open Gyms and leisure centres
Gyms and leisure centres provide people with a place to go. It isn’t just professional athletes; gyms can be an escape from mental health problems, overcoming fitness and health issues or even just a way of socialising.
How can parliament justify opening bars and clubs, restaurants and cafes but refuse to open the gyms? Why is it parliament is okay with thousands of individuals crowding a beach or not adhering to social distancing whilst protesting yet people that just want to work out, look after themselves and stay in shape are penalised?
