Keep gyms open during lockdown, they are essential for mental & physical health
Deem gyms essential and allow them to remain open during lockdown
Going to the gym is essential for the mental and physical health of individuals. Gyms should be classed as essential and not forced to close during lockdown. It is more important than ever to allow people to focus on improving their mind and body through exercise in gyms, especially during the winter months when exercise outdoors is limited. Working full time leaves people little time to exercise in the daylight (if at all) during the winter months.
