Petition Action

Reopen gyms for physical and mental health during a second lockdown.

Petition Details

Gyms should reopen in light of a second lockdown in England. They have been scientifically proven to be extremely safe and the vast majority of members are fit, young and healthy individuals who are at very little risk to the virus.

Additional Information

With gyms closing, the government faces an incredibly dangerous wave of obesity, cardiovascular and mental health issues that far outweigh the negatives of coronavirus.
