Keep gyms open during the national lockdown

Petition Details

Keep all indoor gyms open during the new national lockdown and class them as essential.

Additional Information

Gyms are essential for people's physical and mental wellbeing, also, it may not be possible for people to excersize outside due to the cold, rainy weather of the winter months.

Furthermore, there is yet to be any evidence proving that indoor gyms cause the spread of the coronavirus as members follow strict guidelines to stay safe.
