Allow Gyms to remain open during the national lockdown measures
Allow gyms to remain open during the foreseeable future of lockdown measures. There has already been a very successful petition on the matter that has been seemingly ignored with the latest measures introduced. - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/333869
Gyms have been shown to account for a very small amount of infections, with one study showing the rate of infection to be as low as 0.99 cases per 100,000 visits since they reopened in July.
Gyms are crucial for both physical, and mental health. Especially during a period of time where our outside access is limited.
