Move Gyms To Essential Services during Lockdown
We are calling on the British Government to deem gyms as an essential service for the mental and physical wellbeing of the population of this country.
Mental health in the UK is one of the worst in Europe. People need the gym as an outlet for stress, anxiety and depression.
If we were to go into another lockdown, gyms closing would affect many people mentally and physically and cause long-lasting effects for people, families and their loved ones.
Please support us by signing this petition so we can bring it to the government to get them to deem gyms an essential service.
