Allow Gyms to remain open during the second Lockdown.
Gyms facilitate and promote physical and mental health. They are essential for well being during the pandemic, second lockdown and any subsequent lockdowns. We are calling for the government to reopen gyms indefinitely with appropriate safeguarding measures in place.
Since the pandemic began, dozens of studies have reported that many of the sickest COVID-19 patients have been people with obesity. That link has come into sharper focus as large new population studies have cemented the association and demonstrated that even people who are merely overweight are at higher risk.
Further to this, exercise boosts the immune system, prevents obesity, reduces stress and anxiety and improves sleep. #WorkOutToHelpOut #ProtectTheNHS
