Cut VAT on health and fitness services including personal training, gyms and any activities which will protect, preserve and enhance physical, mental and emotional health, thus relieving the burden on the NHS caused by obesity. This reduction in cost makes exercise much more affordable.

Mortality rises with these underlying conditions, Stress and Mental health problems increased during lockdowns improve with exercise. Fitness is a vital essential industry.
