Rejected petition Open Scottish gyms before September

We want Scottish gyms opened before the initial review on August 20th. This is vital for people’s mental health and it is ridiculous that indoor bars or restaurants have been allowed to open with no PPE when English social distancing is working inside current gyms.

More details

Indoor physical fitness is vital for the large amount of people who haven’t been exercising indoor or outdoor as it may not suit goals etc but mental health will be deteriorating while on lockdown and gyms have been an escape for a large amount of people. We want gyms open before the review on August 20th for Scottish indoor gyms.
