More details

Reconsider opening gyms in Tier 4 locations across Scotland. Our industry is the solution, not the problem. We fight against obesity, diabetes, CV diseases and also mental health which reduces the stress on our NHS. We as an industry are vital in the fight against this pandemic. We are essential. The governments data proves this showing 22 million gym visits and 78 confirmed cases, that's 1 case per 300,00 visits, whilst saving many lives in the process. There is no evidence to close gyms.
