Rejected petition Consider keeping gyms open during this next lockdown.

Please consider keeping gyms open during the lockdown to keep the general population healthy both in mind and body.

If gyms can’t be kept open, please can you consider offering access to grants for the leisure sector as you have done for retail and hospitality.

More details

Please provide support to ensure there are fitness facilities accessible to the public after the pandemic is over. Without government support during these tough times gyms will struggle to meet over heads.

Gyms have considerable overheads because of our size and there has been no government support provided.

Please address the immediate requirement for our industry to fight through the pandemic.
