More details

Simply asking for the government to follow the data, which suggests gyms are safe. They are essential to physical and mental health for many, especially those unable to workout at home, lacking equipment and guidance, and during the colder/wetter weather it’s harder and more dangerous for people to train outside. Gyms provide a safe, supportive, motivating, hygienic, specialist area for everybody to workout.
