Rejected petition Make gyms and fitness centre's an essential service.
Research online suggest that there is little to no risk of picking up Covid-19 in gyms supported by studies conducted by difference sources around the world. Gyms and Fitness centres are vital to mental health stability, and the health and wellbeing of individuals.
More details
Gyms and Fitness centres should be classed as an essential service providing they are compliant with covid guidelines. They are needed in order to maintain mental health stability and physical health in order to combat various illnesses including Covid-19. This will take less pressure of mental health and NHS services (which are currently overwhelmed) as well as give those that need this service to meet their needs.
