Rejected petition ReOpen the gyms in UK during lockdown

The percentage of covid cases in gyms has been very low and to keep morale and fitness up during lockdown we need have these facilities open.

More details

This is not a new topic with over 500,000 people singing the previous petition. However government has closed the gyms yet again with people being able to use outside gyms , exercise places and Personal training outside to be open. These costs a lot of money and not feasible for most people. In order to keep our minds and bodies engaged to good health we need immediate opening of gyms.
