Rejected petition Keep gyms open in Tier 4 to prevent a national mental health crisis

Please keep gyms open for those in need.

More details

The benefits of regular exercise is invaluable to the prevention of mental health issues developed during a long period of lockdown. During winter months it becomes increasingly difficult for people to consistently exercise outdoors. Closing indoor fitness facilities is extremely detrimental to those in need of exercise but struggle to find a suitable outdoor exercise. Indoor exercise is not often possible for those living in flats due to noise, lack of space and vibration due to jumping.
