Rejected petition Allow covid secure indoor exercise classes alongside gyms 12th April

Not allowing indoor exercise classes until the same time as indoor hospitality is a disgrace
Gym workouts aren’t accessible, appropriate or affordable for all & many achieve fitness by classes
Safe covid secure and socially distanced no more risk than individuals working in gyms in the same way

More details

Allowing exercise classes with limited numbers with appropriate measures in covid secure venues as with previous tier 2 rules from April 12th

Attending a class with no sharing of equipment, marked floor spaces, appropriate track and trace is as safe if not safer than gym workouts & should be included alongside gyms on the 12th April not in the same group as indoor pubs

Not everyone can afford expensive gym memberships or can achieve their goals for wellbeing and mental health in a gym
