Make Gyms Essential!

The Issue

Hello all! We’ve been dealing with COVID-19 for a year now and keep going in and out of lockdowns. This means that our gyms like planet fitness, GoodLife fitness, performance 360, Crunch, and any other gym clubs are constantly having to close which then impacts everyone else’s lives. 

With this comes a lot of mental health problems and health problems in general for a lot of people who depend on the gyms to stay healthy. I know a lot of people go to a gym to improve their mental health and avoid bad decisions as it helps boost your self-esteem as well as a lot of other things. For some people, it’s their way to get away from other thoughts and feelings. 

I don’t know about you but I’m sick and tired of the gyms not being considered “essential” and constantly being shut down when so many people rely on them! We need to get our point across to the government that our gyms are considered “essential” to ALOT of people and that we CAN and DO social distance better and easier at a gym than we can at any store that you walk into. 

Why are restaurants open this time during code red but gyms are closed?!  

HELP MAKE GYMS ESSENTIAL SERVICES!!!!
