Make gyms essential during lockdown
The Issue
I am starting this petition because glasgow and other areas around the country have been administered into tier 4 starting Friday for 3 weeks.
The gyms are the cleanest place since they were allowed to open back up, now they are closing their doors again. The gym isn't just a place where people go for an hour and call it quites. Its a place where we relieve our stress, feel good about ourselves and start or end our day on a good note. No matter how bad our day is the moment we step foot in that gym we are at home.
Now we are being told that it isn't essential to keep open. I have been jobless for 3 months since I started school and for the last two months the gyms being open has been my saving grace. It helps our mental health, it is proven to increase dopamine in your system and is just as important as eating or taking a bath. Any excercise is good for you but we can't do it in the comfort of our homes not where we sleep eat and watch TV with our family, that creates a stressful environment and truthfully we don't have the money to spend on what we need. I'm asking the Scottish government to consider a basis to where the gyms can stay open and we can workout instead of a dip in all of our mental health. Please snp let us workout.
