Closing Gyms during this pandemic is one of the stupidest things you can do.
Most people if they are feeling unwell wouldn't go too the gym.
fitness centres are key for ALOT of people struggling with mental health issues - people trying to better themselves or people just trying to live a healthy lifestyle, closing them down especially during trying times in my opinion is one of the wost things you can do, your taking away people routines, taking away probably one of the only things that gives that person or people joy, for some other than work its the only other place they go. We have already had to go through this once which i know effected many of us in a pretty negative way, its a bit of a kick too the face seeing other places remain open but closing something that means a lot to so many people.
The gyms are usually kept at a very high standard of cleanliness, it does not make sence to shut fitness centres or places of health and wellbeing down over places like pubs.
I'm making this petition because I feel very strongly that this is an awful decision, I don't know if it will go anywhere but I sure am becoming sick of being told by some entity that you can't do this or that because they think it's for the best while absolutely contradicting and prioritising other places or buisnesses.
