Gyms & martial arts should re-open ASAP

Fitness gyms & martial arts gyms should re-open ASAP. Etiquette from members can allow for a safe and clean environment where they can train to stay healthy mentally & physically

Why the contribution is important

The people that go to gyms are often the top 1% healthiest in the population, we need to keep people healthy by keeping gyms open. Lifting weights 3 times a week halves the risk of developing cancer, and even more so with other illnesses. You are more likely to do of obesity in Scotland than covid19. It is a win win for the government as they keep people healthy, and even if a virus spreads in the gyms, they will likely get over it quickly & build immunity, creating herd immunity in our society. If someone lives with a vulnerable person then it can be their choice to stay home. Suicide globally kills 800,000 a year, and going to the gym & training martial arts is a coping mechanism for millions. Let’s value all lives, and to keep society fit & healthy

    I would love the gyms to be reopened.. The health implications are immensely important for mental and physical health.

    For families with young children it has been very hard to get real exercise (pulse raising) during this lockdown. If you can only exercise once a day and also need to care for a child, you can only cycle or walk at ‘child speed’. That is not exercise. For many, this lockdown is the start of the health problems the government have always told us to exercise to avoid.

    open Gyms, but products to clean equipment after each use should be available
