Reclassify Gyms as essential and start a #WorkOutToHelpOut Welsh Government Incentive.
Why this petition matters
The Welsh government have neglected their duties and not researched the negative affects this has had not just on Gym owners but Gym users as well. From the outside, the government and the media only tell how it affects the owners financially but in reality, the hit its taking on so many's mental health is not something that can just be ignored. At the recent demo in Cardiff, Voice Of Wales spoke to many people, a lot currently struggling, some who had attempted suicide and sadly some who knew people who had. Enough is enough, Gyms are vital to prevent a mental health pandemic in Wales. We hereby demand that Gyms are immediately reclassified as essential and the Welsh Government launch a #WorkOutToHelpOut incentive where the government subsidise 50% of a Gym Membership. Not only will this help struggling Gyms get back on their feet but also helps people getting back into the Gym who have fallen on hard times.
