In an event of a spike in Covid-19 cases we are calling on local authorities to not close gyms as a measure to prevent the spread.

Our sector has worked tirelessly to adhere to government guidance with stricter hygiene and social distancing measures to keep everyone safe. There is no evidence to suggest that gyms and leisure facilities are a high-risk environment.
In fact, new research from industry body, ukactive, has found gyms are almost risk-free environments for COVID-19, with an estimated 0.020 positive cases per 10,000 gym visits.

Gyms and leisure facilities play a vital part in supporting physical fitness in our communities and exercise has proven to strengthen the immune system and boost mental health.

Petition: Prevent gyms closing due to a spike in Covid 19 cases In the event of a spike we would like you not to close gyms as a measure to stop any spread of Covid. Also for gyms to not be put in the same group as pubs in terms of risk or importance. Gyms are following strict guidelines and most members are following rules in a sober manner.

Did you know, that only 42% of teenage girls meet physical activity guidelines?

Now is the time to change their view of sport, by allowing them to discover the joy, fun and wellbeing benefits of exercise.

We’ve always been proud of our centres and we know that the key assurance you need to visit and enjoy your activity in a safe environment is for us to maintain and improve our standards to ensure we’re COVID secure.

In a recent interview, Professor Greg Whyte explains:

“This is a health crisis, and the role of the health and fitness sector is to enhance the health of the nation.
The sector has worked incredibly hard, incredibly diligently and spent an awful lot of money in making sure they’d adhered to the guidance.
Gyms and Leisure facilities already have an in-built track and trace system because every time you go to the gym, you have to book in – so the sector knows who’s in the building, how long they’re in the building for, and also has contact details for them if there is an issue”

Track and Trace is just one of the things we’re doing to keep you safe, click the link below to find out more:
