Rejected petition Don't close the gyms in Wales! GYMS ARE ESSENTIAL!!!

Not only this month, but the next possible 2 and a half will be cold, wet and dark. Thus making it difficult to exercise outside.

More people will stay indoors with less people to interact with, this impacting on their mental health.

Gyms are not only somewhere for lifting weights and running, but also a place to feel good in yourself.

Keep the gyms open! please!
