COVID-19 severity is heightened by obesity, Heart disease and Type II diabetes. Mortality rises with these underlying conditions. Exercise can also help address Stress and Mental health problems. Fitness is a vital industry.

Reduced capacity due to COVID-19 has financially stressed the fitness industry. Every penny lost in VAT could save the NHS money & resources. The health and wellbeing of the population must improve to prevent a permanent health crisis the nation cannot afford.
