Gyms: Poplar and Limehouse

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the sustainability of independent gyms in Poplar and Limehouse constituency.

Answer

The Government recognises the importance of gyms and leisure facilities, which are great spaces for people of all ages to stay fit and healthy, and play an important role within communities.

We would encourage independent gyms to engage with Sport England’s Moving Communities platform, which gathers data on the performance of leisure facilities and their contribution to getting communities active.
