UK GYMS are unlikely to open until at least autumn after scientists deemed them one of the worst places for spreading coronavirus.
A source told The Sun that “gyms won’t be open any time soon. It won’t be sooner than autumn”.
They added that a further six months “is a reasonable timeframe”.
There are calls for some gyms to open for personal trainers, with social distancing and health and safety procedures in place.
PM Boris Johnson is expected to reveal his plan for relaxing lockdown on Sunday.
Unlimited exercise may be on the cards and some businesses may be allowed to resume activity.
