About Us

Why we feel passionate about No VAT 4 Gyms

We are as passionate as you to campaign against the huge expense that VAT places upon gyms and health clubs across the UK. These businesses provide the ability to save the government money if only we could get their ear to listen.

The best way for us to get this huge business-crippling issue to the front door of No10 is to all join together and say "No VAT 4 Gyms". This is especially important with the forthcoming VAT rise from the 4th Jan 2011 to 20%.

The cost of physical inactivity in England has been estimated at £8.2 billion a year
