On the day that gyms reopen across England, Guardian journalist Iman Amrani looks at how Covid restrictions on training have impacted men and their mental health over the past month.
In this episode of Modern Masculinity, Iman focuses on community work on the ground, speaking to young men at Hackney Wick FC, in London. She also speaks to gym owner Nick Whitcombe in the Wirral, in the north-west of England – who has been campaigning for gyms to be considered an essential service – about his concerns if they were to be locked down again in the future
