During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. Millions of people go to gyms, pools, and fitness clubs every day to fight the effects of poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyles or to maintain their already conditioned bodies. This provides the perfect setting for injuries and possibly sudden cardiac arrest. Fitness centers are increasingly becoming aware of the need to have a properly trained staff, AEDs and other medical equipment to treat their patrons who may suffer a medical emergency while working out.

Contact Southeastern Emergency Equipment and see how to assist your fitness club or gym in developing a program to train skilled responders, develop comprehensive response plans and ensure quality medical equipment is on hand to possibly save the life of a co-worker.

"The proper screening of club clients, and a well-rehearsed emergency response plan, are both essential to a safe exercise environment. So, too, is the availability of, and the ability to use, appropriate medical equipment - principal among which is the automated external defibrillator (AED)."
