A member died at Orange Theory Fitness in Mission Park last Tuesday.
The man was found in the upstairs showers after suffering a heart attack. Members of staff assisted him until paramedics arrived.
Spokesman for Orange Theory, Gage Knox told AM1150 in an email “Staff are first aid trained, which includes operation of the on-site AED.”
An eye witness said a member of staff grabbed the defibrillator from the studio.
Paramedics did everything they could but were unable to resuscitate the man. The cause of death is unknown.
Gym owner, Kelly Waterhouse says the company extends its condolences to the family.
“When considering any form of exercise, it is best practice to consult a medical professional to ensure it is safe for you, based on any personal medical conditions and/or preexisting/existing injuries,” said Knox.
“Exercises can be adjusted to suit individual health and fitness needs.”
