Every Gym Needs an AED

Gyms are places where people push their physical limits, making them critical locations to be prepared for emergencies like sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on-site can save lives, delivering a lifesaving shock in those crucial first moments. AEDs are designed for easy use, with voice prompts that guide anyone—trained or not—through the rescue process.

Having an AED in your gym ensures a safer environment for everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes. The physical exertion involved in exercise can increase the risk of cardiac incidents, and a readily available AED allows staff or bystanders to respond immediately, significantly improving survival chances. The AEDSHOP recommends the ZOLL AED Plus, which offers real-time CPR feedback, perfect for gym staff responding to emergencies. Another reliable option is the Philips Onsite AED, known for its intuitive operation and rugged build, making it ideal for fitness environments.

Choosing AEDSHOP, Canada’s largest and most experienced AED supplier, means more than just purchasing an AED.  The AEDSHOP provides comprehensive support through TrackMyAED, a software solution that tracks maintenance
