Cardiac emergencies can happen anywhere, but fitness facilities present an especially important environment for CPR and AED preparedness because members are actively exercising and elevating their heart rates.
Illinois law requires qualifying physical fitness facilities to have at least one AED and have a trained AED user on staff during staffed business hours.
Illinois law also requires covered physical fitness centers to have at least one person on the premises during staffed hours who holds a valid CPR certification.
Chicago CPR Academy provides on-site CPR and AED certification for gyms, health clubs, CrossFit facilities, personal training studios and fitness centers throughout Chicagoland.
Training can include:
