A person has died after a ‘medical emergency’ at a PureGym branch.
Members and staff had desperately tried to save the person when they fell ill yesterday morning at the firm’s Weston-super-Mare gym, in Somerset.
Other staff and members called for further assistance by activating the emergency red help point as they rushed to save the person.
Paramedics also quickly rushed to the gym but the member was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 24-hour PureGym branch closed following the incident with it reopening later that day at around 5pm.
