In light of a recent event, I have realized the dangers that health club members across the United States face on a daily bases. On November 7th, 2005 a man by the name of Gary Fowler died of a heart attack right in front of my eyes while he was exercising at a health club in Gaithersburg Maryland. He grabbed his chest and collapsed on to the floor, his face turning purple. Shockingly, no one on staff was able to perform CPR or administer first aid. Sadly, by the time the paramedics arrived, it was too late. To learn more about the events surrounding this story please visit:

It consists of an article written by Andrew Moisan, a staff writer at the Gaithersburg Gazette.

I have done a great deal of research on this topic and have quickly realized that there are no governmental requirements or regulations in place to oversee the safety of health club members and guests. I am asking you to please sign my petition to have our government adopt new regulations for health clubs which will require that they provide safety and first aid to health club members and guests in the case of an emergency. I do not know the solution because I am not a professional, but there are people who know what needs to be done. So please sign this petition with your full name and pass this website on to anyone you know. You might just help save a life.

Thank you,
Yelena Surikova

Do not forget, faulty equipment also leads to accidents and death and these are not regularily checked.

My health club basketball court is a dirty slippery floor where I have seen many injuries from slipping on the dirty floor.

I work in emergency medicine and work out in a gym near my home; I have approached them about free available AED's. They don't feel they're "Necessary".The only way to combat this ignorance is legislated education and tools
