Health Club AED Requirements and Laws

Staying active can have many heart health benefits, but it's important to keep in mind the increase in risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) that exercise brings. Having an AED in health facilities like health clubs, gyms, or school workout facilities is crucial to save those who may go into SCA while lifting, jogging, or getting hit to the chest by a game ball such as a basketball or soccer ball.

There are already many states that have AED requirements and laws for health clubs, however we recommend all gyms invest in saving lives by having an AED on board in case of emergencies. Incorporating a life-saving device such as an AED can help keep your fitness members, athletes, and community safer. Check the list below to see if your state has any health club AED requirements or laws.
