PureGym is committed to providing a safe place for everybody to work out and as part of our TrainSafe commitment, we have installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all of our gyms. AEDs can be lifesaving in a critical situation, which is why we believe they are as essential as any other piece of equipment in the gym.
