Wigan man thanks Robin Park gym staff for saving his life after cardiac arrest

Last week, it was lovely to visit Robin Park Leisure Centre as a local resident thanked quick-thinking staff at for saving his life after he suffered a heart attack at the gym.

Paul Sutton, 59, had just finished a 5k run at the council-owned Be Well facility when he collapsed to the floor.

Quickly spotting the signs of cardiac arrest, highly-trained instructors performed three rounds of CPR and administered one shock with the on-site defibrillator – earning the praise of paramedics who rushed Paul to Manchester Royal Infirmary for surgery.

Happily, he survived and, three months on, he returned to the gym to thank staff in person for saving his life.
