MoCo Highlight: Two Employees at Kensington’s Anytime Fitness Save Member Who Collapsed After Cardiac Arrest

By MCS Staff

Kevin “KP” Phipps and Lee Ventura were in the office of Anytime Fitness in Kensington while KP has a brief break in between clients around 4pm yesterday. That’s when they heard a noise that was different than the usual thud they were used to from weights dropping.

Both men ran to the gym floor, where a gym member informed them that another member had fallen from the machine he was working out on. KP immediately dove to the ground to check on the member, who was unresponsive. Lee called 911 and got the AED, which took about 30 seconds. In this time, the member (who was one of KP’s clients),  stopped breathing and turned purple so the men knew that they had to act fast.
