When someone suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts. Without quick CPR and a defibrillator, survival drops by about 10% each minute. Yet many gyms and fitness centers across the UK still do not have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). These are places where cardiac emergencies can happen without warning.
That’s why Defib Supplies is proud to partner with the JE3 Foundation and Independent Gyms UK and Ireland. We aim to make lifesaving equipment easier to access. We also support an important cause.
Why Every Gym Needs a Defibrillator
Exercise is one of the best ways to improve heart health.
But intense activity can sometimes trigger an underlying heart condition.
That condition may have gone undiagnosed. Sudden cardiac arrest can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
According to the Resuscitation Council UK:
- Around 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the UK each year.
- Fewer than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
- Early CPR combined with the use of a defibrillator can more than double a person’s chance of survival.
Having an AED on-site means staff and bystanders can act at once. They can help while waiting for emergency services to arrive. Engineers design modern defibrillators for anyone to use. These devices give clear voice and visual prompts during the rescue.
Supporting the JE3 Foundation
This campaign is about much more than supplying defibrillators.
For each Progetti Rescue SAM 4.0 bought through this exclusive offer, £50 will go to the JE3 Foundation. This donation will support its work to improve public access to defibrillators. It will also help raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest.
The campaign also supports the Foundation’s Justin’s Law initiative. It calls for mandatory defibrillators in all UK health and sports facilities. It’s a campaign based on the belief that no one should die because lifesaving equipment was not available when needed most.
An Exclusive Offer for Independent Gyms
As part of this partnership, members of the Independent Gyms network can buy the Progetti Rescue SAM 4.0.

The offer includes:

This gives gym owners a chance to improve member safety and support a charity that helps save lives.
Be Prepared Before an Emergency Happens
No one expects a cardiac arrest to happen in their gym. But preparation could make all the difference when it does.
Installing a defibrillator, ensuring staff know its location, and promoting CPR and AED awareness are simple steps. These steps can help create a safer environment for members, staff, and visitors alike.
Together with the JE3 Foundation and Independent Gyms UK & Ireland, we’re helping more gyms become rescue ready. When every minute matters, having a defibrillator nearby can help save a life.
