Safety Programs for Clubs
Athletic and fitness club members push themselves to be more fit, elevating heart rates, blood pressure and breathing. Physical demands of exercise can also increase the likelihood of a serious medical emergency, such as a heart attack, stroke or even sudden cardiac arrest when the heart stops working all together. The risk is even higher for older adults or those less physically fit.
Professional trainers know the difference between a member struggling, pushing it outside their comfort zone, or when they are having a problem. They also know an increasing number of their members are older, have had a serious medical problem in the past, and must be closely monitored. Constant turnover of members and staff throughout each day, each week and each season pose an additional challenge to staff responsible for member safety.
ClubSafe’s Athletic and Fitness Club Program will prepare your staff and organization to effectively manage any medical emergency regardless of its nature, time of day or location at the club. More than CPR training and an AED on the wall, this custom designed program organizes your staff into a team with uniform response procedures, training, appropriate equipment, quality controls and confidence.
The result is a professional, comprehensive and proven club-wide safety program designed specifically for Athletic and Fitness Clubs. It will save lives.

As a Fitness Director and Certified Athletic Trainer, I understand the importance of having a professional, simple and thorough Emergency Procedure Plan. The safety of our 3,000 adult members and 1,000 child members is of the utmost importance to our business. ClubSafe has taken our initial Emergency Procedure Plan and taken it to a level we could not have done ourselves. Not only has this professionally tailored plan given our staff reassurance on what to do in the event of an emergency on any aspect of our 85 acre property, but also it has given our membership the confidence that in the event of an emergency they are safe and in good hands with our professionally trained staff.

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and privacy: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
