It was a normal workout at the gym for Danny Albanese. But, not long after arriving, he found himself waking up surrounded by strangers and being carried out on a stretcher.
Danny, 63, had been doing a mobility workout at his local PureGym when he collapsed. He later learned his heart had stopped three times and if it hadn't had been for one quick-thinking member of staff, he probably wouldn't have made it, reports the M.E.N.
Danny, who is retired, said: “I have always been an active person before the incident. I felt I had a good level of fitness for somebody of my age and attended the gym five to six times a week.
