Danny Albanese opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by strangers. It took a few moments for him to realise he was being carried out of the gym on a stretcher.
The 63-year-old had not long arrived at PureGym in Gorton when he became unwell. He had been doing a mobility workout when he suddenly lost control of his body and collapsed.
The dad-of-one, from Denton, later learned his heart had stopped three times. And if it weren’t for the actions of one quick-thinking staff member, he would most likely be dead.
