Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/03/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems (called PERS) for independent seniors and individuals with chronic disabilities, has announced the introduction of a ground-breaking medical alert system geared toward the sports, health and fitness club communities throughout the United States. By offering such a system to clubs nationwide, the clear message is that safety protection for members is the ultimate club priority.
Scott Hazlewood, Managing Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "With the continued vertical growth of franchised sports, health and fitness clubs throughout America, First Response has created a personal emergency and medical alarm system that effectively monitors athletes and health-conscious individuals while they actively train or work-out within an expansive club-type environment. This serves as the best medical alarm system available today for club members that responds with local emergency assistance to an unexpected accident or physical injury at a moment's notice."
As these sports and fitness clubs serve as a hub for a variety of sports activities, workout regimens and exercise classes for both individuals and groups, monitoring these participants for sudden emergency events and medical accidents as a result of their intensive physical activity is critical and can be life-saving. For effective emergency monitoring and response, the medical alarm system and its' related devices can be worn by an individual and are also positioned strategically throughout a club facility, particularly in high-traffic and isolated work-out areas.
In the event of such an emergency or accident, a club member simply presses their personal panic alert button, worn as a medical alert necklace or bracelet, where the user can then communicate with a First Response certified, live operator over a 2-way, voice activated speaker within their workout area or room. If needed, local emergency assistance responders can be dispatched (usually within minutes) to the club location. For added assurance, First Response also notifies club management amongst other pre-arranged client protocols.
Greg Ribaudo, Chief Technology Officer for First Response and its parent company First Alarm, Inc., further states, "Wireless technology has transformed the medical alarm industry where monitoring systems and personal alert devices now exist for clubs and their active members to enjoy exercise and workouts within a secure and safe environment during any hour of the day or night, and to do so with a tremendous sense of personal independence and peace-of-mind. Safety should always be top priority for club management and members alike."
Club operators have adopted to the emergency monitoring and response system concept vigorously and with high enthusiasm early on. The features and benefits to the club operator and its' management team are directly attributable to providing a unique VIP-type membership amenity (offered on a complimentary basis) that serves to monitor and protect its valued member clientele in the event of a sudden personal emergency, physical injury or medical accident within the confines of the club where immediate medical response on a 24/7 basis, is needed.
