Yashoda Medicity Launches Gym Trainer Cardiac Response Initiative

Yashoda Medicity Launches Gym Trainer Cardiac Response Initiative

By Hariharan U

Published on October 1, 2026

Yashoda Medicity, Ghaziabad, has launched ‘Rep Se Rescue Tak – Train Hard. Respond Faster.’, a World Heart Day campaign focused on strengthening cardiac emergency preparedness across gyms and fitness facilities in Delhi-NCR.

The initiative brings together fitness professionals, cardiologists, emergency medicine specialists, paediatric cardiac experts and fitness influencers to address the need for faster recognition and response when a medical emergency occurs during exercise.

The campaign comes amid growing public attention around reports of sudden collapses and cardiac emergencies during or immediately after workouts. The issue has also featured in policy discussions, with Punjab issuing an advisory in 2025 focused on preventing sudden cardiac arrest among gym-goers and sportspersons, including recommendations related to medical screening, safer training practices and emergency response.

Against this backdrop, Yashoda Medicity has structured ‘Rep Se Rescue Tak’ around three areas, cardiac and fitness awareness, structured trainer certification, and hands-on emergency response training.

The campaign brings together Dr. P.N. Arora, Chairman and Managing Director, Yashoda Group of Hospitals; Dr. Sandeep Jain, Director and Head, Emergency Medicine and Trauma Care; Dr. Asit Khanna, Director, Interventional Cardiology; Dr. Manish Aggarwal, Director, Interventional Cardiology and Structural Heart; Dr. Dhirendar Singhania, Director, Interventional Cardiology; Dr. Rachit Saxena, Director and Unit Head, Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery; Dr. Gaurav Kumar, Senior Consultant, Pediatric Cardiology and CTVS; and Neeraj Pal, Fitness and Wellness Coach.

More than 70 fitness professionals across participating gyms have already completed the Yashoda Certified Gym & Trainer Initiative. The programme covers the recognition of a suspected cardiac arrest, activation of professional medical assistance, initiation of CPR and awareness of when an automated external defibrillator (AED) may be used.

The training combines expert instruction with live CPR demonstrations and hands-on simulations. Participants practise assessing an unresponsive person, beginning chest compressions and coordinating the response while waiting for professional medical assistance.

Dr. P.N. Arora, Chairman & Managing Director, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, said the initiative aims to bring cardiac preparedness beyond the hospital and into everyday fitness environments. He highlighted the importance of equipping trainers and fitness professionals with the knowledge and confidence to respond during the crucial first minutes of an emergency.

Dr. Asit Khanna, Director, Interventional Cardiology, Yashoda Medicity, said fitness professionals are often among the people closest to an individual when an emergency occurs. He emphasised the importance of recognising a suspected cardiac arrest, activating medical assistance and beginning an appropriate response while professional care is on the way.

The campaign also extends its outreach through fitness and community influencers across Delhi-NCR. The initiative aims to bring conversations around heart health, responsible exercise and emergency preparedness into everyday fitness spaces.

Through ‘Rep Se Rescue Tak – Train Hard. Respond Faster.’, Yashoda Medicity is positioning cardiac preparedness as part of the broader fitness conversation, with the certification programme focused on helping participating gyms and trainers develop basic emergency response capabilities.

Speaking at the launch, Yasmin Karachiwala said, “We are delighted to partner with Muscle Bar to bring YKBI to Pune and make Pilates more accessible to the community in this city. What makes it so effective is its versatility. It can benefit everyone from children to senior citizens, from desk-job professionals to homemakers and elite athletes. Pilates is not about how much you can do, but how well you can move. It builds strength with control, improves mobility and creates a deeper understanding of your body. I have seen how the right Pilates practice can transform the way we train and recover.”

Murtaza Fakhruddin Nasir, Co-founder of Musclebar and Musclebar sports club, said, “When we started Musclebar in 2019, our focus was building an Open air gym with calisthenics and functional fitness as prime focus. Over the years, our vision has evolved into a space where people can find different forms of training and recovery patterns. Pilates was a very natural addition to that vision, and partnering with Yasmin Karachiwala’s Body Image allows us to bring it to Sopanbaug with the right expertise and experience. For us, this launch is another step towards building a complete fitness ecosystem for everyone, regardless of their age, fitness level or preferred way of training.”

YKBI Pune offers a range of Pilates sessions, including mat, reformer, chair, tower, mixed equipment and small equipment classes. The studio is equipped with Reformers, Chairs and Towers, along with equipment such as magic circles, strength straps, power pods and booty bands. Sessions are recommended based on what can benefit each client.

As an introductory offer, YKBI Pune is offering a single session, four sessions, valid for 10 days, and seven sessions, valid for 20 days.

Through its partnership with Muscle Bar, YKBI Pune brings Pilates and calisthenics together, giving Pune’s fitness community an opportunity to explore strength, control, mobility and body awareness through different training methods.
