A man who became suddenly sick at the gym on Monday has died despite the emergency service’s best efforts to keep him alive. An emergency crew and an air ambulance scrambled to the Glaslyn Byw’n lach centre in north-west Wales upon reports of a man falling ill at the leisure centre. Despite the greatest efforts of medical personnel and staff, the man tragically died.

The leisure centre released a statement online following the incident, saying: “We can confirm that a member of the public was taken ill at the Glaslyn Byw’n Iach Centre, Porthmadog, last night.

“Byw’n Iach staff and the emergency services administered first aid immediately, but he sadly passed away.

“Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this very sad time and we are grateful to the centre’s staff, the emergency services and the air ambulance for their quick and professional response.”

The leisure centre remained closed on Tuesday “as a mark of respect”. On Tuesday evening, the gym announced staff would return to work on reduced hours for the remainder of the week, reopening at 8.30 am on Monday and closing at 5.30 pm daily through Friday.

They added: “The centre will open according to the usual timetable from Saturday, February 25, onwards. Thank you very much for your patience.”
