There are also paramedics and a professional cardiologist on site at all times.
A new fitness class has been named the toughest in the world - with doctors and paramedics on hand
in case anyone can't handle the intense pace.
London gym chain Gymbox launched its newest class called Flatline at its site in Farringdon,
north London.
It is said to be so tough and potentially deadly that participants need to sign a disclaimer beforehand
and fill in an organ donor form.
A compulsory oxygen station has been installed as part of the cool-down.

Curated by experienced Gymbox trainers and leading endurance experts, the class tests all elements
of strength and stamina over a 45-minute period – the longest recommended time for a gym class
of this intensity.
Participants wear a 12kg weighted vest as they work their way through a grid of activities including
kettle bell thrusts, atlas stone throws, weighted rope climbs and box jump burpees. The class
concludes with a 45-metre sprint while carrying two ammo cans.
Flatlineis said to be the most dangerous class in the world.
David Cooper, director of Gymbox, said: “Flatline comes with a significant warning: do not even
think about this class if you are unsure in any way about the ability of your body to be pushed to its
absolute maximum physical limits, and probably some way beyond. A lot of Gymbox members have
said to us that their dream is to have a body to die for. With Flatline that will be a lot closer than some
people think.”
The class tests all elements of strength and stamina.
Flatline is available. It opens on 14th November.
