Man Collapses and Dies at Gym in Paphos

A 33-year-old man collapsed and died while working out at a gym in Paphos. The incident brought to the surface the issue of whether or not gyms should require customers to provide a doctor's certificate. The president of the gym owners' association, Kristi Panagiotou, stated that there is no legal obligation for such a certificate, but gyms usually complete a health questionnaire upon registration. It is also recommended that individuals undergo a stress test before starting exercise.
