First aid training isn't necessary for fitness center staff because it's more important to rely on professional paramedics.

False... This is a very false way of thinking, and a very dangerous way of thinking as well. Many people exercise because of the benefits you see for ones health, however there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Cardiac Arrest, possible collapses, dehydration, overexertion, exercise induced asthma, or exacerbation of asthma and COPD. There also a lot of ways to get injured....

This is why first aid is an inherent must for any staff member of a fitness organization. You can't merely standby for such things as cardiac arrest to be treated by EMS.... Every minute counts.

I'm assuming this is true or false. If so the answer is false.
