The pervasiveness of AEDs in public places have helped to increase a person's odds of surviving a cardiac arrest. If your gym doesn't have one, you should petition them to put one in.
It's also pretty common for someone to be combative when they wake up from a fainting episode or have suffered from a head injury.
