Effective July 1, 2007, all health clubs and health studios in California are required to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) program in place as required in the California Health and Safety Code, Section 104113.

"For the purpose of this law, health clubs and health studios mean any facility permitting the use of its facilities and equipment or access to its facilities and equipment to individuals or groups for physical exercise, body building, reducing, figure development, fitness training or any other similar purpose on a membership basis. Health clubs and health studios do not include any hotel or similar business that offers fitness facilities to its registered guest for a fee or as part of hotel charges."
