PARKERSBURG, W.Va.-(WTAP) Five individuals who saved a man's life earlier this year were all honored Friday at a local fitness center.

Two employees and three customers of Planet Fitness in Gihon Plaza saved the life of Neil Hickey, after Hickey suffered a seizure.

Hickey joined Parkersburg Mayor Tom Joyce, Fire Chief Jason Matthew, and the fitness center's manager in honoring them with the American Heart Association's "Heart Saver" award.

Hickey recalled for us what happened that day.

"I remember coming to an area across from us, sitting down on a chair, and that's the last thing I remember. They showed me the video of it afterwards, and I'm (leaning to one side) as I'm falling out of the chair."

"The employees called 911 and got the fire department and the ambulance on the way," said Pvt. Jody Ludwig, an EMT for the fire department. "The bystanders were able to administer CPR and get the AED ready, and made our job and life a lot easier."

Hickey went through several months of therapy, but we're happy to report he's back on his normal exercise routine.
