A gym fanatic was left trapped under weights for 33 minutes while he waited for emergency services to free him.

The man, aged between 25 and 35, was working out at Snap Fitness in Spring Hill, Brisbane, Australia at 5:47 am on Thursday when he got into trouble.

Firefighters did not arrive until 6:20 am to rescue him, with paramedics arriving shortly afterward. It took six minutes to extract the man from under the weights.

By this point, the man was unconscious and required CPR.

He was taken to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in critical condition.

There were no staff at the 24-hour gym at the time and the man had to be helped by bystanders.
