Wilmslow Leisure Centre is set to benefit from a welcome donation from the ambulance service.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has given 19 AED (automated external defibrillator) units to Cheshire East Council.
One of which will be located at Wilmslow Leisure Centre and will be on hand should any medical emergencies arise in the building.
Councillor Peter Mason, Cabinet member with responsibility for procurement and shared services, said: "I very much welcome this donation from the ambulance service. Defibrillators are an essential tool in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac episodes.
"Our health and safety team has placed them in buildings where there is higher footfall and also where cardiac rehabilitation programmes are already running.
"We have staff members based in these buildings who are trained in the use of this equipment and will be on hand to treat any patients in the event of emergency."
Defibrillators can save lives by providing an electric shock through the chest wall to restart the heart, in some cases of cardiac arrest.
When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, they lose consciousness almost at once. There are no other signs of life such as normal breathing.
Community resuscitation manager at NWAS, Rob Hussey said: "None of us know who will suffer a cardiac arrest or when it will happen. What we do know is that when such a life threatening situation occurs, a speedy response is crucial.
"Defibrillation within the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest can dramatically increase the survival chances of the victim and prevent long term damage to vital organs.
"We would like to see defibrillators in as many places as possible and therefore, we are very pleased to be working with Cheshire East Council to equip their leisure centres with life-saving equipment.
"Hopefully, they'll never need to use the defibrillators, but the public should be assured that there are people who know how to help should the most extreme emergency occur."
Other places to benefit from the equipment include Macclesfield, Congleton, Knutsford, Alsager, Sandbach, Poynton, Shavington, Holmes Chapel and Middlewich leisure centres.
