Sometimes the smallest classes make the biggest impression! 💪

Instructor Daniel had just ONE student join him for this Labor Day BLS class—and she absolutely CRUSHED it! 👏 Her CPR form was some of the best he’s seen, and she showed the kind of confidence, technique, and natural ability that makes you think… Instructor material! 👀🦸‍♀️

✨TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT ✨

🦸 Meet the Hero Behind the Heart: Mikal Richards!

Mikal is passionate about helping people discover that they are capable of doing extraordinary things when someone else's life is on the line. As a SuperHeroCPR instructor, Mikal brings a calm, encouraging presence to class and loves knowing that the skills shared today could help someone save a life tomorrow.

✨ Superpower: Healing with just one touch! ❤️ (Honestly, that's a pretty perfect superhero power for a CPR instructor!)

🍫 Favorite Snack: CHOCOLATE. Obviously. 😂

📚 When Off Duty: You'll find Mikal reading and collecting books. And we're talking *serious* book love...

📖 Fun Fact: Mikal loves reading so much that one day they hope to open their own bookstore—so they can be surrounded by books every single day! We fully support this superhero dream. 🥹📚

❤️ Why Mikal Teaches: "I love knowing that I have given someone the knowledge to be prepared and the confidence to do what needs to be done."

🦸 What Mikal Hopes Every Student Learns: "That they have the confidence and capability to know how to save someone's life."

At SuperHeroCPR, we don't just want you to know what to do—we want you to believe that you can actually do it. Mikal is helping students build that confidence one class at a time, because when an emergency happens, knowledge paired with confidence can turn an ordinary person into someone's hero. ❤️🦸
❤️‍🩹💪🏾 THESE LADIES CAME READY TO BE SUPER CHAMPS! 🦸‍♀️

These amazing women came to class with one simple goal: to know what to do if someone around them went into cardiac arrest.

And they absolutely CRUSHED it! 👏👏

They practiced, they learned, they asked questions, and they performed their skills like true SUPER CHAMPS! 🏆❤️

You don't have to be a healthcare professional to make a difference in an emergency. Sometimes, you just need the willingness to learn and the confidence to step in.

We are SO proud of this group for choosing to be prepared! ❤️

Know what to do. Have the confidence to act. Be someone's superhero. 🦸‍♀️🚨

Martha González
🏈 Damar Hamlin’s story is a powerful reminder that cardiac arrest can happen ANYWHERE — even on an NFL football field.

During a game in January 2023, Damar Hamlin suffered commotio cordis, a rare cardiac arrest caused by a sudden impact to the chest that disrupts the heart’s rhythm.

In that moment, there was no time to panic. No time to wonder, “What am I supposed to do?”

There was only time to ACT.

❤️‍🩹 Recognize cardiac arrest.
📞 Call 911.
💪 Start CPR.
⚡ Get an AED and use it as quickly as possible.

Thankfully, Damar received immediate care — including CPR and defibrillation — and survived.

And THAT is why we teach CPR.

When you book a class with SuperHeroCPR, we don’t just want you to walk away with a certification card. We want you to walk away thinking:

“I KNOW WHAT TO DO.”

Because fear and hesitation are normal when something terrifying happens. Training helps replace that fear with confidence and muscle memory.

You don’t have to be a doctor.
You don’t have to be a nurse.
You don’t have to be a professional athlete.

You just need to know what to do — and be willing to do it.

You could be the person standing next to someone when their Damar Hamlin moment happens.

Be ready. Be confident. Be someone’s Superhero. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

🦸‍♂️❤️ ANOTHER SUPER DAD IN TRAINING! ❤️🦸‍♂️

This father of a 2-year-old wanted to make sure he was just as prepared as the women in his family to provide SuperHeroCPR care to his own child—and anyone else in the community who may need help. ❤️

And let’s just say… he came READY to learn! 💪

🏆 100% on his exam!
👏 Performed his patient assessment like a veteran!
❤️ Gained the skills and confidence to step up when it matters most.

We love seeing parents take the time to learn these lifesaving skills. You never know when an emergency may happen, but being prepared can make all the difference.

Congratulations to this Super Dad on a job VERY well done! 🦸‍♂️🚨

Prepared for his family. Ready for his community. Officially a SuperHero! ❤️
