Other gym members quickly rushed to her aid, attempting to revive her, but she remained unresponsive.
In the footage, a man is seen lifting her and placing her on the floor before the recording ends.

According to local reports, Soares had complained of a severe headache while working out and appeared to struggle with her breathing just moments before losing consciousness.
A gym instructor reportedly provided first aid while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
Soares was transported to a nearby hospital, but tragically, she was declared dead en route.
