Timaru man, Steve Wills, might be the luckiest bloke in New Zealand after suffering from a stroke right next to two doctors and three nurses.
Mr Wills had a stroke during an early morning spin class.
Before the class he was feeling "as fit as a fiddle," said Mr Wills.
Steve's wife was his spin instructor that morning.
"It was pretty evident it was a stroke, the left side was totally not there," said Mandy Wills.
'We're so fortunate that two doctors were in there.
"Anyone having a stroke, it's absolutely time critical and so important you get the necessary help," said Mr Wills.
Mr Wills said he recieved lots of love from the people of Timaru.
In a way, Timaru had already shown their love by electing the two-term councillor for another term on Saturday.
