Celebrity Trainer, 48, Dies Suddenly at Gym

An international champion bodybuilder and celebrity workout trainer in Mexico suffered a sudden heart attack after a workout. At only 48 years old, Einar Méndez was pronounced dead after the emergency on September 4 at a gym in Mexico City. Although the bodybuilder collapsed, an official cause of death hasn’t been released. The father of three was about to go see the Miami Dolphins and visit New York for the first time in his life soon after his death, according to Monday’s Instagram update from his wife, Yan. “We are all still in shock. He left suddenly… doing what he loved most: working out,” his widow said in a video. Méndez’s Instagram account had almost 47,000 followers, and his clientele included popular Nicaraguan broadcast host Martha Debayle on W Radio, who also posted about her late trainer. “I know there won’t be a single day I train that I don’t think of you. I’ll remember our talks. Your scoldings. Your messages reminding me that we were training that day. The laughter while you stretched me and I swore. The way you pushed me when I swore I couldn’t go on.”
