Tshyrad Oates
Oates, who was at the gym using a guest pass with a friend who is a member, said a manager at the gym called Secaucus police.
Tshyrad Oates, who posted the videos on his account, said he was visiting on a four-day guest pass Monday. "I've been a member here for at least eight years". "He felt racially profiled and embarrassed by the harassment of this LA Fitness employee in front of other members at the gym", Oates wrote. Oates reminded them he signed in with a guest pass and his friend was a member. Oates explained that he was working out under a guest pass and his friend was a long-time active member.
"We again started our workout and 10 mins later an LA Fitness manager told us to leave, we stated that we did not do anything wrong and have active current memberships".
Another video depicted the man being asked to stop filming by the gym manager.
A series of videos posted on Facebook this week shows that employees at an LA Fitness gym in Secaucus, New Jersey called the cops on a black member because they assumed he didn't pay to get in - and refused to back down even after learning he was a member. He also points out that he and Oates "are the only two black people in the gym".

The last video shows Oates' friend claiming his gym contract had been terminated on the spot, and a police officer on camera admits he didn't "have the answers" for why it was happening. The manager told them that they were banned from LA Fitness and the membership belonging to Oates' friend would be terminated. "But it's not criminal activity".
L.A. Fitness released a statement to apologize to its customers and reassure the public.
" ... Regrettably, our staff unnecessarily escalated the situation and called the police rather than work through it", the company wrote in an e-mailed statement. Clearly, this is a long time member with a current, valid membership.
"It's really upsetting because I come here on a regular basis and I've been treated very well here have had no problems at all, so I' m actually kind of surprised that happened here it's obviously something that we wouldn't want to happen anywhere", said one gym goer. "We have spoken to the member to apologize and assured him that he and his guests are welcome in our clubs at all times".
LA Fitness also announced that it is now "exploring potential training content and opportunities to better train our staff".
