Aging gracefully: Preventing falls

A vehicle drives near the side of the building of an LA Fitness gym, Thursday, April 19, 2018, in Secaucus, N.J. Employees of the LA Fitness wrongly accused a black member and his guest of not paying to work out and called police, prompting an apology from the company. A spokeswoman for Fitness International, parent company of LA Fitness, told The Associated Press that three employees directly involved in the incident are no longer with the company. Tshyrad Oates posted video Monday night of the incident at the club. It shows his unidentified friend, who is a club member, talking to club employees while several police officers look on. On his Facebook page, Oates, who was using a guest pass at the gym, wrote that he and his friend were asked to leave when an employee mistakenly contended the friend hadn't paid for his visit.
