L.A. Fitness fires 3 workers after black men get kicked out of N.J. gym

L.A. Fitness has fired a manager and two employees at a New Jersey gym where two black men were kicked out Monday night in an incident captured on video and shared on social media, according to a salesman there.

An employee who answered the phone at L.A. Fitness in Secaucus told NJ Advance Media the manager who appeared in the video recorded by one of the men has been "removed from the company."

The employee, a salesman who would only give his first name Josos, also said two women who were working that evening and badgered the men are no longer employees.

"I know the incident was really bad," said Josos. He said L.A. Fitness has apologized to one of the men.
