Marissa Woods said she and her sister, Rosario, were running on the treadmill. It’s something they did nearly every day.
“She tried to slow the machine down. I thought maybe she just missed a step. She just collapsed, [and] hit her head on the machine,” said Woods.
She said that Rosario lost consciousness after hitting her head on the front of the machine and falling off. Woods said she yelled for help.She said while other gym-goers jumped in to help, employees at the center didn’t.Our request to interview LA Fitness was declined.“A mother first. Always everything she did was for kids. She worked so hard for kids,” said Woods.
But amid the family’s grief, they say they’ve also found some peace. Rosario was an organ donor and doctors informed them that her donation would help save five lives. “Five people, literally like right now! She’s saving lives. How big can your heart be to still be saving lives?” said Woods. “Just think, somebody’s walking around…with her big heart. They don’t even know what heart they’re about to get.”
