The Illinois Department of Public Health has linked two confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease to the L.A. Fitness facility in Niles earlier this month.
Both people diagnosed with the bacterial pneumonia reported using the pool, steam room, hot tub, and showers at the gym during their exposure periods at the end of April.
LA Fitness voluntarily closed their pool, spa, showers, and steam room on May 5 when the IDPH discovered the link and informed the business. The final lab results confirmed Legionella pnemophila S2-14 was detected in samples collected from the facility’s hot tub. The hot tub and area surrounding it will remain closed until additional testing confirms that legionella is no longer detected.
