Inspection summary

LA Fitness Newcastle - Aquatic Common Area has been inspected 15 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 30, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 13, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

3 of 15 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Food temperature control.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.

  • Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

    For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

    Recorded 17 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool premises (Non-Critical)?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example: Is the pool premises maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.

    Recorded 14 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2025. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
