Inspection summary

LA Fitness Sunwapta - Whirlpool has been inspected 29 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 14, 2023. The most recent inspection, on June 1, 2026, found no infractions.

9 of 29 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 7 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 20 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on May 25, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

    Recorded 8 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on October 22, 2025. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (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 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on October 24, 2025. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
