LA Fitness member claims club hot tub gave him a disease – New York Post

A Long Island man filed a $2.5 million suit against gym chain LA Fitness Monday, claiming a dip in one of their hot tubs left him battling Legionnaires disease.

LA Fitness member Earl Stewart says he was hospitalized for a week with the aggressive form of pneumonia after lounging around the spa area of the Garden City Park LA Fitness branch in Nov. 2016, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

The Deer Park resident says he remains sick and disabled, following his innocent use of the facilities.

After Stewart was diagnosed, the Nassau County Department of Health descended on the fitness center, and discovered it was crawling with legionellathe bacteria that causes Legionnairesforcing health inspectors to shut down the spa, jacuzzi, and pool indefinitely, the complaint states.

It remained unclear if the facilities had re-opened, as an employee from the Garden City Park branch hung up on a Post reporter.

Stewarts attorney did not return a message.
