Overview
- State health officials report 14 recent Legionnaires’ cases in Central Florida with documented gym exposure.
- An environmental assessment was completed, water and swab samples were sent to the state lab, and a regulatory inspection led to the spa’s closure for violations.
- Authorities have not publicly identified the gym, though local reporting and patron accounts point to a Crunch Fitness location in Ocoee.
- Crunch says it has not received formal notice linking its site to the illnesses and says it is cooperating as parts of the facility remain open.
- Health officials emphasize the disease does not spread person-to-person, and county data show 59 confirmed cases this year, up from 48 in 2024.
