Fitness 54 Indoor Spa in Peachtree City has been ordered to keep its spa closed after scoring 60 out of 100 on a recent state pool inspection, with inspectors citing unsafe water chemistry and several compliance problems. The June 11 inspection by the Georgia Department of Public Health found free chlorine below required levels, pH readings outside the 7.2–7.8 range, and elevated combined chlorine, among other issues. The closure applies to the facility at 1964 GA-54 until managers fix the problems and schedule a follow-up visit.
Inspector Flags Chemical Mix-ups, Paperwork Gaps, Access Issues
According to the inspection report, the spa racked up multiple violations: free chlorine under the 3 ppm minimum for spas, combined chlorine above the 0.4 ppm limit, and pH readings outside the acceptable 7.2–7.8 window. Inspectors also noted that there was no barrier blocking direct access from the locker rooms into the pool area, a floor return inlet was loose, and the facility did not have Certified Pool Operator documentation or daily water-testing logs available onsite. Those items, along with the 60-point score, are summarized in a recent report from The Georgia Gazette.
What State Rules Require
Per the Georgia Department of Public Health, spas must maintain a free chlorine level of at least 3 ppm, keep pH between 7.2 and 7.8, and hold combined chlorine below 0.4 ppm to ensure disinfection works effectively. The agency also requires a valid operating permit and a trained operator with current certification, along with written daily water-testing records kept at the facility. Operations that do not meet those standards have to correct violations before reopening to the public.
What Comes Next For The Club And Its Members
Fitness 54 will need to address each of the cited issues and request a reinspection before the spa can reopen, and the inspector’s notes specify that the spa must remain closed until chlorine levels are brought back into compliance. Members with scheduled classes or swim sessions are being advised to check directly with the club for the latest word on access and timing. The inspection findings and requirements for reopening are also outlined in the state inspection record maintained by the Georgia Department of Public Health.
