Almost free actions on simply-connected spaces

Let $G$ be a simply-connected compact topological group (you can think of $SU(n)$ if you like it more concrete), and let $X$ be a finite-dimensional simply-connected $G$-CW-complex. If we know that all the isotropy groups are finite, does this imply they are trivial? And if not, are they at least bounded in size (in some sense)?
