There are a few different ways to cancel LA Fitness, and the right one depends on your membership type and state laws. This guide covers cancellation through in-person visits, certified mail, and phone calls where available.
LA Fitness requires cancellation in person at your home club or by certified mail — you can't cancel online or through the app. Some states allow phone cancellation, but most members need to visit their gym or send written notice.
Follow these steps to cancel your LA Fitness membership in person. This is the most reliable method and works for all membership types.
Go to the LA Fitness location where you originally signed up (your home club). Bring a valid photo ID and be prepared to wait — cancellations can take time during busy hours.
Tell the front desk staff you want to cancel your membership. They'll likely direct you to speak with a manager or membership advisor who handles cancellations.
Fill out their membership cancellation form with your personal information and membership details. The staff may ask about your reason for cancelling or offer alternatives.
Request a cancellation confirmation receipt with the effective date. Keep this document — it's your proof that you cancelled and protects you from future billing disputes.
Check your bank or credit card statements to confirm no additional charges appear. LA Fitness typically processes cancellations within 1-2 billing cycles.
LA Fitness memberships have some unique billing and cancellation policies that might affect your cancellation timing.
These details can affect your cancellation timing and whether it goes through properly.
Look for any minimum commitment period in your original contract. Some LA Fitness memberships have 12-month commitments with early termination fees if you cancel before the term ends.
If your annual membership fee is due soon, try to cancel before it processes. LA Fitness typically won't refund annual fees once charged, even if you cancel immediately after.
You'll need a government-issued photo ID that matches your membership account. Without proper ID, LA Fitness staff cannot process your cancellation request.
If cost is your main concern, you might be able to pause your membership or switch to a basic plan instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't visit your home club in person, certified mail is your most reliable alternative option.
Some states allow phone cancellations, but this varies by location and membership type.
Contact your home club directly as phone cancellation policies vary by state and location.
Send your cancellation request via certified mail if you can't visit your home club in person.
Check with your home club for their specific mailing address, as it varies by location. Include your full name, membership number, and cancellation request.
