Where to Cancel
Home Club
Or by certified mail
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.
Cancel Your LA Fitness Membership
Follow these steps to cancel your LA Fitness membership in person. This is the most reliable method and works for all membership types.
01
Visit your home club
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.
02
Ask to speak with a manager
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.
03
Complete the cancellation form
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.
04
Get written confirmation
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.
05
Verify final billing
Check your bank or credit card statements to confirm no additional charges appear. LA Fitness typically processes cancellations within 1-2 billing cycles.
