How to cancel LA Fitness

Documented · ~35 min

  1. 01

    LA Fitness does not accept cancellations by phone or through a standard online account button for most memberships. Plan for written notice or an in person visit.

  2. 02

    Get the cancellation form: sign in to your online account and open Account Information, then Cancellation Form, and print it, or ask for the form at your club's front desk.

  3. 03

    Submit it one of two ways. In person: bring the completed form plus a photo ID and your member number to any club front desk. By mail: send the completed form by certified mail to P.O. Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619.

  4. 04

    Submit at least 30 days before your next billing date, since the notice period means one more charge can still post. Keep your certified mail receipt or a stamped copy of the form as proof.

  5. 05

    Note that LA Fitness cancellation practices are the subject of a 2025 FTC lawsuit, so an online option may appear for some accounts. If you do not see a reliable online confirmation, the written or in person route above is the documented method.

The real commitment here isn't the subscription, it's the $300-$500 ring itself. The subscription part is cheap and you can cancel it easily. Plus the first month's free with a new ring.

The $10–$25/mo headline is real, but Planet Fitness is the textbook anti-pattern TMC exists to warn about. The annual fee is the gotcha most people forget, and the certified-mail cancellation is genuinely the worst in fitness — we've seen people pay $25/mo for two years because they "kept meaning to drive over." If you're going to join, set a calendar alert four months out for the annual fee, and only ever sign up at the location you actually live near.

Quarterly billing is the gotcha here. Miss a cancellation and you're stuck paying for three months, not one. There's 15% off the first month, but no formal free trial.
