How to cancel LA Fitness

LA Fitness blocks online cancellation. Like Planet Fitness, you have to do it in person or by certified mail.

In person (recommended):

1. Go to your home club during front-desk hours
2. Ask for the cancellation form. Fill it out completely (member number, signature, date)
3. GET A SIGNED COPY of the form. The front-desk staff will sign and date it as proof of receipt. Photograph it before you leave.
4. Cancellation takes up to 14 days to process — your next billing cycle may still charge you if it falls within that window
5. Watch your bank statement for 60 days; LA Fitness has been known to continue billing past the cancellation date

By certified mail:

Address: Your specific home club's address (find it at lafitness.com → club finder) Send: A signed letter requesting cancellation, your name, member number, address. Use certified mail with return receipt so you have proof of delivery.

Annual fee gotcha: If your annual maintenance fee ($59) is within the 30-day billing window when you cancel, it'll still process. Time your cancellation 5+ days after the annual fee posts to avoid this.

Contract terms: If you signed a 12-month commitment, early termination triggers a fee (typically 1-2 months of remaining dues). The exceptions: doctor-certified medical condition, military deployment, or moving >25 miles from any LA Fitness.

Personal Training cancellation is separate from gym membership and has its own (often harsher) terms. Read your PT contract carefully — most require 30 days notice and have non-refundable session blocks.
