Navigating LA Fitness cancellation can indeed be tricky. Boasting more than 700 health clubs in the United States and Canada, LA Fitness club has earned its popularity with an extensive selection of cardio and strength equipment, group exercise classes, personal training, and other amenities all for a monthly fee of $40 to $50.
Signing up for LA Fitness' All Clubs Nationwide membership is a straightforward process. Regrettably, the same cannot be said for cancellation. The gym chain is infamous for making it challenging for users to cancel their memberships.

To assist you in this process, I've explored all possible ways to terminate your membership, and I even timed each method! This way, you can select the option that best fits your needs. Whether it's through your LA Fitness account, via an LA Fitness cancellation form, or by contacting LA Fitness customer service, we'll explore the quickest and most efficient ways to cancel your membership.
There are sadly very few ways to cancel your LA Fitness membership. The two options are in-person or mailing in a cancellation form. Both are extremely time consuming, but we wrote out all the steps (and duration) to successfully cancel your subscription.

FAQs about Canceling Your LA Fitness Membership

When you cancel LA Fitness, do you immediately lose access?

If you decide to cancel, you may still use the club for any pre-paid time.
For example, if you paid in advance for your last month's dues during the time of enrollment, those prepaid dues will be utilized for the month succeeding the one in which you made your final recurring dues payment before we received your cancellation notice. Your membership will conclude at the conclusion of that prepaid last month. You will not be able to get a refund for that prepaid month.

Is there a fee if you cancel LA Fitness?

No, there is no termination fee to cancel your LA Fitness membership.

Can you cancel your LA Fitness Membership online?

Sadly, no. LA Fitness is notorious for making it difficult for members to cancel their membership. The only options are to cancel in-person or by mail.
However, below we introduce ScribeUp — a subscription manager that makes it simple to cancel all your subscriptions, like LA Fitness, online with 1-click!

Steps to cancel in-person at your local gym (1-10 days)

In-person cancellation process are completely dependent on if the Operations Manager is on-site. They are typically available from 9AM - 5PM on weekdays. Before going in-person, I would call your home gym to confirm the manager will be in when you visit.

When the Operation Manager is available (30-60 min)

  1. Go to the closest LA Fitness gym near you -- you can call in to see the management hours from this link
  2. Request to cancel your membership at the front desk (you might have to explicitly request to speak to the Operations Manager)
  3. The Operations Manager will print out a form and will ask you a few questions:
    • Personal Information: Email address, membership number, and photo ID
    • Reasons for cancelling: They will also inquire about the reasons for cancelling — it can be as simple as “I am not interested anymore”
  4. They will confirm cancellation and you will have access to the gym for the prepaid month that you cancelled

When the Operation Manager is unavailable (10 days)

  1. Go to the closest LA Fitness gym near you
  2. Request to cancel your membership at the front desk
  3. The front desk representative will print out a form and will inform you that you will need to send this form to the address below (unfortunately, you can’t just submit it at the gym…we tried):
    • LA Fitness - PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619-4170
    • Ensure that the postmark is dated at least 5 business days before your next billing date to ensure no further recurring billing
  4. Mail the cancellation form by certified mail to ensure there is receipt if the form gets lost

Steps to cancel by mail (10 days)

We know, this is a pretty archaic option, but sadly LA Fitness makes it difficult to cancel your membership. Here’s how to do it:
  1. Log into My LA Fitness
  2. Click on the Account Information tab
  3. Click Cancellation Form (right side of the screen)
  4. Print and fill out form
