How to cancel your LA Fitness membership in 2026

LA Fitness accepts three ways to cancel a month-to-month membership. Here are the steps, the 5-business-day billing rule, and what happens if you are still in a contract.

Short answer

LA Fitness says most month-to-month memberships can be cancelled any time in three ways: through your online account (My LA Fitness), in person at a club's front desk, or by mail to P.O. Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619 (certified mail recommended). A mailed cancellation postmarked at least 5 business days before your next billing date stops further billing. Contracts with an initial term of 3 months or more carry a termination fee if you cancel early, and training memberships cannot be cancelled on the website. Leaving the gym but not training?

LA Fitness is easier to leave than its reputation suggests: its own Membership Questions page lists an online option alongside the front desk and the mail. The details that cost people money are the billing cut-off and the contract term.

Option 1: cancel through your online account

  1. Go to lafitness.com and sign in to My LA Fitness (Member Tools).
  2. Open Membership Questions and choose Cancel My Membership, or use the cancel option in your account.
  3. Finish the steps for each membership on the account (each one is cancelled separately).
  4. Keep the confirmation page and the confirmation email.

Option 2: cancel in person

Go to the front desk at any LA Fitness club and ask to cancel. Ask for a written or emailed confirmation before you leave.

Option 3: cancel by mail

Mail a written cancellation notice to LA Fitness, P.O. Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619. Include your full name, member or barcode number, address and signature. LA Fitness recommends registered or certified mail; keep the receipt.

Not sure? Freeze instead

LA Fitness lets monthly-dues members freeze for $10 a month if your dues are higher than that, and paid-in-full members can freeze for up to 6 months for $35. Useful if you are away for a summer or recovering from an injury.
