How to cancel LA Fitness

Written notice. A PO box. Thirty days that are not a vibe.

Billed via Your location. Checked August 2026.

Official cancel path

The trap

Most memberships are month-to-month, but “month-to-month” still means written notice. LA Fitness publishes three doors: mail to P.O. Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619; in person at a club; or, in some states, the online account or email. They recommend certified or registered mail. A form postmarked at least 5 business days before the next billing date should stop further drafts; later than that, they say they may bill once more and refund it. Initial terms of three months or more can carry a termination fee if you leave early. Prepaid last-month dues get applied after the last recurring draft, which feels like they billed you again.

What fails

• Calling the club and considering it done.
• Handing a note to a trainer. Trainers are not the operations desk.
• Mailing regular first-class and arguing later. You need a postmark you can prove.
• Ignoring a 3+ month initial term. That is when the termination fee lives.
• Returning after you cancel without a receipt. The desk will not remember you.
