Gym Cancellation Guide
How to Cancel Your LA Fitness Membership
LA Fitness requires a specific cancellation form, which you print from your online account and then either hand to the operations manager at your club or mail to the address printed on the form. Phone and email requests are not processed. The mailed form route is the one that leaves you with proof.
LA Fitness only accepts its own printed form. Attach it to a dated cover letter and send both by certified mail so the delivery date is on record.
Ways to cancel LA Fitness
- printed cancellation form delivered in person
- printed cancellation form by mail
Notice period and fee timing
The cancellation form must arrive at least 5 business days before your next billing date to stop that charge. Print the form from your online account, since clubs often will not hand one over at the desk.
Why a certified letter beats every other method
Gym cancellations fail for one reason: no proof. Front desk staff forget, forms get lost, phone reps say one thing and the billing system does another. A cancellation letter sent by USPS Certified Mail with return receipt gives you a delivery date the gym signed for. If billing continues past your notice period, that green card is the evidence your bank needs to reverse the charges.
- Check your agreement first. Find your notice period, billing date, and any early termination fee so your letter states the correct final billing date.
- Send the letter certified. Address it to your home club. Keep the receipt and tracking number.
- Watch your next two statements. One final draft inside the notice period is normal. Anything after that gets disputed with your proof of delivery attached.

Cancelling LA Fitness: common questions
Can I cancel LA Fitness over the phone or by email?
LA Fitness is corporate owned, and its accepted methods are: printed cancellation form delivered in person; printed cancellation form by mail. If a method is not listed in your membership agreement, assume a request through that channel will not be honored. Written requests are the only ones that produce proof.
How much notice does LA Fitness require?
The cancellation form must arrive at least 5 business days before your next billing date to stop that charge. Print the form from your online account, since clubs often will not hand one over at the desk. The agreement you signed is the final word, so pull it up before sending anything.
What should my LA Fitness cancellation letter include?
Your full name, the email and phone number on the account, your membership or key tag number, your home club location, a clear statement that you are cancelling, the date you expect billing to stop based on the notice period, and a request for written confirmation. Sign it, date it, and send it by USPS Certified Mail with return receipt.
LA Fitness kept billing me after I cancelled. What now?
Send a second letter referencing your original cancellation date and your certified mail receipt, demand a refund of the post-cancellation charges, and give them a deadline. If billing continues, dispute the charges with your card issuer or bank and attach your proof of delivery. This is exactly the situation the certified mail receipt exists for.
