Updated 2026-05-03 · 5 min read

LA Fitness does not allow online cancellations. You must cancel in person at any location or by certified mail. Here is the exact process, the certified mail address, and what to do if you have an annual contract.

Quick answer

LA Fitness has no online cancellation. Go to any LA Fitness location, fill out the cancellation form at the front desk, and get a stamped copy. Or send a certified letter to LA Fitness Member Services, PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619. You need 10 days notice before your next billing date.

Overview

You cannot cancel LA Fitness online. That is not a bug. That is a policy choice. Your two options are in-person at any location (you do not have to go to the club you joined) or certified mail. Both are documented below, along with what to watch for if you signed an annual contract.

TL;DR

  • No online cancel. In person or certified mail only.
  • Go to any LA Fitness location, not necessarily the one you joined
  • Certified mail: LA Fitness Member Services, PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619
  • Give 10 days notice before your next billing date
  • Annual contracts may have an early buyout fee if you are still within the term
  • Month-to-month members have no buyout fee

How to cancel LA Fitness

Cancel in person

Best for: Everyone. This is the primary method.

Estimated time: ~15-20 min

  1. Go to any LA Fitness or Esporta Fitness location. You do not need to return to the club you joined. Front desk staff will assist you.
  2. Tell the front desk you want to cancel your membership and ask for a cancellation form. They hand you a form. You will need your member ID (on your key fob or app), photo ID, and billing zip code.
  3. Fill out the form completely: name, member ID, contact info, billing address, and reason for canceling.
  4. Submit the completed form to the front desk. Ask for a copy with a staff signature, date stamp, or club stamp. This copy is your proof. Some clubs give a printed receipt instead.
  5. Confirm with the staff member when your access ends and when billing stops. You should have at least 10 days before the next billing date for the cancel to take effect.

Tip: LA Fitness staff may offer a freeze or a reduced rate to keep you. You are not required to accept any counter-offer. Politely decline and ask them to process the cancellation.

Cancel by certified mail

Best for: Members who cannot get to a club or want delivery proof

Estimated time: ~30 min to prepare, several days transit

  1. Write a cancellation letter including your full name, address, member ID, date, the club you belong to, and a clear statement requesting cancellation.
  2. Address the envelope to: LA Fitness Member Services, PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619. Verify this address at lafitness.com before mailing, as it can change.
  3. At the post office, send via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. You receive a tracking number and a green return receipt card.
  4. Track the delivery online. Once received, the signed green card comes back to you by mail. Allow 10 business days for processing after delivery. Monitor your bank statements.

Tip: Include a request in the letter asking LA Fitness to send written confirmation of your cancellation to your email or address. Some members receive a confirmation letter; some do not.
