how to cancel la fitness membership online

You can cancel an LA Fitness membership online now, but the process isn’t super obvious. Here’s a clear, step‑by‑step guide plus some recent forum chatter and tips.

Quick Scoop

  • You can cancel LA Fitness online through your account (no printing or mailing if you do it this way).
  • Alternative options still exist: email, mail‑in form, phone, or in‑club cancellation.
  • Always save written proof of cancellation and watch your next 1–2 statements for surprise charges.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership online

This is the closest thing to a “purely online” cancellation without going in person or mailing anything.

1. Log into your LA Fitness account

  • Go to the LA Fitness website and sign in using your email and password.
  • If you’ve never set up online access, you may need to create an online account first.

2. Go to “My LA Fitness” / Account area

  • After logging in, head to your account section (often labeled My LA Fitness or Account Information).
  • Look for a personal icon at the top left that takes you to Account Summary (this is what people in recent forum posts describe).

3. Find the online cancel option

Users on Reddit report this flow:

  • In Account Summary , look for a small three‑bar menu (a hamburger menu) near the “Account Summary” title.
  • Click that menu and look for “Cancel membership” (often listed under or near “Check‑In History”).
  • Follow the prompts to submit your cancellation request online; you may have to confirm several times.

LA Fitness and third‑party guides also mention you can access a Cancellation Form through “Account Information,” which you then complete to cancel.

4. Get confirmation

  • After submitting, look for a confirmation page and/or email stating your membership is canceled and indicating your final access date.
  • Screenshot or save this confirmation for your records in case billing issues show up later.

Other ways to cancel (if online doesn’t show up)

Some people still find the website only offers a printable form. In that case, these are your main alternatives.

1. Online account → download form → mail it

  • Log into My LA Fitness.
  • Go to Account Information.
  • Click Cancellation Form.
  • Print and fill it out, including your full name, membership number, and signature.
  • Mail it to:
    • LA Fitness – PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619 (or Irvine, CA 92619‑4170, depending on the guide).
  • Send via Certified Mail and keep the receipt so you can prove when they received it.

LA Fitness guides recommend mailing at least 5 business days before your next billing date to avoid another charge.

2. Cancel by email

Several sources say you can email LA Fitness customer service:

  • Include:
    • Full name
    • Membership number
    • Phone number on file
    • A clear statement: “I am requesting to cancel my LA Fitness membership effective immediately.”
    • Optional: brief reason (e.g., moving, financial, not using).
  • Ask for written confirmation of cancellation.
  • Expect processing in about 5–7 business days.

3. Cancel by phone

  • Call their customer service line (often cited as a 949 area‑code number in current guides).
  • Have your membership number and billing info ready.
  • Ask for cancellation and a confirmation email or text.
  • Even if they say it’s canceled, treat this as less solid than written methods, and watch your statements.

4. Cancel in person at a club

  • Go to your home club or nearest LA Fitness during management hours (usually weekday daytime).
  • Ask to speak to the Operations Manager and request to cancel.
  • They may print out a form; fill it and ask for a copy or written cancellation receipt.
  • Your access typically continues until the end of the already‑paid billing period.

Online cancellation: what forums are saying

Recent forum threads and posts (especially on Reddit) show that online cancellation used to be nearly impossible, but that’s changing.

“YSK you can cancel your LA Fitness membership online… log into your account, go to Account Summary, hit the three‑bar menu, and the cancel option is under Check‑In History.”

A few themes from recent discussions:

  • Newer online option : Users say they “weren’t sure when it became an option” but found it recently and used it successfully.
  • Still not super visible : The cancel button is tucked away in a menu, and not everyone sees it depending on their membership type or region.
  • Backup plan is key : Many people still rely on the mail‑in form or an in‑person visit when the online button doesn’t show up.

If your account doesn’t show “Cancel membership,” assume you’ll have to do the form + mail route or another method.

Common issues and how to avoid them

Because LA Fitness has a reputation for tricky cancellations, it’s worth being overly careful.

Watch for timing and extra charges

  • Cancel at least 5 business days before your next billing date if mailing, to avoid one more month’s charge.
  • With online or email cancellation, treat it as not final until you’ve received written confirmation.

Always keep proof

  • Save:
    • Screenshots of the online cancellation page.
    • Copies of any email you send and any confirmation you receive.
    • Certified Mail receipts and tracking numbers if you send the form.
  • If a disputed charge happens later, this documentation is your best leverage.

Consider using a subscription tool (optional angle)

Some services and apps (like ScribeUp or Rocket Money) advertise “1‑click” cancellations and subscription tracking for LA Fitness.

They can be convenient, but:

  • They usually need access to your billing or bank info.
  • They aren’t official LA Fitness tools, so always verify cancellation on your LA Fitness account page afterward.

Mini FAQ

Is LA Fitness required to let me cancel online?

Not strictly—many guides still describe mail or in‑person forms as the “official” methods, and their own site flow can vary.

However, recent account dashboards do offer an online cancel option for many members, which is why it’s worth checking first.

Does online cancellation work for all membership types?

Not necessarily. Some contracts (e.g., older agreements, personal training packages) may require different steps or may not show the online cancel button.

If you do not see “Cancel membership” online, follow the cancellation‑form and mail or in‑club route.
