How to Cancel LA Fitness
Skycopia rates LA Fitness as hard to cancel, and it has to be done in writing. The hassle isn't the steps — it's the notice period and the fees attached to it, so start earlier than you think.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if LA Fitness bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Mail a signed cancellation letter — certified mail with return receipt recommended — to LA Fitness, P.O. Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619-4170, or hand a written cancellation request to the operations manager at your home club in person
- 2
Postmark or deliver it at least 5 business days before your next billing date, or expect one more charge to process
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one, warning you before the retention offer — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
What they'll try to keep you
There's no online or phone cancel option — corporate reps and club staff both redirect you to a mailed letter or an in-person form at your home club, sometimes processed by only one staff member on a limited schedule.
Say this: “I'm not asking to freeze it — I want to cancel. Please tell me exactly where to send written notice and confirm my last billing date in writing.”
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling LA Fitness?
The FTC sued LA Fitness's parent company (Fitness International LLC) in August 2025, amended January 2026, alleging staff were trained to reject phone and email cancellation requests and that some members who blocked their card were rebilled under a new account number — keep your certified-mail receipt as proof either way. The annual fee (charged on your membership anniversary) is non-refundable once billed; if you just need a break instead of a full cancel, a freeze costs $10/month (or a $35 flat fee on paid-in-full memberships).
What will LA Fitness offer me to stay?
