LA Fitness Membership Cancellation

LA Fitness is a rather famous name in the United States – it is a gym chain that has over 700 locations in different parts of the US. The abundance of locations lets you find the one that is the closest to you, making the entire process of getting to and from a gym that much easier. The membership in LA Fitness is a monthly subscription without a contract.

However, there might come a time when you wish to cancel your LA Fitness membership, for one reason or another. And this is where this article comes in to help, since the process of LA Fitness membership cancellation is not as straightforward as you would expect from a modern-day subscription service.

In this context, we can safely say that there are multiple different ways to cancel your LA Fitness membership – be it via mail, using a phone, via an email, in person, or even with the help of a fax machine. Most of these methods are fairly straightforward, which is why we are going to explain each and every one of them.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership online

Unfortunately, right now there is no way to cancel LA Fitness membership online using your LA Fitness account on the official website. The closest method to cancelling your membership online is by sending an email, which we will cover later. 

It is worth noting that, despite the fact that there is no way to cancel your membership using an official website, there is still an option to create your own LA Fitness account on that same website (you would have to put in your membership tag number to create a new account). This account can then be used to receive a LA Fitness membership cancellation form that you can print out.

Here is how you can get there: visit the official LA Fitness website and use your account credentials to log in (or create a new account, if you don’t have one). Next, you have to go to the “My LA Fitness” page, which contains your account’s settings and preferences. On this page, you should see a separate category called “Account Information” – in here, you’ll see the “Cancellation Form” button.

Choosing the “Cancellation Form” option allows you to print out the subscription cancellation form, which you have to both fill out and send to LA Fitness in some way. There are three ways that you can do that – in person, by mail and with a fax.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership in person

Probably the easiest option out of the three, this one implies that you visit your local LA Fitness gym and hand your filled out form to the operations manager (or book an appointment with said manager). In most cases, operations managers should be available on business days (Monday to Friday) starting from 9 AM to 5 PM.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership via mail

An option that is not as simple is to mail your filled out subscription cancellation form using certified mail to LA Fitness main office located at “LA Fitness, PO Box 54170, Irvine, CA 92619-4170”. A certified mail is needed so that you can receive a receipt when the mail in question reaches its destination.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership using fax

It should also be possible to fax your cancellation form to the gym instead of delivering it through other means. You can get the exact fax number that you need by visiting your local gym or calling the gym’s employee. The fax receipt is also needed for you to have a proof of the form being sent in the first place.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership with an email

Sending an email to contact@fitnessintl.com is the closest you can get if you want to cancel LA Fitness membership online. In your letter, you should ask for your subscription to be cancelled, and provide the following information: your full name, your phone number, your home gym location, your date of birth, your email, your billing address and the last four digits of the credit card that was used to bill your subscription before.

How to cancel LA Fitness membership using a phone call

The number of LA Fitness customer service is 949-255-7200, and the customer support should help you with cancelling your LA Fitness membership – or to provide you with the information about how you can do so yourself. It is also recommended to call customer support several days after you’ve cancelled your membership via any of these methods, to make sure that your request has been processed.

Additional information about LA Fitness membership

Any and all of the LA Fitness cancel membership operations should be performed at least 5 days before your next billing cycle so that you would not get charged for another month of service. If you have been billed regardless of your subscription cancellation efforts, you can also try and contact your bank to ask them to stop recurring payments towards LA Fitness manually.

You can check your bank statements for the LA Fitness payment, as well. It has many forms, but all of them include at least one variation of the service’s name, be it “La Fitness”, “L A Fitness”, “LA FITNESS”, etc. If you do not wish to end your subscription permanently, there is also an option to pause it indefinitely – although it does cost you $10 per month.
