Hard to cancel - in person or certified mail only
Cancel LA Fitness - step by step
No online or phone cancel - this is deliberate retention friction

LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, and 24 Hour Fitness all use in-person or certified mail as a deliberate barrier. The certified mail route creates a verifiable paper trail that's hard for them to dispute if they continue billing.

LA Fitness commitment memberships

Standard month-to-month memberships have no cancellation fee. Annual commitment ("Signature") memberships may carry an early termination fee - check your original agreement. LA Fitness enrollment/initiation fees are non-refundable regardless of when you cancel.

If LA Fitness keeps charging after cancellation

Use your certified mail return receipt as proof of the cancellation date and file a bank chargeback for charges after that date. You can also file a complaint with your state attorney general's consumer protection office.
