How to Cancel Esporta Fitness (LA Fitness) Membership — 2026 Guide
Updated February 2026 • 5 min read
📝 No online cancellation. You must visit your home gym in person or send a certified letter. 30-day notice required — expect one more billing cycle.
Esporta Fitness is LA Fitness's budget brand — lower prices, fewer amenities, same cancellation headaches. Like most traditional gyms, they make canceling deliberately inconvenient. No online option, no phone cancellation, and a mandatory 30-day notice period. Here is how to get out.
Method 1: Cancel In Person
Visit your home gym (the location on your membership)
Go to the front desk and request a cancellation form
Fill it out completely — specify "cancel membership" not "freeze"
Ask for a copy of the completed form
Take a photo of the form with the staff member's name and date
30-day notice starts from the submission date
Method 2: Certified Letter
If you cannot visit in person:
Write a letter with: full name, member ID, home gym location, and clear cancellation request
Send via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested
Mail to: Fitness International, LLC P.O. Box 54170 Irvine, CA 92619-4170
Keep your tracking receipt and return receipt card
⚠️ Always use certified mail. Esporta/LA Fitness has a reputation for "losing" regular mail cancellation requests. Certified mail with return receipt gives you legal proof of delivery.
The 30-Day Notice
You will be charged for one more billing cycle after submitting cancellation
You can still use the gym during the 30-day notice period
There is no way around this — it is in the membership agreement
