How the LA Fitness Guest Pass Works

A guest pass lets someone try a club with a current member — no purchase required. Here's how to get one and what it actually covers.

Free Cost 1 visit Typical validity Guest of a member Who can use it Usually, yes ID required

The LA Fitness guest pass is built for one purpose: letting a current member bring someone in to try the club, at no cost, without that person signing anything.

How to get one

  • A current member requests or presents the pass at their home club.
  • The guest typically needs a photo ID at check-in.
  • Some clubs also offer a complimentary guest pass directly to non-members through a request form, without needing a member to sponsor it — availability varies by location.

Guest pass vs. day pass

These get confused constantly, so here's the distinction:

See the full day pass options if you want more than one visit without committing to membership.

Bring a guest, know the rules. Guest privileges and how often you can bring someone vary by plan tier — Classic and above generally include more generous guest access than Basic.
