Understanding the LA Fitness Membership Agreement
The agreement you sign at enrollment governs your rate, your fees, and your cancellation rights. Here's what to actually read before signing.
The membership agreement is the actual contract — everything referenced across this site (fees, cancellation process, freeze policy) is ultimately defined by the specific document you sign at your club, which can vary slightly by location and promotion.
Sections worth reading closely
- Contract term: most plans are month-to-month, but some promotional sign-ups include a minimum term — confirm which applies to you.
- Fee schedule: lists your specific initiation fee, annual fee amount and billing date, and any add-on pricing.
- Cancellation clause: spells out the required notice method and timing — this is the section that matters most if you plan to cancel later.
- Rate lock terms: some agreements guarantee your monthly rate won't increase while you remain a continuous member.
