Don't Let Gym Memberships Drain Your Budget

Gym memberships are among the most commonly forgotten recurring charges. CancelDirect's subscription audit tool finds every subscription you are paying for, including gyms, so you can cut the ones gathering dust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze my LA Fitness membership instead of canceling?

Yes. LA Fitness allows membership freezes for a small monthly fee (typically $5-10/month). Visit your home gym to request a freeze.

Will I owe a cancellation fee?

If you are within an annual contract period, you may owe an early termination fee. Month-to-month members do not owe a fee but must give 30-day notice.

How do I know my cancellation went through?

If you cancel in person, get a written confirmation. If by mail, your certified mail return receipt is your proof. Check your bank statement the following month to confirm no charges.
