To cancel your Life Time membership, give 30 days’ written notice. Life Time does not cancel over the phone. You have two options: bring a photo ID to your club’s member services desk and sign a cancellation request, or mail a signed letter by USPS Certified Mail to your club. Your access stays active through the 30-day notice period. There is no cancellation fee, but you may be billed one more cycle if you cancel after your billing date.
Life Time is a chain of high-end fitness clubs across the United States and Canada. A single membership runs about $77 a month, and a dual membership about $127 a month, though prices change by club and tier (bronze, gold, onyx, platinum, or diamond). Memberships include cardio and strength machines, free weights, functional training areas, group workshops, and online programs.
How do you cancel a Life Time membership?
Two methods work. Both need 30 days’ written notice.
Method 1: Cancel in person at the club
- Go to your home club and bring a photo ID, because staff verify your identity before processing the request.
- Ask the member services desk for the cancellation form.
- Fill in your name, member ID, and request to cancel, then sign it.
- Ask for written confirmation by email and keep a copy for your records.
Method 2: Cancel by certified mail
- Write a letter asking to cancel. Include your name, member ID, and home club.
- Send it by USPS Certified Mail to your club’s address, because the tracking proves the date Life Time received your notice.
- Keep the certified mail receipt and tracking number.
- Call your club a few days later to confirm the cancellation is processing, and ask for it in writing.
Can you cancel a Life Time membership by phone?
No. Life Time does not accept cancellations by phone, email, or online. You must submit written notice in person or by certified mail. The phone is useful only to confirm a cancellation you already submitted.
How long does the 30-day notice take?
Your membership stays active for 30 days after Life Time receives your notice, and you pay for that period. If your notice lands after your monthly billing date, you may be charged one more cycle. Submit early in your billing month to avoid an extra charge.
What if you don’t want to cancel for good?
Canceling is not your only option. If you plan to return, two paths cost less than starting over later.
- Put your membership on hold. After six straight months as a club member, you can pause club access for up to six months by switching to the Digital membership at about $15 a month. A 30-day notice applies, and you skip the joining fee when you come back.
- Downgrade to Digital. Keep the app, classes, and online programs for about $15 a month instead of paying full club dues.
How do you avoid extra charges?
- Give notice early in your billing month so the 30 days clear before your next charge.
- Keep proof. Save the certified mail receipt or the in-club form and any email confirmation.
- Confirm in writing. Ask the club for written confirmation, because a verbal “you’re all set” is hard to dispute later.
- Check your card statement for the next two billing cycles to catch any charge that should have stopped.
