LA Fitness Membership Transfer & Upgrade Guide (2026)

You cannot transfer your LA Fitness membership to another person β€” but you can transfer your home club to a different location. Here’s the difference, the step-by-step process, transfer rules, and what to do if you’re moving.

Transfer to a Person vs. Transfer to a Club

These are two completely different things:

Transfer to Another Person Transfer Home Club
What it means Give your membership to someone else Change your primary gym location
Allowed? No Yes

Can I Transfer My Membership to Another Person?

No. LA Fitness memberships are non-transferable between individuals. You cannot give, sell, or transfer your membership to a friend, family member, or anyone else. Each person must have their own account and contract.

If someone wants to join:

  • They need to sign up for their own membership
  • You can refer them β€” LA Fitness has a referral program that may earn you rewards
  • They can be added to a family plan under your account (each person still has their own membership)

How to Transfer Your Home Club (Step-by-Step)

If you’re moving or want to switch your primary gym location:

  1. Log in to your account at lafitness.com
  2. Go to “My Account” β†’ “Membership Options” or “Account Information”
  3. Select “Transfer Membership”
  4. Search for your new location by ZIP code or city
  5. Review the pricing β€” if the new club costs more, you’ll pay the difference
  6. Confirm the transfer
  7. You’ll receive an email confirmation with updated billing details

Alternative: Visit either your current home club or the new club in person and ask the staff to process the transfer.

Transfer Rules & Limitations

  • Same name only: The transfer must stay under the same member’s name β€” no exceptions
  • Good standing: Your account must have no overdue payments or pending cancellation requests
  • 90-day limit: You can only transfer your home club once every 90 days
  • Contract terms: Transferring doesn’t reset or change your contract terms

Transfer Fees

LA Fitness does not charge a separate transfer fee for changing your home club. However:

  • If the new club has higher monthly rates, your dues will increase to match
  • If the new club has lower rates, your dues may decrease (not guaranteed β€” confirm with staff)
  • Any price difference takes effect on your next billing cycle

Transferring To/From Signature Clubs

Signature Clubs are LA Fitness’s premium locations with higher prices and extra amenities. Special rules apply:

  • Regular β†’ Signature: You’ll need to upgrade your membership (higher monthly rate)
  • Signature β†’ Regular: Possible, but confirm you won’t lose benefits you want to keep
  • Multi-club access: If you already have Signature or multi-club access, you may not need to transfer at all β€” you can already use multiple locations

Upgrading Your Membership Instead

If you want access to more clubs (rather than switching your home club), consider upgrading:

  • Single-club β†’ Multi-club: Access all LA Fitness locations (higher monthly rate)
  • Regular β†’ Signature: Access premium Signature Clubs

Upgrades can usually be done online or at the front desk. Your billing adjusts on the next cycle.

Moving to a New State? What to Know

  • LA Fitness has clubs across the US and Canada β€” check lafitness.com/locations for clubs near your new address
  • If there’s a club nearby, transfer your home club using the steps above
  • If there’s no club nearby, consider freezing ($10/month) or canceling your membership
  • Some memberships only allow access to clubs in the same state β€” check your contract if you have a single-state plan

FAQs

Can I transfer my LA Fitness membership to my spouse?

No. Memberships cannot be transferred between people. Your spouse needs their own membership (or can be added to a family plan).

How often can I transfer my home club?

Once every 90 days.

Is there a fee to transfer my home club?

No separate transfer fee, but your monthly rate may change if the new club has different pricing.

Can I use any LA Fitness without transferring?

Only if you have multi-club access. Single-club members are limited to their home club (plus guest privileges where applicable).

Transfer policies verified October 2026. Specific terms may vary by club and membership type. Confirm with your local LA Fitness.
