How Do You Get an LA Fitness Free Pass?
Get an LA Fitness free pass by filling out the guest pass form at lafitness.com/guest-pass, asking a member friend for one of their three monthly passes, or...
Quick Answer
The three ways to get an LA Fitness free pass in 2026 are: the permanent 3-day guest pass at lafitness.com/guest-pass, a member friend giving you one of their three monthly passes, or catching a seasonal 5-day trial in January or September.
All three require photo ID at check-in and are limited to one per person per 12 months.
The Standard 3-Day Website Pass
Go to lafitness.com/guest-pass. Fill in your name, email, phone and preferred club. Submit. Within a few minutes you receive an email with a barcode voucher.
Print the voucher or show it on your phone. Bring photo ID matching the name. The pass is good for three consecutive days from your first check-in.
Member-Sourced Free Passes
- Every LA Fitness member gets three free guest passes per month.
- Ask a friend who is a member to send you a digital pass through their app.
- You still need ID at the door and must fill out a waiver on your first visit.
- The pass covers one full-day visit including classes, pool and every general amenity.
Seasonal Promotional Trials
January 1 through January 15 and again in early September, LA Fitness runs an extended free trial (usually 5 days, sometimes 7). During these windows the sign-up flow at lafitness.com automatically extends the standard 3-day pass.
Time your first visit to hit one of these windows and you double or triple your free access.
Corporate Wellness Free Passes
If your employer is a corporate wellness partner (Amazon, Costco, most large hospital systems, several universities), you get a longer free trial through your HR portal. Usually 7 to 14 days.
Check your employee benefits site before you go the retail route. Corporate passes are often the longest free trial available.
What the Free Pass Includes
Full gym floor, group classes, pool, sauna, hot tub, basketball courts and locker rooms. You get treated as a full member for the duration of the pass.
Not included: personal training, Kids Klub childcare, tanning at the handful of clubs that offer it, and any equipment kept in the private training studio.
What Sales Pressure to Expect
Every free-pass user is assigned to a membership counselor who will follow up by phone and email during and after the pass. That contact is baked into the sales flow; you cannot opt out.
If you do not want to be pitched, tell the counselor at check-in that you will follow up if interested. Most will back off after one clear no.
Pro Tips Before You Commit
- Tour on a weekday evening between 5pm and 7pm. That is the busiest window. If the equipment is still accessible then, it will be fine any other time.
- Ask for the promotional rate, do not accept the rack rate. LA Fitness runs quiet in-club promos almost every month; sales counselors have discretion to waive the initiation fee if you ask.
- Get every quote in writing. Verbal promises about future price locks are worth nothing once the sales rep leaves the club.
- Read the exact clause on annual fees. Most members are surprised in month 8 by a $59 annual fee they were never verbally told about.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get more than one free pass a year? The standard 3-day pass is one per address per 12 months. A member friend can gift additional passes.
Do I need a credit card for the free pass? No, the 3-day pass does not require payment info. Extended trials sometimes do.
Does the free pass work at every location? No, it is valid only at the specific club you selected on the form.
Can I upgrade the free pass to a longer one? Only during promotional windows. Otherwise you need to sign up to keep access.
Bottom Line
Start with the free 3-day pass on the website. If you need more time, ask a member friend to send you a guest pass through the app. Anything beyond that requires signing up.
