Current official examples show that the LA Fitness annual fee is not one universal number: Temecula and Douglasville show $59 per person, while Bear, Delaware shows $69.

Why members see a second charge soon after joining
The annual fee is not part of the total initial payment in the Temecula and Douglasville offers. A member can pay at enrollment and then see the annual fee approximately two weeks later.
Effect on the real monthly cost
A $59 annual fee adds about $4.92 per month when spread across a year. A $69 annual fee adds $5.75 per month.
Multiple people
The official pages describe the annual fee as per person, so adding family members can create additional annual charges.
Cancellation and refund
Do not assume an annual fee is automatically refundable. The signed agreement, notice timing and applicable law control.
Annual-fee budgeting timeline
A Temecula Classic member can pay $104.98 at enrollment and another $59 after 14 days, creating $163.98 in near-term charges before tax. Budgeting only the due-today number leaves the annual fee unplanned.
Annual fee per person
Because the enrollment page labels the charge per person, a two-person account with a $59 fee can create $118 in annual charges, and a four-person account can create $236, before tax. Confirm whether every added person follows the same date.
Difference between $59 and $69
The $10 annual difference looks small, but it confirms that annual fees vary. Over five years, unchanged $69 fees cost $50 more per person than unchanged $59 fees.
Annual-fee notice and statement review
Save the enrollment disclosure showing the first annual-fee date, then set a calendar reminder before the yearly anniversary. When the charge appears, compare the amount and person count with the agreement. A two-person account should not be evaluated as though the fee applied only once when the offer states “per person.”
Annual fee versus initiation fee
The initiation fee is generally a one-time enrollment cost, while the annual fee recurs. A low startup promotion can therefore have little effect on the long-term total if the annual fee and monthly dues remain higher.
Budgeting tip
Treat the annual fee as a monthly sinking-fund expense. Saving $4.92 each month covers a $59 fee, while saving $5.75 covers a $69 fee. This avoids a single yearly charge disrupting the budget.
