What to know about cancelling Planet Fitness
Ways to cancel
- Online, by logging into your account in the member portal on planetfitness.com.
- In person at your home club (the club where you signed up).
- By written notice mailed to your home club.
Deadlines
To stop the monthly charge on the 17th, your club must receive the request by the 10th of the month. To avoid the annual fee, it must arrive by the 25th of the month before the fee date. Billing changes can take up to 7 business days.
Fees
- If your membership has a minimum term and you leave before it ends, Planet Fitness charges a $58 buyout fee.
Tips
- Policies can vary by location because of state and local rules: if your club tells you something different, ask for it in writing.
- Mailing early matters: the deadline counts from when the club receives your letter, not when you send it.
- Certified mail gives you a USPS tracking number and a delivery record, useful if a charge shows up after you cancelled.
