Get written confirmation
Save the confirmation, note your final access date, and watch for any final monthly or annual-fee timing.
Timing
- Planet Fitness says members can end membership by mail to the home club, by visiting the home club in person, or by logging into the member portal online.
- Planet Fitness says policies and procedures may vary by location based on state and local guidelines.
- Planet Fitness says commitment memberships may have a buyout fee if canceled before the commitment length ends, while No Commitment memberships may be canceled without a fee.
Watch out
- Your home club and agreement remain important because cancellation policy, final billing, and online availability can vary by location.
- Deleting the Planet Fitness app or stopping gym visits is not the same as canceling the membership.
