Cancellation Guide
The gym won't stop charging you. Put it in writing.
When a club drags out cancellation, every month you put off the paperwork is another month they bill you. A clear, dated letter ends that — it states the membership is over and future billing must stop, with a paper trail they can't wave away.
Write it free below. If you'd rather not deal with the printer and post office, we mail it for you — first class for $10, or certified with delivery tracking for $19.

Why a written letter works
Most gym cancellations go sideways for one reason: you think a verbal request or quick email was enough, and the gym later says it never got proper written notice under your agreement. That gap is where the extra charges live.
A mailed letter closes it — a specific date, a clear statement, and a paper trail that's far harder to dispute than a front-desk conversation. If billing continues past the date you set, you have proof the notice was sent.
Check your contract first. Many specify a notice period — 30 days is common — so your effective cancellation date may be later than the date you mail it.
What to include
- Your full name and the name on the account if different
- Your membership or account number
- The gym name and the correct mailing address — many contracts require a corporate or billing address, not the local club
- A clear statement that you are canceling
- The effective cancellation date, accounting for any notice period
- A direct request to stop all future billing on or after that date
- A request for written confirmation
Choose how it gets mailed
Writing and downloading your letter is always free. You only pay if you want us to handle the printing and mailing.
Two things that trip people up
Wrong address. Many contracts require written notice to a corporate or billing address, not the local gym. A letter to the front desk of a franchise location may not satisfy the requirement. Check the contract.
Charges that keep coming. After sending, watch your bank or card statements through the effective date. If billing continues past the date you specified, you now have a documented dispute with a clear starting point — which is exactly when the certified delivery record pays off.
