Planet Fitness entices customers with low-cost membership plans along with plans geared toward high school students, but you’re in store for a greater workout when it comes time to cancel your membership.

Here’s what you need to know about the multi-step process to cancel your Planet Fitness membership and avoid paying extra fees, especially important as Planet Fitness recently raised its basic membership fee by 50 percent.

How do I cancel my Planet Fitness membership?

While it may cost you roughly $15 to sign up for a Planet Fitness membership, you’ll run the risk of paying more if you don’t properly cancel your Planet Fitness membership, which includes submitting a written notice of cancellation.

Firstly, the cancellation process can vary between Planet Fitness locations, so check with your local Planet Fitness facility for its cancellation process.

“For most locations, you can visit your home club in person to cancel your membership or send a written notification via mail to your home club requesting to cancel,” read Planet Fitness’ online cancellation guide. “Some members may also be eligible to cancel their membership online based on their membership type and the location of their home club.”

You will have to act in advance if you want to cancel your monthly or annual Planet Fitness membership and not be charged for the unused portion.

“To stop the billing of your monthly membership on the 17th, the club must receive written notice delivered by the 10th in person or through mail, as it may take up to 7 business days for billing changes to take effect,” read Planet Fitness’ cancellation policy. “To stop the billing of the annual fee, cancellation must be completed by the 25th of the month prior to the annual fee date.

“If your membership has a minimum term and is canceled prior to end of contract term, a $58 buyout fee is required.”
