Planet Fitness is famously easy to join and deliberately awkward to leave - there is no online or in-app cancel button. As of 2026 you cancel in two ways only: in person at your home club, or by certified letter. The key to not overpaying is timing it around your annual fee. Here is how.
Note your monthly billing date and your annual-fee date - timing decides whether you owe one more charge.
Go to your home club, bring a photo ID, and ask the front desk for the cancellation form. Fill it out there.
If you cannot visit, mail a certified letter (return receipt) to your home club stating you wish to cancel your membership effective immediately.
Always leave with - or keep - written confirmation: a signed form, printed receipt, or email. Do not accept a verbal-only promise.
As of 2026 Planet Fitness typically requires the request by the 10th of the month to stop the next monthly charge, and by the 25th of the month before your annual-fee month to avoid that annual fee. Confirm current dates with your club.
Forgot you were even paying for this? You are probably paying for others too. SubScan adds up every subscription, flags what you have stopped using, and ranks your fastest savings - so you cancel the right ones and they do not creep back. Everything stays on your device: no bank login, no account, no upload.

Complete your cancellation before the cutoff - typically by the 25th of the month before your annual fee is billed. Check your exact annual-fee date with your club.
Use your written confirmation and dated proof (certified-mail receipt) to dispute the charges with the club, and if needed with your bank or card issuer.
