Overview

Anytime Fitness locations are independently owned franchises, which means cancellation policies can vary from club to club. However, most locations require a written cancellation letter sent by mail and do not accept phone or online cancellations.

How to Cancel

Step 1: Review Your Contract

  • Dig up your original membership agreement. It outlines the specific cancellation terms for your location.
  • Look for the required notice period (usually 30 days) and any early termination fees.

Step 2: Send a Written Cancellation Letter

  • Address your letter to your home club (the location where you signed up).
  • Include your full name, membership number, date of birth, phone number, and address.
  • Clearly state that you are requesting cancellation of your membership.
  • Send via Certified Mail with Return Receipt to ensure proof of delivery.

Step 3: Follow Up

  • Call your club 5-7 days after they receive the letter to confirm it was processed.
  • Check your bank or credit card statements for at least 2 billing cycles to confirm charges have stopped.

Important Details

  • Early termination fee: If you're within a contract term (usually 12 or 24 months), expect an early termination fee of $50-$150+.
  • Month-to-month: If you're past your initial term, you can cancel with the required notice period and no penalty.
  • Key fob return: Some locations require you to return your access key fob. Check with your club.
  • Franchise variation: What works at one Anytime Fitness may not work at another. Always check your specific contract.

Tips

  • Don't rely on the staff to process a verbal cancellation. Always get it in writing.
  • If you can't find your contract, ask the club for a copy before starting the cancellation process.
  • Send your letter well before your next billing date to avoid an extra charge.
