How to cancel Planet Fitness
No self-serve online cancel: you have to call to close the account.
Steps to cancel Planet Fitness
- 1Planet Fitness cannot be fully cancelled through a simple online button for most plans. You cancel in person at your home club (the location where you signed up) or by certified mail.
- 2In person: bring a government-issued ID, ask the front desk for the cancellation form, complete it, and request a printed confirmation before you leave.
- 3By certified mail: write a signed letter stating you wish to cancel, include your full name, address, phone, email, and membership ID, and send it via USPS Certified Mail with return receipt to your home club.
- 4Time it so the request arrives before your billing cutoff (clubs generally need it by around the 10th to stop billing on the 17th). An annual fee or a modest cancellation fee may still apply depending on your agreement.

“Annual trial is twice as long as monthly — always pick that one even if you plan to cancel. (7-day trial (monthly) or 14-day trial (annual))”

“Noom's psychology-based approach is genuinely good for some people, but the trial is engineered to charge you. The default trial sneaks you onto the most expensive ($70/mo) plan — if you decide to keep it, immediately switch to the annual plan and your effective cost drops by 75%. If you don't, set a calendar alert for day 6 and cancel in-app, not by email.”
