How to Cancel a Planet Fitness Membership
Three routes are documented — club visit, mailed notice, member portal — but the procedure can vary by club, so your home club has the final say.
- Online not guaranteed - varies by club
- Notice by the 10th stops the 17th
- Buyout fee may apply
One of the three routes the official FAQ lists.
Go to your home club

Billing deadline and fees
- Notice deadline
- To stop the monthly membership billing on the 17th, the club must receive the request by the 10th, and billing changes may take up to 7 business days to take effect.
- Commitment period
- The commitment length is the minimum number of months you will be billed; cancelling before it ends may incur a buyout fee. The FAQ does not publish an amount.
- No Commitment membership
- For a No Commitment membership, the FAQ states you may cancel at any time without paying a fee.
Your exact billing date, any fee amount, and which routes apply can vary by region and by the terms of your own agreement. Check your membership agreement and your home club.
Important exceptions+−
Before you cancel
- Confirm which club is your home club — both the written notice and the in-person route are defined against it.
- Check whether your membership has a commitment period. Planet Fitness describes it as the minimum number of months you will be billed, with a possible buyout fee for cancelling earlier.
- Work backwards from your billing date. For billing on the 17th, notice must reach the club by the 10th.
- Planet Fitness's own advice is to contact your home club first to confirm the cancellation policy.
After you cancel
- Billing changes can take up to 7 business days, so re-check your statement after the next billing date.
- If you mailed the notice, keep the record — the arrival date is what determines when billing stops.
- Getting written confirmation from your home club leaves you with something to point at later.
Frequently asked questions+−
Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel entirely online?
The FAQ lists the member portal as one of three routes but does not state that online cancellation is available for every membership at every club. Because it says policies may vary by location, this needs confirming with your home club.
What does cancelling during a commitment period cost?
The FAQ states a buyout fee may apply but does not publish an amount. The figure has to come from your own membership agreement and your home club.
Can I transfer to a different club instead?
The FAQ documents online transfer with its own eligibility conditions and directs you to your home club if you do not meet them. It is a separate process from cancelling.
