Cancel Your Anytime Fitness Membership

Here's how to cancel Anytime Fitness in person at your home club. If you can't visit, see phone and mail options below.

01

Visit your home club

Go to the Anytime Fitness location where you originally signed up. This is your home club and the only location that can process your cancellation in person.

02

Bring required documents

Bring a valid photo ID and your membership agreement if you have it. Some locations may require additional documentation, so call ahead to confirm requirements.

03

Request cancellation form

Ask the front desk staff for a membership cancellation form. Fill out all required information completely and legibly to avoid processing delays.

04

Submit form and get receipt

Submit your completed form to staff and request a cancellation receipt or confirmation. Keep this documentation as proof of your cancellation request.

05

Verify final billing

Check your bank statements to ensure billing stops as expected. Your membership typically remains active until the end of your current billing period.

Anytime Fitness cancellation tips

A few things that might affect your Anytime Fitness cancellation process.

30-day advance notice required
Most Anytime Fitness locations require 30 days written notice before cancellation takes effect, so plan accordingly to avoid extra charges.
Annual fees charged separately
Annual membership fees are often charged in addition to monthly dues and may not be refundable even if you cancel mid-year.
Policies vary by franchise location
Franchise locations have different policies for freezing memberships, cancellation fees, and required notice periods, so ask about your specific club's rules.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check your contract commitment

Many Anytime Fitness memberships have 12-month commitments with early termination fees. Review your agreement to understand any penalties for cancelling early.

2. Consider freezing instead

If you're temporarily unable to use the gym, ask about freezing your membership instead of cancelling. This is often cheaper than reactivation fees later.

3. Note upcoming annual fee dates

Annual fees are typically charged in January or on your membership anniversary. Time your cancellation to avoid paying this fee if you don't plan to stay.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or temporary circumstances, these alternatives might work better than cancelling completely.

Freeze your Anytime Fitness membership

Most Anytime Fitness locations offer membership freezes for medical reasons, travel, or financial hardship. Freeze fees are typically $5-10 per month, much less than full membership dues.

Alternative ways to cancel Anytime Fitness

If you can't visit your home club in person, you can cancel through phone or certified mail. The method depends on your location's specific policies.
