Freeze your Planet Fitness membership
Planet Fitness offers a membership freeze option that puts your account on hold for up to 3 months. You'll pay a small monthly freeze fee (around $5) instead of your full membership dues.
Switch to a basic membership
If Black Card features aren't worth the extra cost, downgrade to Classic membership and save about $12 per month.
Classic: Access to home club only, basic amenities
Black Card: All locations, guest privileges, HydroMassage, massage chairs
Negotiate A Discount On Your Bill
Planet Fitness locations sometimes offer retention deals if you're cancelling due to cost. Ask about discounted rates or waived fees before finalizing your cancellation.
Many SAAS and subscription providers are also known to offer cancel discounts. These aren't always predictable.
