How to Cancel Planet Fitness (2026 Guide)

Here's exactly how to cancel Planet Fitness in 2026 — in person, by certified mail, or online where your club supports it. Plan for 10–15 minutes, and know the big gotcha up front: your home club must receive the request by the 10th of the month to stop the monthly charge on the 17th.

Cancel Planet Fitness in person

This is the most reliable method, because your home club processes it on the spot.

1. Confirm your home club. It's listed in your membership agreement, or log in at planetfitness.com to check. Only your home club can process the cancellation.
2. Bring a valid photo ID.
3. Tell the front desk you want to cancel your membership.
4. Fill out the cancellation form with your name, address, membership ID number, and signature.
5. Read the form before signing — it shows your effective cancellation date and any remaining fees. Ask for a copy.

Cancel Planet Fitness by mail

If you've moved away from your home club, mail works — but use certified mail so you have proof of delivery.

1. Write a letter stating you want to cancel your Planet Fitness membership.
2. Include your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and membership ID number.
3. Date and sign the letter.
4. Send it to your home club via USPS Certified Mail and keep the receipt.

Cancel Planet Fitness on the web

Planet Fitness lists the online member portal as a cancellation option, but availability depends on your home club and state. If you don't see the option, use one of the methods above.

1. Go to planetfitness.com and click My Account.
2. Log in with the email connected to your membership.
3. Open your membership management section and look for the cancellation option.
4. Follow the on-screen steps and save the confirmation.

There is no way to cancel by phone, email, or through the Planet Fitness app.

Before you cancel

Annual fee: Planet Fitness charges an annual fee once a year — commonly $49, though it's $39 at some locations, and it's typically billed about two months after your signup date. To avoid it, your club must receive your cancellation by the 25th of the month before your annual fee date.

Policies vary by club: Planet Fitness clubs are franchised, and some policies and procedures differ by location. If anything here doesn't match what your club tells you, your membership agreement is the final word.

Buyout fee: if your membership has a minimum term and you cancel before it ends, a $58 buyout fee applies. No-commitment plans skip this.

Refunds: Planet Fitness doesn't advertise refunds for charges already billed — check your membership agreement and Planet Fitness's current terms for your club's policy.
