# How to cancel Planet Fitness

Cancel Planet Fitness through the member portal's membership-management area when online cancellation is available, or send written notice to your home club or visit it in person. It takes about 5-15 minutes, and notice generally must arrive by the 10th to stop the draft on the 17th. A $58 buyout fee applies when a minimum-term membership ends early, and no general refund policy is published.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** The public US FAQ does not state a general membership-refund policy. Ask the home club about a disputed charge and the signed Membership Agreement.
- **Pausing:** No nationwide freeze rule was verified on the public US FAQ. Ask the home club whether a freeze is available and whether fees or time limits apply.
- **Downgrading:** Planet Fitness says membership downgrades are handled at the member's home club.
- **Account data:** Eligible state residents can request deletion of personal data, subject to identity verification and legal exceptions. Ending membership does not itself delete the Planet Fitness account or all personal data.
