How do I cancel Planet Fitness?
5-15 min Self-serve
Short answer
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, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
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.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Planet Fitness says membership downgrades are handled at the member's home club.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
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.
What happens to my 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.
Avoid the next charge
