Where to Send Your Planet Fitness Cancellation Letter

Why certified mail matters

Creating a documented paper trail

"But they said in-person only..."

Some gyms have restrictive cancellation requirements. Sending a certified letter creates documented proof that you submitted a written cancellation request.

Documented proof of delivery

USPS Certified Mail creates an official USPS record of delivery. It's not just a tracking number — it's documentation that can support a chargeback dispute with your bank.

What if they keep charging?

If Planet Fitness continues billing after delivery, we provide a documentation kit — your delivery proof, cancellation letter, and supporting records — organized to present to your bank for a chargeback dispute.

Have a qualifying life event?

Many gyms waive early termination fees for members with qualifying circumstances. If any of these apply to you, you may be able to cancel without penalty:

How to Cancel Planet Fitness If You Moved

If you've relocated more than 25 miles from the nearest Planet Fitness location, you may qualify for cancellation without early termination fees. Most gym contracts include a relocation clause for members who move outside the service area.

To cancel your Planet Fitness membership after moving, you'll need proof of your new address (lease, utility bill, or mortgage documents). We include your relocation details in your cancellation letter.

Cancel Planet Fitness for Military Deployment (SCRA)

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal law that provides protections for active duty military members. Under 50 USC Section 3956, gym contracts may generally be terminated without penalty when a servicemember provides military orders.

This applies to deployment orders, PCS orders, activation orders (National Guard/Reserve), and may extend to dependents. Your Planet Fitness cancellation letter will reference the SCRA and include your orders as documentation.

Cancel Planet Fitness for Medical Reasons

If a medical condition, injury, or disability prevents you from using your Planet Fitness membership, you may qualify for cancellation without early termination fees. Many gym contracts have medical hardship provisions.

You'll typically need a doctor's note. Requirements for medical documentation vary by gym and state law — check your gym's cancellation policy for specifics. We include your documentation with your Planet Fitness cancellation letter.
