Wondering how to cancel membership at Planet Fitness? Whether you’re moving, changing gyms, or simply taking a break, canceling your Planet Fitness membership is possible—but it requires either an in-person visit or a written notice via certified mail. In this guide, we explain both methods step-by-step and share real tips from other members.

Cancel In-Person at Your Local Club

The fastest way to handle how to cancel membership at Planet Fitness is by visiting your home club. You’ll need to ask for a cancellation form at the front desk. Fill it out and sign it. Make sure to do this **7–10 days before your billing date** to avoid additional charges.

What You’ll Need:

• Government-issued photo ID
• Your membership information (phone/email)
• Optional: Any documentation for medical or relocation reasons

Cancel by Certified Mail

If you can’t visit your club in person, the second option for how to cancel membership at Planet Fitness is mailing a signed cancellation letter. This letter must include your name, address, phone number, membership ID (if known), and your cancellation request.

Sample Letter:

To: [Your Club’s Address]

Dear Planet Fitness Manager,

I request cancellation of my Planet Fitness membership effective immediately.

Name: John Doe  
Phone: (123) 456-7890  
Email: johndoe@email.com  
Signature: ______________________  
Date: _______________

Send the letter via **certified mail** and keep the receipt as proof.

Canceling a Black Card Membership

For those asking how to cancel membership at Planet Fitness with a Black Card, the steps are the same. However, since this plan often includes commitments and benefits, cancellation policies may vary by location.

Important Tips:

• If you’re within your contract period, you might be charged a small early termination fee.
• Make sure to verify whether your membership was month-to-month or under a 12-month term.
