How to Cancel Your Planet Fitness Membership
Step 1: Review Your Membership Contract
The first step in canceling your Planet Fitness membership is to review your contract. This will help you understand the terms and conditions of your membership and any potential fees associated with canceling.
If you have a Classic or Black Card membership, you can cancel at any time. However, if you have a Green Light membership, you cannot cancel until the year is up unless there are specific reasons such as moving, medical, or military deployment.
