Method 1: Cancel Planet Fitness membership in person
If you want to cancel your Planet Fitness membership in person, here is the guide to follow:
-
- The first thing that you have to do is to write down the information that you will need. This information includes your membership identification number and some of your personal information such as your address, your Social Security Number (SSN), your driver’s license number, and your date of birth.
- Then, write a one page document asking them to cancel your membership since Planet Fitness requires a written cancellation. It is important for you to make sure that it is in accordance with the specifications of the contract. Do not forget to mention in the letter that you want your cancellation fee waived if eligible. Besides, you should also state the reason why. The next thing that you have to note is the documentation that comes with the letter. In addition, you should also include the last four digits of your Social Security Number or SSN and your driver’s license number. When everything is done, sign the letter.
- After writing the letter, the next thing that you have to do is to call the Membership Services department and ask them the available hours. When you know the available hours, ask them to request a meeting to cancel your membership.
- On the day of meeting with the representative, tell them that you want to cancel your membership.

- The ninth step is to monitor your credit card or bank statements. Go contact the club if monthly or annual charges appear even though it should not have to.
- If any extra charges were taken out, just all Membership Services.
