Cancel a gym membership or alarm monitoring

Gyms and alarm monitoring often come with a contract. Read your cancel terms first: notice period, letter by mail, and any early-cancel fee. You do the cancelling; we never log in or cancel for you.

Key facts

  • Many gyms want a letter or a visit, and alarm contracts can have an early-cancel fee. Check your contract, and keep a copy of everything you send.
  • New York: cancelling must be as easy as signing up. If you signed up in person, the business must also let you cancel online or by phone. (N.Y. GBL 527-a)
  • Stopping automatic payments is not the same as cancelling the contract. Cancel with the company, then tell your bank if charges keep coming. (CFPB)

  3. Save proof. A screenshot or the confirmation email, with the date and a confirmation number.
  4. Check your next statement. Charged again? Ask the company for a refund, then dispute it with your card company or bank.

  • A year: $24.99 × 12 payments a year (monthly) = $299.88
  • A month: $299.88 ÷ 12 = $24.99

Formula: price × payments a year (weekly 52, monthly 12, every 3 months 4, every 6 months 2, yearly 1). Prices go up over time, so check your latest bill.
