Cancel a gym personal training agreement in writing, in about two minutes. Pick your gym, fill in the blanks, then copy, print or download the letter.
At many gyms, personal training is sold as its own agreement, separate from your membership. Cancelling the membership may not stop the training payments, so it helps to cancel the training agreement in writing and keep proof. This builder writes that letter for you. Read your agreement's cancellation section first, because it says how and where notice has to be sent.
This is a template, not legal advice. Your agreement and your state's law decide how cancellation works. Your state may give you extra rights; check your state attorney general's consumer page.
Chains handle training agreements differently, and many clubs are franchises that set their own rules. These guides cover what each chain publishes about personal training prices, contracts and cancelling:
If you are cancelling because of cost, you don't have to give up coaching. HipTrain is live 1-on-1 personal training over video with the same certified coach every session. Thirty-minute sessions start at $59.49 a month (about $14 a session) and 60-minute sessions at $109.99 a month (about $25), on monthly plans, with your first session free and no card needed. If you want hands-on spotting or gym equipment, an in-person trainer is the better fit. Compare in more detail in what a personal trainer costs.
Often not. At many gyms the personal training agreement is a separate contract from the membership, with its own term and payments. Cancel each one in writing, name the training agreement by its number, and keep proof of when you sent it.
Use the method your agreement names. If it says written notice or mail, send it by USPS Certified Mail with a return receipt so you have proof of delivery, and keep a copy. If the club accepts letters in person, hand it to a manager and ask for a signed, dated copy.
Only if your agreement ties cancellation to one, such as moving or a medical condition. Read the cancellation section first. If it lets you cancel for any reason after a notice period, a short letter with no reason is fine.
It depends on your agreement and your state. Some agreements refund prepaid unused sessions when you cancel for an allowed reason; others do not. The letter asks for any refund you are owed, and your state attorney general can tell you what your state requires.
Contact the club with your proof of delivery and ask for written confirmation. If charges continue, ask your bank or card issuer about disputing them, and you can contact your state attorney general's consumer office.
