How to cancel your gym membership during coronavirus

Do: Try canceling for a valid reason besides Covid-19

Covid-19 is most likely not listed as a reason you can cancel your membership, but if you read over your agreement you might find another reason that applies to your situation. 

“Some gyms might allow you to exit your contract if you’ve lost your job or moved a certain distance away from the nearest location,” McGrath says. “So think beyond Covid-19 concerns and see if there are any other contract terms that might help you get out of your contract.” 

Don’t: Dispute credit card charges 

Because gyms have been closed, your membership has probably been frozen. If your gym opened back up, you might start seeing the monthly charge reappear on your credit card statement. But remember: To cancel the charges, you need to talk to your gym, not your credit card company.

“You agreed to those charges originally, so a credit card dispute will likely just land you back where you started once the bank confirms with the gym,” McGrath says.
