Anytime Fitness is a 24-hour franchise gym. Each club is independently owned, so the way you cancel membership is set by your home club and your signed agreement, not by one national cancel button.
Dues are usually billed by ABC Financial (also called ABC Fitness Solutions). The recurring charge may appear as Anytime Fitness, ABC Financial, or a similar gym billing name.
Deleting the Anytime Fitness app does not cancel the gym membership. This guide covers how to cancel at your home club, how billing works, and how to confirm the next charge will stop.
What Is Anytime Fitness Membership Billing Before You Cancel Membership
Anytime Fitness membership generally includes 24-hour club access, use of other Anytime Fitness locations, and the member app. Coaching, training, and extra services may cost more and are set locally.
There is no single national price. Clubs set their own dues, enrollment fees, and key-fob fees. Third-party summaries often cite an average around $53 a month in the U.S., but your contract is the amount that matters.
Many clubs use a minimum term, often 12 months. Some offer month-to-month plans at a higher rate. After the initial term, membership often continues on a rolling basis if you agreed to auto-renewal.
Anytime Fitness says automatic renewal applies if you opted in on the agreement. The membership does not always end on its own when the first term runs out.
Your home club owns the cancellation decision. ABC Financial handles many payment questions, card updates, and draft issues.
Official U.S. contact pages tell members to review the Membership Agreement, then contact the home club to cancel. Use the Club Locator on AnytimeFitness.com to find that club’s phone and address.
Canceling is different from freezing, transferring, returning a key fob, or deleting the app. A freeze may pause access for travel or injury, if your club allows it. A transfer may move you to another club if you relocate. Neither step is the same as a full cancel membership request.
How to Cancel at Your Home Club
This is the method Anytime Fitness documents for U.S. members. Policies and required forms vary by club and by state, so follow your agreement first.
- Find your Membership Agreement and note the home club, term end date, notice period, and any early cancellation fee.
- Look up that same club in the official Club Locator. Confirm staffed hours before you go.
- Bring a photo ID, your member number or key fob, and a printed cancel request with today’s date.
- Ask for the club’s cancellation form. Fill it out in full.
- Hand the form to a manager or team member if your contract requires in-person delivery.
- Ask for a stamped copy, email confirmation, or receipt that shows the last bill date.
- Return the key fob if the club requires it, and get that return in writing.
Many agreements ask for about 30 days of written notice. Some also require your account to be current before cancellation can start. Do not treat a hallway conversation as proof. Get paper or email confirmation.
If you cannot visit, ask the home club whether it accepts a signed letter by certified mail or email. Mail it to the club address in your contract, not a random nearby gym. Keep the tracking receipt.
How to Cancel by Contacting Billing or Corporate Support
Call ABC Financial for billing questions, a draft date, or a copy of recent charges. Official Anytime Fitness pages list:
- ABC Financial billing: 1-888-827-9262
- ABC billing email: customercare@abcfitness.com
- Club or service issues: 1-800-704-5004
- Corporate member email: member.solutions@sebrands.com
ABC can often explain what posted to your card. It may not be able to cancel the membership if your club requires a home-club form.
Ask ABC whether your location is “ABC managed” and whether a written club notice is still required. Then follow that answer.
Have this ready:
- Full name and the email on the account
- Member or agreement number
- Home club city
- Last four digits of the card or bank account on file
Ask for the final draft date in writing. Stopping a bank draft by yourself does not cancel the contract. Clubs can still treat missed drafts as unpaid dues.
Canceling an Apple Fitness+ Add-On
The gym membership is not an App Store subscription. Some members also redeem Apple Fitness+ through the Anytime Fitness app. That add-on is billed by Apple, not by your club.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Apple Fitness+ if it is listed.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
On Android
Apple Fitness+ is an Apple service. If you do not use an Apple device, check whether any Google Play subscription is listed under the Anytime Fitness app. Cancel only what actually appears there. The gym dues still need a home-club cancel.
What Happens After You Cancel
Access usually continues through the notice period and any already-paid days. Future drafts should stop after the confirmed end date. Your key fob or app access is typically turned off when the membership ends.
You generally will not get a refund for time already billed. Early exits during a minimum term may require a buyout or cancellation fee. That amount is in your agreement and can differ by franchise.
Some member-shared contracts mention a flat early fee around $250 plus 30 days of dues, but that is not a national Anytime Fitness price. Treat it as an example only.
Your signed membership agreement controls the applicable fee, notice window, and accepted cancellation delivery method. Request written confirmation from your home club if any term is unclear.
If another charge appears after the end date, compare it with your confirmation. Call ABC Financial and the home club with that proof.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Read the cancel section of your contract before you visit. Note whether notice must be handed to a manager, mailed, or emailed.
Submit notice early enough to cover the full notice window plus mailing time. Screenshot or photocopy every page you sign. Save certified-mail receipts.
Watch the next one or two statements for ABC or Anytime Fitness drafts, including annual club fees if your contract has them. Confirm the club received the key fob.
If you moved, ask about a transfer before you pay an early fee. Official FAQs say memberships can transfer, and relocation transfers generally must be more than 10 miles from your last residence.
Common Problems and Solutions
You cannot cancel in the app.
That is common. Most U.S. clubs still require written notice at the home club. The app is not a substitute unless your club has enabled a documented self-cancel tool.
Staff say you must keep paying.
Ask them to point to the exact clause. If you are past the initial term and gave proper notice, request written confirmation of the last draft. If you are still in the term, ask for the buyout figure in writing.
Charges continued after you canceled.
Some members report the club and ABC each say the other owns the file. Send the same confirmation to both. Ask ABC to place a cancel note on the billing account.
You just signed up and changed your mind.
Many U.S. health-club contracts include a short cooling-off window set by state law, often a few business days. Your agreement should list the deadline and the delivery address. Cooling-off periods differ by state and by contract. Check the cancellation notice and deadline in your signed agreement, and confirm the applicable state consumer-protection rule before relying on a deadline.
You moved or have a medical reason.
Some contracts allow cancel or transfer with proof, such as a new lease, new ID, or a doctor’s note. Rules and mile distances vary. Ask the home club which documents it accepts.
Freeze, Transfer, or Buy Out Instead
A freeze can make sense if you will use the gym again after travel or injury. Freeze terms, fees, and time limits are local. Ask the home club before you cancel.
A transfer can keep worldwide access if you are moving near another Anytime Fitness. That may cost less than an early buyout.
A buyout ends the remaining term sooner. Pay it only after you have the amount and the cancel date in writing.
Alternatives After Canceling
You can use day passes at some clubs during staffed hours if you only need occasional access. Prices are local. Other options include a different gym with month-to-month billing, outdoor training, or a home setup.
If cost is the issue, ask your club whether a different plan exists before you cancel. Do not sign a new term unless you want another commitment.
FAQs About How to Cancel Anytime Fitness Membership
Q. How do I cancel Anytime Fitness membership?
A. Review your agreement, then give written notice to your home club in the way that contract requires. Use the Club Locator to reach that club. Ask ABC Financial at 1-888-827-9262 to confirm the last draft after the club accepts the notice.
Q. Does deleting the Anytime Fitness app cancel the membership?
A. No. The app does not stop club billing. Cancel with your home club, then watch your bank or card statement for ABC or Anytime Fitness charges.
Q. Will I get a refund after canceling?
A. Usually no for time already used or already billed. Cooling-off cancellations and unused prepaid time may be handled differently under your contract or state law. Ask the club to put any refund decision in writing.
Q. Why was I charged after I canceled?
A. The notice period may still have been running, an annual fee may have been due, or the club may not have sent the cancel file to ABC yet. Compare the charge date with your confirmation and call both the club and ABC Financial.
Conclusion
The reliable way to cancel Anytime Fitness membership in the U.S. is written notice to your home club, following the method in your agreement, then a billing check with ABC Financial. That is how you stop auto-renewal on the next recurring charge.
Keep the signed form, mail receipt, and final draft date. Once those records match a clean statement, the membership should be closed.
