My gym only accepts cancellations in the app. Is that allowed?

A written cancellation by post is valid too. Keep your proof of posting so you can show that you cancelled and when.

Can I stop paying straight away?

No. You owe the fees up to the end date. Only stop the direct debit once the cancellation has been confirmed.

Re: Cancellation of membership

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to cancel my membership of your gym with effect from the earliest date allowed by the notice period in my membership agreement.

Please confirm the following to me in writing: - that you have received and actioned this cancellation; - the final end date of the membership; - that no further membership fees will be collected after that date.

I am also cancelling the Direct Debit for my membership fees with my bank with effect from the end date. Please do not present any further collections after that date, and please refund any fees already paid for the period after the end date.

I take it that the membership will not renew automatically after the date given above. Please keep this letter on file as proof that I cancelled in good time.

Yours faithfully,

What to look out for

A rolling monthly membership can usually be cancelled month to month, subject to the notice period in your agreement.
If you are still inside a fixed minimum term, the membership normally runs until the end of that term.
Moving away, or a long-term injury or illness? Say so in the reason — many gyms will release you early on those grounds.
