Why Anytime Fitness cancellation varies so much
Anytime Fitness operates on a franchise model, meaning each location is independently owned and sets its own membership terms within franchise guidelines. This is why one person's cancellation experience differs completely from another's. Your contract is with your specific home club, and you must cancel through that location using their stated method. Always request the cancellation policy in writing.
If your Anytime Fitness keeps billing you
If you submitted proper written notice and are still being charged, dispute the charge with your bank using your certified mail return receipt as proof. Because franchises use third-party billing companies (often ABC Financial), also contact the billing company directly in writing.
