Cancel Equinox - step by step
Equinox annual memberships carry early termination fees

If you are in the commitment period of an annual membership, canceling early triggers a fee. The notice requirement (often 45 days) means you cannot cancel same-day. Plan ahead around your billing date.

Equinox cancellation policy in detail

Equinox is a premium gym with premium cancellation friction. Month-to-month members typically need 45 days written notice. Annual commitment members owe the remaining balance or an early termination fee if canceling before the commitment ends. The initiation fee (often several hundred dollars) is never refundable. Always get your cancellation confirmed in writing - verbal confirmations from front desk staff are frequently not processed.

If Equinox keeps charging after cancellation

Equinox billing disputes are common. If you submitted written notice and are still charged beyond your final billing date, dispute the charge with your credit card using your written cancellation confirmation as evidence. File a complaint with your state attorney general if the charges continue.
