Why do gyms require fax for cancellation?

Many gyms require written notice via fax or certified mail to create a legal paper trail for cancellation requests. Large chains like Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, and Gold's Gym often mandate this in their membership agreements. Using our online fax service lets you skip the post office while still meeting their certified mail or fax requirements.

How long does gym cancellation take?

Once your cancellation fax is delivered, most gyms process the request within 5-10 business days. However, depending on your contract terms, your membership may remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. We recommend canceling at least 2 weeks before your next billing date.

What if my gym doesn't accept fax?

While most major gym chains accept fax cancellations, some smaller gyms may require in-person visits or email. If your fax is rejected, we'll notify you immediately and refund your payment. You can then contact your gym directly for alternative cancellation methods.

Do I need to provide a reason for cancellation?

No, you don't need to provide a reason for canceling your gym membership. Our cancellation letter is professionally written to request cancellation without requiring you to explain why. Your membership agreement gives you the right to cancel.

Will I get confirmation that my cancellation was received?

Yes! XenFax provides real-time delivery confirmation. You'll see when your fax is sent, delivered, and confirmed. We recommend keeping this confirmation as proof of your cancellation request in case of any billing disputes.

What information do I need to cancel my gym membership?

You'll need your gym's fax number (usually found on their website or membership agreement), the gym's name and address, your full name as it appears on your membership, and a contact phone number. Our form guides you through providing all necessary information.
