Have you succumbed to Crunch Fitness’s sales and gimmicks? If so, you are not alone.
Crunch Fitness and many other big-box gym chains lure customers in with their low prices. However, once they have you, they do little to keep you. Classes are few and far between. The most popular machines are always busy. The amenities are lackluster.
Eventually, you realize you got what you paid for, and it is time to move on. Unfortunately, Crunch Fitness does not make canceling your membership very easy. In fact, cancellation policies and processes vary by location.
In this article, you will learn all the ways to cancel your Crunch Fitness membership, regardless of which club you are a member of.
How to cancel your Crunch Fitness membership
Crunch Fitness’s main website has a Frequently Asked Questions page that instructs you how to cancel your membership. However, the directions are quite confusing, which is why there are Facebook groups and SubReddit threads dedicated to this topic.
Read below to learn about the four options for canceling your membership.
1. Portal Cancellation
If your local Crunch club allows online cancellation, you can complete the process via the online portal. Look for Manage Membership or Account Settings. Once you click on one of those, select Cancel Membership. You may be asked to confirm that you truly want to cancel. Check and see if there are any remaining fees. You may be billed for the following month if you have not given 30 days' notice or are cancelling before your contract is up.
2. Online Cancellation
You can contact Crunch Fitness through their website to request a cancellation if you can’t cancel through your portal.
- Click on the circle that says Manage Your Current Membership and then the Continue button.
- A map will pop up, and you’ll need to type in your zip code or city. Next, click the Start button.
- The next page that appears is the question about how they can help you with membership. You are then given a list of choices — Upgrade/Renewal, Billing, Membership Privileges, Freeze, or Something Else.
- Select Something Else, and write a note in the box provided requesting cancellation of your membership. Press the button that says Next.
- Complete the form that asks for your name, membership barcode number, home club, phone number, and email address. Click the Next button one last time, and your message to request a cancellation will be completed.
- You should receive an email shortly to help you process the cancellation.
3. Phone Cancellation
You can call your local Crunch Fitness gym and speak to a staff member to request your cancellation. Make sure you connect with a person who has the seniority to manage your membership. Be prepared to iterate on your decision to cancel and make sure to ask about any remaining expenses. Have your membership ID or billing details available to share with the employee. Request an email to confirm your cancellation.
4. In-Person Cancellation
Although it will require an extra trip, go to your Crunch gym to cancel your membership for the most immediate results. You may want to call in advance to confirm there are staff members authorized to process cancellations. Be prepared for your meeting by bringing any records you have about your membership with you. Request and complete the cancellation form. Request proof of cancellation via printed or emailed documentation.
