Frequently asked questions
Cancel Best Fitness: The Right Way
How to cancel Best Fitness and reclaim your money
Why you might want to cancel Best Fitness
Best Fitness operates gym memberships across Australia, providing access to gym floors, group classes, studio programmes, and optional add-ons like personal training. If you've committed to a membership and now want to exit, you're facing a cancellation process that often feels deliberately opaque. Many Australian members discover unexpected charges like annual enhancement fees (approximately AUD$73) appearing on top of regular dues, prompting a hard look at whether they're getting value from their membership.
At Yafee, we've helped thousands of consumers navigate fitness cancellations by breaking down your rights and the exact steps you need to take. This guide walks you through Best Fitness cancellation, your refund entitlements, and the common traps that keep members locked in unwanted charges.
Common reasons members cancel
You might cancel because you've relocated interstate, switched to a competing gym, discovered the facility doesn't match your fitness goals, or simply want to pause your membership. You may also have noticed surprise charges on your statement that prompted you to reassess the value proposition.
The reality of Best Fitness cancellations
Members report inconsistent experiences when cancelling. Some describe smooth exits after notifying their local gym manager in person. Others encounter delayed refunds, continued billing after requesting cancellation, and confusion caused by external billing processors. The difference typically comes down to documentation, timing, and knowing exactly where to send your written request.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law protects you when cancelling memberships and subscriptions. Understanding these rights strengthens your position before you take action.
Cooling-off rights and contract cancellation
If you signed your Best Fitness membership agreement in person at a club, you may have a cooling-off period under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). This typically allows you to cancel without penalty within 10 to 14 calendar days from the date you entered the contract, provided you do so in writing. Check your membership paperwork for the exact cooling-off window and any conditions that apply.
If you signed online or over the phone, the ACL provides similar protections. Your cancellation right is strongest within the cooling-off window. After that window closes, your cancellation rights depend on the specific terms you agreed to at signup.
Refund rights and disputed charges
You have a legal right to request a refund for services you haven't yet received. If you cancel mid-month and your membership agreement allows proration, you should receive a credit for the unused portion. If Best Fitness refuses to prorate or acknowledge your cancellation, the Australian Consumer Law protects you. You can lodge a dispute with your bank (as a chargeback), or escalate to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) if the company continues charging after you've requested cancellation in writing.
Your legal position: Under the ACL, a business cannot continue charging you after you've provided clear written notice of cancellation. Keep copies of every request you send (email confirmation receipts, postal tracking numbers). This documentation is essential if you need to prove you cancelled and the gym continued billing without authorisation.
How Best Fitness memberships are structured
Understanding your membership plan and billing cycle is critical to cancelling without losing money to unused fees.
Membership types and typical costs
Best Fitness offers multiple membership tiers across its Australian clubs. Exact pricing varies by location and plan type, but the table below outlines the structure you'll encounter.
| Membership type | What's included | Typical billing cycle | Annual add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic gym access | Floor access, standard equipment | Monthly (AUD$25-45) | Enhancement fee (~AUD$73) |
| Plus (standard) | Floor access, classes, locker | Monthly (AUD$50-70) | Enhancement fee (~AUD$73) |
| Premium studio access | All amenities, studio classes, priority booking | Monthly (AUD$80-120) | Enhancement fee (~AUD$73) |
| Annual prepaid | Discounted rate on 12-month commitment | Single annual payment (AUD$400-900) | Enhancement fee (~AUD$73) |
Why enhancement fees surprise members
Best Fitness charges an annual enhancement fee (around AUD$73) which appears as a separate line item on your statement. This fee funds facility maintenance, equipment upgrades, and insurance. Many members don't expect this charge or miss it in the fine print of their membership agreement. If you're cancelling partly because of this surprise cost, Yafee recommends reviewing your membership terms before proceeding - this context will strengthen your cancellation request if you believe the fee wasn't clearly disclosed.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Best Fitness requires written cancellation notice. Follow these exact steps to ensure your request is processed and documented.
Step 1: gather your membership details
- Locate your membership card or account confirmation email from Best Fitness.
- Write down your full name, membership number (if you have one), and account email address.
- Note the date you joined and your current monthly billing date.
- If you have an outstanding payment or balance due, make a note of it - you'll need this information when you submit your cancellation.
Step 2: prepare your written cancellation request
Best Fitness requires written notice of cancellation. You cannot cancel over the phone or through a casual conversation with gym staff. Prepare a clear, dated letter or email that includes the following information.
- Your full legal name (as it appears on your membership agreement).
- Your membership number (if available) or order number.
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Best Fitness membership effective immediately" (or state your preferred end date).
- The date of your request.
- Your contact phone number and email address.
- If you're entitled to a refund (e.g., within the cooling-off period or for unused fees), state: "I request a pro-rata refund for unused membership fees."
Keep the tone professional and factual. Avoid complaints or emotional language; focus on the cancellation request itself. Yafee recommends sending your request as an email (for automatic timestamp evidence) and also by post to the registered address - this dual approach maximises the chance your request is received and documented.
Step 3: send your cancellation to the correct address
Best Fitness Equipment Pty Ltd (ABN #16624399337) receives cancellation requests at its warehouse and distribution centre:
Best Fitness Equipment Pty Ltd
6 Leeds Street
Woodville North SA 5012
Australia
Send your cancellation request by both email (if an email address is listed on your invoice or membership page) and by registered post to the address above. In your email subject line, write: "Membership cancellation request - [Your Name] - [Membership Number]". If you're sending by post, use Australia Post Registered Mail (signature on delivery) so you have proof of receipt. Keep the tracking receipt.
Step 4: document your submission
- Take a screenshot of your email confirmation (timestamp and delivery notification) if you submit by email.
- Keep the postal tracking number if you send registered mail.
- Write down the date and time you sent the request.
- Save a copy of the exact text of your cancellation letter.
- Note the method (email, post, or both) you used.
This documentation is your proof that you cancelled. If Best Fitness continues to bill you after receiving your written request, you'll need this evidence to dispute charges with your bank or escalate to the ACCC.
Step 5: monitor your account for charge cessation
- Wait 5 to 10 business days after submitting your cancellation request.
- Check your email for a confirmation of cancellation from Best Fitness. If you don't receive confirmation within 10 days, contact them again (in writing) and reference your original request date.
- Check your bank or credit card statement on your normal billing date. Verify that no charge appears on or after your requested cancellation date.
- If a charge does appear after your cancellation request, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and provide them with a copy of your cancellation request.
Refund entitlements and timeline
Your refund depends on when you cancel and the terms of your membership agreement.
Cooling-off period refunds (within 14 days)
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of signing your membership agreement, you're entitled to a full refund of any upfront fees you paid. Best Fitness must process this refund within 30 days of receiving your written cancellation request. If they don't, you can escalate to your bank or the ACCC.
Pro-rata refunds (after cooling-off period)
If you cancel after the cooling-off period ends, you're entitled to a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of your membership in the current billing month. For example, if your monthly membership costs AUD$60 and you cancel on the 20th of a 30-day month, you should receive a credit of approximately AUD$24 for the remaining 10 days.
Best Fitness may issue this credit as a direct refund to your original payment method, or as a credit note against future charges if you rejoin. Clarify the refund method in your cancellation request: "I request a refund to my original payment method [bank account or credit card ending in XXXX]."
Expected refund timeline
Best Fitness should process refunds within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request. If 30 days pass and you haven't received your refund, contact them in writing again and request confirmation of the refund status. If they don't respond within a further 14 days, lodge a dispute with your bank or contact the ACCC.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation
Most members who struggle with Best Fitness cancellation make one or more of these avoidable errors. The good news is that knowing these traps helps you avoid them entirely.
Mistake 1: asking the gym manager in person without written follow-up
Speaking to a gym manager or staff member is not enough. Best Fitness requires written cancellation notice. If you ask verbally, the company has no documented record of your request, and billing often continues. Always follow up any verbal request with a formal written letter or email within 24 hours. Yafee strongly recommends starting with the written request - don't rely on verbal communication.
Mistake 2: sending cancellation to the local gym instead of head office
Many members email or mail their cancellation request to their local Best Fitness gym. Local staff don't process cancellations; they must be forwarded to head office, which causes delays and sometimes lost requests. Always send cancellation directly to the registered office address (6 Leeds Street, Woodville North SA 5012). This ensures your request reaches the right department first.
Mistake 3: not keeping copies of your request
If you can't prove you cancelled, the onus falls on you to dispute charges with your bank. Email receipts and postal tracking numbers are your evidence. Without them, Best Fitness can claim they never received your cancellation. Save everything.
Mistake 4: cancelling on the day before your next billing date
Billing cycles vary, and if your cancellation request arrives after your next billing cycle has been processed, you'll be charged one more time. Submit your cancellation request at least 5 business days before your expected billing date. Check your most recent statement for the exact billing date, then calculate backwards.
Mistake 5: not mentioning pro-rata refunds in your request
If you don't explicitly ask for a refund in your cancellation letter, Best Fitness may assume you're only requesting cessation of future charges. Always include a clear sentence: "I request a pro-rata refund for any unused membership fees from [date] to [date]."
After cancellation: what to expect
Your cancellation is processed, but a few steps remain to confirm your exit is complete and your account is fully closed.
Confirming cancellation receipt
Best Fitness should send you an email or letter confirming receipt of your cancellation request within 5 business days. If you don't receive this, contact them again in writing and ask for written confirmation of the cancellation date. This is your record that the company acknowledges your request.
Verifying charges have stopped
On your next billing date, check your bank or credit card statement. If no charge appears from Best Fitness, your cancellation was successful. If a charge does appear, contact your bank immediately to dispute it. Provide your bank with a copy of your cancellation request and the company's confirmation of cancellation (if you received one).
Requesting your final account statement
After your cancellation is processed, ask Best Fitness for a final account statement showing all charges up to the cancellation date and confirmation that no further charges will be made. This document protects you if a disputed charge appears months later.
Escalation: what to do if Best Fitness refuses to cancel
If Best Fitness ignores your written cancellation request or continues billing after you've cancelled, you have formal escalation routes.
Step 1: formal dispute letter
Send a second written request to Best Fitness, this time labeling it "Final cancellation notice" and referencing the date of your original request. State: "I submitted a written cancellation request on [date]. If this request was not processed, I am reiterating my cancellation effective immediately. Continued charges after this date will be disputed with my bank and reported to the ACCC." Send this by registered post.
Step 2: bank dispute (chargeback)
If charges continue after your cancellation request, contact your bank and request a chargeback dispute. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation letter, postal tracking receipts, and email confirmations. Most banks will reverse the disputed charges and investigate the merchant. Best Fitness will then have to respond to your bank's inquiry.
Step 3: ACCC complaint
If Best Fitness refuses to stop charging or acknowledge your cancellation after you've attempted two written requests and disputed charges with your bank, lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). You can file a complaint online at accc.gov.au or by phone. The ACCC investigates breaches of the Australian Consumer Law and can compel businesses to refund disputed charges.
