How to cancel your Blogilates subscription in australia: the complete 2024 guide
What Blogilates is and why cancellation makes sense
Blogilates is a fitness app and digital community platform built around pilates-inspired workouts, created by instructor Cassey Ho. The app delivers short follow-along video classes, monthly workout calendars, and progress tracking tools designed to help you build momentum with consistent exercise. You can download the app for free, but premium features-advanced calendar scheduling, structured challenges, and detailed journey tracking-sit behind a paid subscription wall.
Many Australian users subscribe because the workouts feel accessible and the community aspect keeps motivation high. However, subscriptions auto-renew every month or year, and that automatic renewal is where problems emerge. You might cancel because the monthly cost no longer aligns with your actual usage, your fitness goals have shifted, you prefer in-person or outdoor training, or you've experienced frustrating app glitches or device compatibility issues. Understanding your reason for cancellation helps you present a stronger case if you need to pursue a refund through consumer protection channels.
Common reasons australians cancel Blogilates
You may be considering cancellation for several practical reasons. Perhaps you subscribed hoping to replace a gym membership, only to discover you prefer outdoor running or live fitness classes. You may have signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel before the paid plan activated. Or the app may not run smoothly on your device, making it difficult to cast workouts to your television or causing unexpected logouts during sessions.
Cost sensitivity is equally real; subscriptions add up quickly, and if you use the app only once a week, your effective cost-per-session feels steep. When household budgets tighten, fitness subscriptions are often the first discretionary spending to cut. Yafee understands this dynamic and has helped thousands of Australian users navigate the cancellation process efficiently.
How Blogilates pricing works for australian users
Blogilates sets prices in US dollars on their app marketplace listings. The exact amount you pay in Australian dollars depends on the USD-AUD exchange rate on your billing date, which means your charge can vary between billing cycles. Most subscriptions renew automatically on the anniversary of your signup date, and your payment method (credit or debit card) is debited without additional notification.
| Subscription tier |
Billing cycle |
Approx. AUD (USD converted) |
What you get |
| Monthly membership |
Monthly (auto-renew) |
$18-22 |
Premium calendars, challenges, basic journey tracking |
| Annual membership |
Annual (auto-renew) |
$170-200 |
Same as monthly, billed once per year |
| Annual journey plan |
Annual (auto-renew) |
$240-280 |
Extended journey tracking, priority support (where available) |
| Free tier (ad-supported) |
N/A |
$0 |
Basic workouts, no premium calendar, community access only |
Remember that prices shown in USD on your app store listing will be converted by your payment processor (Apple, Google, or your bank) at their own exchange rate. Yafee recommends screenshotting the AUD amount shown in your app store before you purchase, so you have documented proof of the advertised price if you later need to dispute a charge.
Your consumer rights under australian law
Australian Consumer Law protects you when you purchase digital services like Blogilates subscriptions, and understanding these rights is essential before you cancel.
What australian consumer law says about digital subscriptions
Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which is enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), you are protected if the service you receive fails to meet acceptable quality standards or is unfit for its stated purpose. The ACL grants you the right to expect that a paid subscription service:
- Is safe, durable, and free from defects
- Performs as described by the provider in their marketing materials and terms of service
- Is fit for the purpose you were told it serves
- Is accompanied by clear, accurate billing and cancellation information
Importantly, if Blogilates fails to provide the service as promised-for example, if the app consistently crashes on your device or workouts are unavailable during the billing period-you have grounds to dispute the charge and request a refund under consumer law, regardless of their stated cancellation policy.
Your legal position on automatic renewal
Australian Consumer Law has specific rules about automatic renewal subscriptions. The law requires that companies:
- Obtain your express consent before charging you for the first time
- Provide clear, accessible cancellation instructions before you subscribe
- Send you a reminder notification before each automatic renewal charge
- Make the cancellation process as simple as the signup process
If Blogilates charged you without clear consent, failed to provide proper cancellation instructions, or made cancellation deliberately difficult, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC. Yafee has supported numerous Australian consumers in pursuing ACCC complaints to recover unwanted charges.
How to cancel your Blogilates subscription
Cancellation methods vary depending on whether you subscribed via the Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly through Blogilates; follow the correct method to ensure your cancellation is processed.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed to Blogilates on an Apple device, you must cancel through your Apple account settings, not through the Blogilates app itself.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Locate "Blogilates" in the list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Blogilates" and select "Cancel subscription"
- Choose your reason for cancellation (optional, but helpful for feedback)
- Confirm the cancellation
Apple will send you a confirmation email once the cancellation is processed. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period; after that date, your subscription expires and you revert to the free tier. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page for your records.
Cancel via google play store (Android)
If you subscribed on an Android device through Google Play, cancellation must occur in your Google Play settings.
- Open Google Play on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" then "Subscriptions"
- Find and tap "Blogilates"
- Tap "Cancel subscription"
- Select your cancellation reason
- Confirm the cancellation
Google Play will send you a confirmation email within minutes. Like Apple, your access remains active until the end of your current billing period. Keep your confirmation email as evidence of timely cancellation.
Cancel by contacting Blogilates directly
If you subscribed directly through Blogilates' website or cannot locate the subscription in your app store settings, contact their support team using the channels below.
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone (US-based): +1 512-766-9514
- Mailing address: 3125 Osgood Court, Fremont, California 94539, United States
When contacting Blogilates, include your full name, email address, account username, and subscription plan details. Explicitly state that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately or at the end of the current billing period (your choice). Request written confirmation of the cancellation via email. Yafee advises sending cancellation requests via email so you retain a timestamped record of your cancellation request.
If you cannot find your subscription
Sometimes subscriptions are buried in your app store settings, particularly if you signed up long ago. If you cannot locate Blogilates in your Apple or Google Play subscriptions, try these steps:
- Check the email address you use for your App Store or Google Play account matches the email registered with Blogilates
- Search for other apps by Blogilates (such as "Blogilates Plus" or regional variations)
- Contact your payment provider (your bank or credit card company) and ask them to identify all active subscriptions linked to your card
- Contact Blogilates support with your bank statement showing the charge, and ask them to cancel the subscription directly
After you cancel: what happens next
Cancellation is not instantaneous; understand the timeline and what to expect during the transition period.
Your access and billing timeline
When you cancel, you do not lose access immediately. Instead, your subscription continues until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel mid-month with a monthly subscription, you retain full access until the 1st of the next month. On that date, your subscription expires, and you automatically revert to the free tier of the Blogilates app (ad-supported, no premium features). No further charge will appear on your payment method after the expiration date.
How to confirm your cancellation
After cancelling, verify that the cancellation took effect by checking your subscription status.
- Return to your App Store or Google Play subscriptions page after 24 hours
- Confirm that Blogilates no longer appears in your active subscriptions list
- Review your bank statement or credit card activity 3-5 days after your expected expiration date to verify no further charges appear
- Open the Blogilates app and confirm you are logged into the free tier
If a charge appears after your expected cancellation date, contact your app store support immediately and file a dispute claim with your payment provider if necessary.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Cancellation halts future charges, but you may be eligible for a refund of the most recent subscription charge under specific circumstances.
When you can request a refund
You have grounds to request a refund if any of the following apply:
- You cancelled within 14 days of your first charge (for a trial or initial purchase)
- The app did not work as described and you did not receive the service you paid for
- You were charged without your explicit consent
- You cancelled in time, but Blogilates charged you after your cancellation date
How to request a refund through your app store
Apple and Google both allow you to request refunds for app store subscriptions within a specific timeframe.
For Apple App Store: Open the App Store, tap your profile, select "Purchase History," find the Blogilates charge, tap it, select "Report a Problem," and choose your reason (for example, "I didn't recognise this charge" or "The app didn't work as described"). Apple reviews your request and typically responds within 48 hours.
For Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile, select "Payments and subscriptions," find the Blogilates charge under "Subscriptions," tap it, select "Report a problem," explain your reason, and submit. Google typically responds within 2-3 business days.
If the app store declines your refund
If Apple or Google denies your refund, contact Blogilates directly at [email protected] with the following information:
- Your full name and account email address
- Your subscription plan and billing dates
- A clear explanation of why you believe a refund is warranted (for example, "The app crashed on my device and I could not access workouts")
- Screenshots or evidence of the issue (e.g., error messages, screenshots of crashed screens)
- Your refund request date and preferred resolution (partial or full refund)
Keep a copy of your email. Blogilates typically responds within 5-7 business days. If they refuse a refund you believe is warranted under Australian Consumer Law, escalate your complaint to the ACCC or lodge a dispute with your bank or credit card provider.
Disputing the charge with your bank or payment provider
If Blogilates or the app store does not refund you within 14 days, and you believe the charge was unfair or unauthorised, you can dispute the transaction with your bank or credit card provider. This process is called a chargeback, and it is your legal right under Australian Consumer Law and payment card schemes.
- Contact your bank or credit card company via their customer service number
- Explain the charge and your cancellation attempt
- Request a chargeback or dispute (some banks call this a "reversal")
- Provide any evidence of cancellation (confirmation emails, screenshots of cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing the disputed charge)
- Your bank will investigate and typically resolve within 30-45 days
Yafee has guided many Australian users through the chargeback process with successful outcomes.
Pricing comparison and what you save by cancelling

If cost is your primary concern, consider downgrading to the free tier first, which removes all charges while retaining access to basic workouts. Yafee recommends this approach if you think you may return to the app later.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay the process or result in unwanted charges.
Assuming deletion of the app counts as cancellation
Deleting the Blogilates app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription remains active in your app store account, and charges continue until you explicitly cancel through the app store or contact Blogilates directly. Reinstalling the app is not necessary to cancel; you can cancel entirely through your account settings without the app installed.
Cancelling on the wrong platform
If you subscribed on Apple but attempt to cancel on Google Play (or vice versa), your cancellation will not process because the subscription exists only on the platform where you purchased it. Verify which app store account you used at signup, then cancel through that same store. Check your email receipt from your first Blogilates charge to confirm the payment processor.
Delaying cancellation until after the renewal date
Subscriptions auto-renew on the anniversary of your signup date. If you cancel one day after that renewal, you have already been charged for the next month or year. Cancel at least 3-5 days before your expected renewal date to avoid an unwanted charge. Mark the renewal date in your phone calendar as a reminder.
Not requesting a refund if you were charged after cancelling
If you cancelled but Blogilates charged you anyway, do not assume the charge is permanent. You have the right to request a refund, and app stores refund unauthorized charges regularly. Contact support immediately with evidence of your cancellation.
Ignoring your confirmation email
Save and store your cancellation confirmation email permanently. If a dispute arises, this email is your proof of timely cancellation. Take a screenshot as well, in case the email is later deleted from your inbox.
Should you cancel or pause?
Before you cancel permanently, consider whether pausing might better suit your situation.
| Your situation |
Cancel |
Pause (or stay free) |
Why |
| Cost is too high, but you like the app |
|
Use free tier |
Free version retains all basic workouts; no charge, easy to re-subscribe later |
| You're traveling and won't use it for 2 months |
|
Contact support to pause |
Many apps offer pause options; saves money without losing your plan |
| You prefer other fitness apps |
Cancel |
|
No point in keeping an inactive subscription; clean break |
| The app doesn't work on your device |
Cancel + request refund |
|
Service failure; you deserve your money back under consumer law |
Blogilates does not formally offer a pause feature, but contacting support at [email protected] may yield a temporary hold on charges if you explain your situation. Yafee recommends trying this before full cancellation if you are uncertain about leaving permanently.
If standard cancellation methods fail or you encounter resistance, use these escalation channels.
Blogilates customer support
Direct your cancellation request to Blogilates via one or more of these methods:
- Email: [email protected] (allow 5-7 business days for response)
- Phone: +1 512-766-9514 (US-based, note time zone differences)
- Postal address: 3125 Osgood Court, Fremont, California 94539, United States
When writing by post, send your letter via registered mail so you can track delivery. Include all account details, your cancellation request date, and a request for written confirmation of cancellation.
Australian competition and consumer commission (ACCC)
If Blogilates ignores your cancellation request, refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to, or breaches Australian Consumer Law, lodge a complaint with the ACCC. You can file a complaint online at scamwatch.accc.gov.au, which costs nothing and typically results in ACCC contact with the company. The ACCC takes action against subscription services that engage in deceptive or unfair billing practices.
Your bank or payment provider
If Blogilates continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank's dispute team and request a chargeback. Your bank can reverse the charges and investigate the merchant.

Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and documented.
- Before cancelling: Note your subscription renewal date (check your email receipt or bank statement)
