How to cancel CompTrain and reclaim control of your fitness routine
What CompTrain is and why cancellation matters
CompTrain is a subscription-based fitness application that delivers daily strength and conditioning programming, movement coaching videos, and performance leaderboards to individual athletes and gym owners across Australia and worldwide. The service operates on a tiered model: free access, Basic monthly plans, and Pro monthly or annual subscriptions for individuals, alongside separate programming agreements for gym affiliates and box owners.
You might decide to cancel for legitimate reasons. Perhaps the daily programming no longer aligns with your training objectives, you have found a gym program that better suits your needs, or you are managing your finances during a tight budget period. Whatever your reason, Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and reclaim their funds. We are here to guide you through CompTrain cancellation with precision and confidence.
How CompTrain billing operates
CompTrain subscriptions auto-renew on a monthly or annual cycle, depending on the plan you selected at sign-up. Free trials typically convert to paid subscriptions automatically unless you cancel before the trial period expires. The charge appears on your card or bank statement as either a CompTrain direct charge or an app-store charge (if you purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play), which affects how you cancel and where refunds originate.
Gym programming invoices and individual app subscriptions follow different billing rules. If your subscription was purchased through an app store, the app-store provider's refund and cancellation policies may override CompTrain's own terms. This distinction catches many Australian users off guard and is critical to understand before you proceed.
Why your cancellation timing matters
Timing is essential when you cancel CompTrain. If you are within a free trial period, cancellation before the trial ends prevents any charge. If you have already been charged, you must initiate cancellation as soon as possible to prevent the next billing cycle. Yafee recommends you cancel at least seven days before your next renewal date to avoid additional charges.
Your consumer rights under australian law
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) grants you statutory protections when purchasing digital products and subscriptions.
What the australian consumer law protects
Under the ACL, CompTrain must provide services of acceptable quality and match any representations made at the point of sale. If the service is faulty, misrepresented, or missing promised features, you can request a refund or credit within a reasonable time, regardless of CompTrain's standard cancellation policy. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces these rights on your behalf.
However, the ACL does not automatically entitle you to a refund simply because you change your mind about a working subscription. Cooling-off periods are limited for digital services unless CompTrain explicitly offers a trial refund guarantee in writing. If you subscribed within 14 days and the service is plainly faulty or misrepresented, you may have stronger grounds to dispute charges through your bank.
Your legal position
If CompTrain is faulty or misrepresented: You have the right to a refund or replacement under the ACL, independent of CompTrain's cancellation policy. Contact the ACCC or your state consumer affairs authority if CompTrain refuses.
If you simply change your mind: You have no automatic right to a refund unless CompTrain has explicitly offered a money-back guarantee. You must cancel before the next billing cycle to prevent further charges.
If you were charged after cancellation: Request a refund from CompTrain in writing. If they refuse, lodge a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer (known as a chargeback), citing cancellation confirmation as evidence.

How to cancel CompTrain step by step
CompTrain requires you to submit a written cancellation request to their office in Massachusetts, United States.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Open your CompTrain account (web or app) and locate your account details.
- Your full name as it appears on the account
- The email address registered to your account
- Your account number or user ID (if visible)
- Your current subscription plan (Basic, Pro, or other)
- Your next scheduled billing date
Take a screenshot of your account dashboard showing your plan and billing date. You will need this as evidence if a dispute arises.
Step 2: prepare your cancellation request in writing
- Compose a clear, formal email or letter that includes:
- Your full name and registered email address
- Your account ID or username
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my CompTrain subscription effective immediately" or "at the end of my current billing cycle"
- The date of your request
- Your signature (if sending by post)
Keep the message concise and professional. You do not need to explain your reason for cancelling, but stating a reason (such as "I am no longer using the service" or "I am cancelling to reduce my subscription costs") can strengthen your position if a dispute later arises.
Step 3: send your cancellation request via email
- Email your cancellation request to: [email protected]
- Use a subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Name]"
- Send from the email address registered to your CompTrain account
- Retain the email confirmation and any delivery receipt
Email is the fastest method and provides instant proof of delivery. CompTrain typically responds within 1-3 business days confirming cancellation.
Step 4: alternatively, send cancellation by registered post
- If you prefer to cancel by post or require additional formality, mail your written request to:
- CompTrain
- 15 Tech Circle
- Natick, MA 01760
- United States of America
- Use registered post or a postal service with tracking. This ensures proof of delivery in Australia.
- Allow 7-10 business days for your letter to reach Massachusetts and a further 3-5 business days for processing.
Keep your postal receipt and tracking number. This is your proof that you submitted cancellation in accordance with CompTrain's stated process.
Step 5: verify cancellation and monitor your account
- After sending your request, wait 3-5 business days for CompTrain to confirm cancellation via email.
- Log into your CompTrain account and check:
- Whether your subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive"
- Whether you can no longer access paid features (Pro programming, leaderboards, or coaching)
- Your billing date-it should no longer appear or should show "No upcoming renewal"
- Check your email and spam folder for a cancellation confirmation email from CompTrain.
If your account still shows as active after 5 business days, send a follow-up email to [email protected] referencing your original request date and asking for written confirmation of cancellation.
Refunds and your eligibility
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and why.
Refunds within the trial period
If you cancel CompTrain before your free trial ends, you will not be charged. No refund is necessary because no payment has been taken. Ensure you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period concludes to avoid the automatic conversion to a paid plan.
Refunds after you have been charged
If you cancel after CompTrain has charged your card or bank account, your eligibility for a refund depends on how long you have held the subscription and the reason you are cancelling.
- Annual plans: If you cancel within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under consumer protection law, provided you can demonstrate the service is faulty or misrepresented. Request this refund from CompTrain in writing within 14 days of your charge.
- Monthly plans: CompTrain does not offer refunds for monthly charges if you cancel mid-billing cycle, as the service is considered delivered. However, if the service is faulty or misrepresented, you can request a refund under the ACL (see "Your legal position" section above).
- Gym programming: Refund eligibility is determined by your individual contract with CompTrain. Check your agreement or contact them directly.
Yafee advises you to request a refund in writing within 14 days of your charge if you believe you are entitled. Include your cancellation request and reasoning. CompTrain will respond within 5-10 business days.
If CompTrain refuses your refund
If CompTrain denies your refund request and you believe you are entitled, escalate to your bank or credit card issuer.
- Contact your bank's dispute team and request a chargeback for the CompTrain charge.
- Provide your bank with:
- Your cancellation email (or postal proof) showing the cancellation date
- CompTrain's refusal email (if applicable)
- Your account screenshots showing the service was faulty or you cancelled within the statutory period
- A written statement explaining why you believe the charge was unauthorised or the service was defective
- Your bank will investigate and either credit your account or request further evidence from CompTrain.
This process typically takes 30-60 days. If your bank rules in your favour, the charge will be reversed. Yafee has seen thousands of consumers successfully recover funds through bank disputes when companies refused legitimate refund requests.
What to do after cancellation
Cancellation is not always instantaneous, and several steps will protect your account and finances after you submit your request.
Protect your account from accidental resubscription
After cancellation, take these steps to prevent unexpected charges if CompTrain restarts your subscription or if payment details are compromised.
- Change your CompTrain account password to a unique, strong passphrase.
- Review the payment methods linked to your account and remove any stored credit or debit cards.
- Disable automatic login and two-factor authentication if you will not use the free tier.
- Delete the CompTrain app from your phone or tablet if you no longer need it.
Monitor your bank account
For the next 30 days after cancellation, monitor your bank or credit card statement for any CompTrain charges.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, take a screenshot immediately.
- Contact CompTrain at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation and the screenshot, requesting an immediate refund.
- If CompTrain does not refund within 5 business days, lodge a chargeback with your bank.
Reassuringly, once you cancel and your account is deactivated, subsequent charges are rare. However, billing systems can lag, and staying vigilant protects you.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward, but several avoidable errors can delay or prevent your cancellation from taking effect.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the app instead of in writing
Many fitness apps allow you to cancel through the mobile interface, but CompTrain does not. If you attempt to cancel within the app, the request may not reach CompTrain's cancellation team. You must submit a written request (email or post) to the official address or email address. Always confirm receipt of your cancellation request before assuming it has been processed.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation takes effect immediately
CompTrain's cancellation process takes 3-5 business days to process. During this window, your subscription remains active and you may be billed for the next cycle if your renewal date falls within this period. To avoid this, cancel at least seven days before your next billing date.
Mistake 3: not retaining proof of cancellation
Always keep a copy of your cancellation email, the timestamp, and any confirmation response from CompTrain. If a dispute arises, this evidence is invaluable. Yafee recommends you create a folder on your computer labelled "Subscription Cancellations" and save all related emails and screenshots there.
Mistake 4: cancelling from the wrong email address
If you send your cancellation request from an email address that is not registered to your CompTrain account, CompTrain may reject it or fail to identify your account. Always send cancellation requests from the email address you used to sign up.
Mistake 5: forgetting to cancel if you purchased through an app store
If you subscribed to CompTrain through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that app store's subscription management portal, not directly with CompTrain. Check "Settings" on your phone and navigate to your app subscriptions. Cancel from there first, then send a confirmation email to [email protected].
If you purchased CompTrain through an app store
Cancellation differs slightly if you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play rather than directly via CompTrain's website.
Cancellation via apple app store (iOS)
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings and tap your name at the top.
- Select "Subscriptions" and find CompTrain in the list.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email.
- Email [email protected] with your Apple order number and cancellation date for additional confirmation.
Your access to CompTrain ends at the end of your current billing period. Apple processes refunds directly; you do not receive money back immediately, but Apple credits your account within 3-5 business days if the subscription was cancelled within 14 days of purchase.
Cancellation via google play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon.
- Select "Payments and Subscriptions" and then "Subscriptions".
- Find CompTrain and tap "Manage Subscription".
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Google will send you a cancellation confirmation.
- Email [email protected] with your Google order number and cancellation date.
Google Play processes refunds similarly to Apple: within 14 days of purchase, you may be eligible for a full refund to your Google Play balance or linked payment method.
Important: app store cancellations do not necessarily cancel your CompTrain account
Cancelling through Apple App Store or Google Play only stops billing through that platform. Your CompTrain account may remain active, allowing CompTrain to contact you about resubscription. To fully disable your account, also send a written cancellation email to [email protected]. This ensures complete separation from CompTrain's marketing and account systems.
How to pursue a refund if CompTrain refuses
If CompTrain denies your refund request and you believe the denial is unjustified, you have legal remedies under Australian consumer law.
Step 1: request escalation within CompTrain
- Send a formal follow-up email to [email protected] referencing your original refund request.
- State your grounds: either you cancelled within 14 days (if an annual plan), the service was faulty, or the service was misrepresented.
- Reference the ACL and ask for written justification of their refusal.
- Set a deadline of 7 days for a response.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the ACCC
If CompTrain does not respond or maintains its refusal, lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) at www.accc.gov.au.
- Provide your CompTrain account details, cancellation date, refund request, and CompTrain's response.
- Explain why you believe CompTrain has breached the Australian Consumer Law.
- The ACCC will contact CompTrain on your behalf and investigate.
- The ACCC's investigation typically concludes within 30-60 days.
Complaints to the ACCC are free and require no legal representation. The regulator has the power to issue compliance notices and take action against companies that breach consumer law repeatedly.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
Independently of the ACCC process, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback for the CompTrain charge.
- Explain that you cancelled the subscription and CompTrain refused to refund.
- Provide your cancellation email, CompTrain's refusal (if any), and your ACCC complaint reference (if applicable).
- Your bank will investigate and either credit your account or request further information from CompTrain.
- Most banks resolve chargebacks within 30-60 days.
You can pursue both the ACCC complaint and the chargeback simultaneously. They operate independently, and both provide pathways to recover your funds if CompTrain is in the wrong.
