How to cancel FitMe and protect your subscription rights in australia
What is FitMe and how does billing work
FitMe is a personalised workout app designed to function as your compact fitness coach for daily training routines. The service delivers tailored workout plans, short-format programmes and real-time progress tracking across multiple workout styles including pilates, strength training and mobility sessions. FitMe operates as a subscription service with auto-renewing charges and recurring payments processed through app store platforms.
From a billing perspective, FitMe functions like most digital fitness subscriptions: you purchase access through either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and your payment renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you actively cancel. This structure directly affects your cancellation rights and refund eligibility under Australian Consumer Law. Understanding how these payments work is your first step toward cancelling with confidence and protecting your financial interests.
At Yafee (yafee.com), we have assisted thousands of Australian consumers navigate digital subscription cancellations, and we understand that app-based services like FitMe frequently create confusion around billing, refunds and renewal dates. This guide walks you through every step of cancelling FitMe cleanly and explains your legal protections under the Australian Consumer Law (2010).
FitMe pricing and plan options
FitMe offers two main subscription tiers, each with automatic renewal enabled by default.
| Plan |
Billing cycle |
Price (AUD) |
Effective monthly cost |
Renewal |
| Monthly full access |
Monthly |
A$14.99 |
A$14.99 |
Automatic, each month |
| Annual full access |
Annual |
A$99.99 |
A$8.33 |
Automatic, each year |
The annual plan costs approximately 44% less per month than the monthly option, making it attractive if you are certain about your 12-month commitment. However, if you are uncertain about your fitness goals or budget, the monthly plan offers greater flexibility, despite the higher per-month rate. Both plans renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date.
How FitMe's auto-renewal system works
FitMe charges renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you actively cancel your subscription. Renewal charges typically post to your payment method several days before your scheduled renewal date. This timing is critical: if you want to avoid a charge, you must cancel before the renewal date, not after. Many users miss this window and are charged for another month or year they did not intend to purchase.
Because FitMe purchases are processed through app store platforms (Apple App Store or Google Play Store), the relevant app store handles your payment, not FitMe directly. This creates an additional layer in the payment chain and determines where you must go to cancel your subscription. You cannot cancel through FitMe's website alone; you must cancel through your app store account.
Your legal position under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law provides you with specific rights when cancelling digital subscriptions, and these rights apply to FitMe regardless of where the company is registered.
Consumer rights for automatic renewal subscriptions
Under the Australian Consumer Law (2010), you have the right to cancel an automatic renewal subscription at any time. The law does not require you to provide a reason for cancellation. Furthermore, the service provider must make cancellation at least as easy as the purchase process. If you purchased FitMe through a single tap or click, cancellation must be equally simple.
The Australian Consumer Law also protects you against "negative option" billing - a practice where companies charge recurring fees without explicit, informed consent before each charge. If FitMe failed to obtain clear consent before charging you, or if the company made cancellation deliberately difficult, you may have grounds to dispute the charge through your payment method or the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel FitMe at any time, without penalty or explanation. If FitMe refuses to cancel your subscription, or if the company continues charging after you cancel, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC or request a chargeback through your bank or credit card provider. You are also entitled to dispute any charge you did not authorise. Yafee (yafee.com) recommends keeping written evidence of your cancellation request and any responses from FitMe or the app store.
Your cancellation method depends on where you purchased FitMe: the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Both platforms allow you to cancel directly through your account settings.
Cancel FitMe through the apple app store (iPhone or iPad)
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Tap "FitMe" from the subscriptions list.
- Do not tap "Open App"; select the FitMe subscription entry itself.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit" (depending on iOS version).
- On newer iOS versions, tap the "Cancel Subscription" button directly.
- On older versions, tap "Edit", then "Cancel Subscription".
- Select a cancellation reason (optional, but the app may ask).
- Apple allows you to skip this step; reason selection does not affect cancellation.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Yes".
- The App Store will immediately mark your subscription as cancelled and send a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address.
Cancellation takes effect immediately. You retain access to FitMe until the end of your current billing cycle, after which your access will be revoked. No refund is issued for the unused portion of your current billing period unless you cancel within 14 days of purchase (new subscription purchase protection, covered below).
Cancel FitMe through google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap "Payments and subscriptions".
- This opens your subscription management hub.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You will see all active subscriptions on your Google Play account.
- Tap "FitMe" from the list.
- This opens the FitMe subscription details page.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" (the button at the bottom of the page).
- Google Play will prompt you to confirm the cancellation.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your decision.
- Google Play will immediately process the cancellation and send a confirmation email to your Google Account email address.
Like Apple, Google Play honours your cancellation immediately, and you retain access until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, FitMe will no longer be available to you, and no further charges will be applied.
Cancel FitMe via written notice (alternative method)
If you prefer to cancel in writing or if you encounter difficulties cancelling through your app store, you may submit a written cancellation request directly to FitMe. In accordance with FitMe's Terms and Conditions (Section 17), you must send a formal cancellation notice to the company's designated mailing address.
- Prepare a written cancellation letter in English.
- Include your full name, account email address, current subscription plan (monthly or annual), and the date you wish your cancellation to take effect.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my FitMe subscription effective [date]."
- Address the letter to FitMe's registered contact address (as published in their Terms and Conditions, Section 17).
- If FitMe lists a Romanian address, use that address as specified in the Terms.
- Write "Attn: FitMe Terms and Conditions of Use" or "Attn: Customer Service" as the attention line.
- Send the letter by registered mail or courier.
- Request a tracking number and signature confirmation so you have proof of delivery.
- Keep a copy of your letter and the delivery confirmation.
- This evidence protects you if FitMe disputes receiving your cancellation request.
- Allow 10-14 business days for processing.
- FitMe should confirm cancellation in writing within this timeframe.
Written cancellation provides a documented paper trail, which is valuable if you later need to dispute a charge or lodge a complaint with the ACCC. Yafee (yafee.com) recommends this method if you experience any difficulty cancelling through your app store.
What happens after you cancel FitMe
Cancellation is immediate, but your access does not terminate until the end of your current billing cycle.
Immediate post-cancellation status
Once you cancel, FitMe is marked as "cancelled" in your app store account, and no further charges will be processed. You will receive a confirmation email from your app store (Apple or Google) confirming the cancellation. Save this email for your records. Yafee (yafee.com) recommends screenshotting the email as additional backup evidence.
Access after cancellation
You retain full access to FitMe features until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancelled mid-cycle, you can continue using the app until that date arrives. Once your billing cycle ends, the app will either lock premium features or restrict your access entirely, depending on FitMe's design. You may still be able to view your past workout history and progress data, but you will not be able to download new workout plans or access premium content.
No automatic refund for unused time
Australian Consumer Law does not mandate refunds for unused portions of a subscription billing cycle, with one exception: the 14-day consumer guarantee. If you purchased FitMe for the first time and you cancel within 14 days of purchase, you may be entitled to a refund of the full subscription fee, provided you can demonstrate that the service did not meet your reasonable expectations. This applies only to new subscriptions, not renewals.
Refund for defective or misrepresented service
If FitMe is defective, does not perform as advertised, or is fundamentally misrepresented, you have the right to request a refund under the Australian Consumer Law. Defects include: the app crashing repeatedly, workouts not loading, progress data being lost, or features being unavailable despite being advertised. If you believe FitMe is defective, contact FitMe customer support and request a refund. If the company refuses, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC or your payment provider and request a chargeback.
Refund eligibility and timelines
Refund outcomes depend on when you cancel and the reason for your cancellation.
14-day new subscription refund
If you purchased FitMe for the first time within the last 14 days, you may qualify for a full refund. Submit a refund request to your app store with a brief explanation (for example, "The app does not meet my expectations" or "I did not intend to subscribe"). App stores typically process refund requests within 5-10 business days.
Refund for defective service
If you can demonstrate that FitMe is defective or not fit for purpose, you may request a refund at any time, even after 14 days. Document the defect with screenshots or videos. For example, if the app crashes when you attempt to start a workout, or if workouts fail to load, send evidence to FitMe customer support and request a refund. If FitMe refuses, escalate to your app store or bank.
No refund for change of mind after 14 days
If you cancel after 14 days for reasons other than a defect (for example, you simply changed your mind or lost interest), you are unlikely to receive a refund. Your subscription fee is non-refundable once the 14-day period expires, except where the service is defective. This is standard practice under Australian Consumer Law for subscription services.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling FitMe
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can leave you exposed to unexpected charges or billing disputes. We will walk you through the most common pitfalls so you can cancel with confidence.
Mistake 1: confusing app deletion with cancellation
Simply deleting the FitMe app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your app store subscription remains active, and you will be charged at the next renewal date. You must cancel the subscription through your app store account settings, not just uninstall the app. After you cancel through the app store, you may safely delete the FitMe app if you wish.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to the renewal date
If you cancel after your renewal charge has already been processed, that charge is locked in. Renewal charges typically post several days before your renewal date, so you must cancel at least 3-5 days in advance to avoid the next charge. Check your app store subscription details to identify your exact renewal date, then cancel well before that date. If you miss the window and are charged, request a refund from your app store immediately.
Mistake 3: forgetting to cancel if you switch payment methods
If you update your payment method on your app store account (for example, adding a new credit card), your FitMe subscription does not cancel automatically. The subscription remains active and will charge your new payment method at the next renewal date. If you are switching payment methods and no longer want FitMe, cancel the subscription before updating your payment details.
Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation email from your app store. If you are later charged after cancellation, this confirmation is your strongest piece of evidence for disputing the charge through your bank or the ACCC. Without proof of cancellation, disputing an unwanted charge becomes significantly harder.
Mistake 5: cancelling through FitMe's website instead of the app store
FitMe's website may not have a direct cancellation option (or it may be buried in an obscure settings page). The app store is the correct channel. If you attempt to cancel through FitMe's website and receive no response, you have not actually cancelled your subscription. Always cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play Store to ensure the cancellation is processed immediately.

Cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you have cancelled FitMe correctly and protected your interests.
- Identify your app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store).
- Log into your app store account on your device or at the official website.
- Navigate to "Subscriptions" and locate FitMe.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation.

What to do if FitMe refuses to cancel or continues charging
If you have cancelled through your app store but FitMe continues charging you, or if the company refuses to process your cancellation request, take these steps in order.
Step 1: request a refund through your app store
Contact Apple Support or Google Play Support and request a refund for the unwanted charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. App stores typically refund within 5-10 business days if you can prove you cancelled before the charge was processed. Yafee (yafee.com) recommends submitting your refund request within 48 hours of discovering the unwanted charge.
Step 2: request a chargeback through your bank
If the app store refuses to refund, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback. Explain that you cancelled your FitMe subscription but were charged after cancellation. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and bank statement. Banks can reverse the charge and issue a refund within 10-20 business days, depending on your institution.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the ACCC
If you are charged repeatedly despite cancellation requests, or if you believe FitMe is engaging in unlawful negative option billing, lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC investigates breaches of Australian Consumer Law and can compel FitMe to refund you or face enforcement action. Visit the ACCC website (accc.gov.au) and submit a formal complaint through their online reporting portal.
If you prefer to cancel in writing or if you encounter barriers cancelling through your app store, contact FitMe using the details below. In accordance with FitMe's Terms and Conditions (Section 17), submit your cancellation request in writing to the following address:
FitMe customer service
Attn: FitMe Terms and Conditions of Use
[Registered postal address as published in FitMe's Terms and Conditions]
Romania
Include your full name, account email, subscription plan, and the date you wish your cancellation to take effect. Send the letter by registered mail with signature confirmation, and keep a copy for your records. Allow 10-14 business days for processing.
