How to cancel your Les Mills subscription in australia

Why Les Mills subscribers cancel and what you need to know first

Les Mills is a global fitness brand that delivers instructor-led workout classes through physical gyms and a digital streaming platform called LES MILLS+. You access workouts on-demand from home, or your local gym may licence Les Mills classes as part of their timetable. The service operates two separate billing models: direct-to-consumer digital subscriptions (which you control) and memberships through partner gyms or third-party app stores (which intermediaries control). This distinction matters because your cancellation route and refund eligibility depend entirely on where you subscribed.

You might want to cancel for several reasons: unexpected price increases, low usage, switching to a different fitness service, or simply reassessing your fitness budget. Whatever your reason, understanding your rights under Australian Consumer Law and your cancellation options protects you from being charged after you have decided to leave. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these exact billing splits, and we know that clarity on your specific subscription type is the first step to a smooth cancellation.

How Les Mills subscriptions work in australia

Les Mills subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly or annual cycle. Once you pay for a billing period, you retain access until that period ends, even if you cancel beforehand. The company's standard policy does not provide refunds for unused time after purchase, though Australian Consumer Law may offer protections in certain circumstances. Your renewal date appears on your invoice and account dashboard, and knowing this date is critical to timing your cancellation correctly.

Why subscription type determines your cancellation path

If you subscribed directly through the LES MILLS+ website or app, Les Mills controls your billing relationship and you cancel directly with them. If you subscribed through a partner gym, reseller, or in-app store (Apple, Google Play, Samsung), that intermediary controls your billing relationship. Your cancellation request and any refund claim must go to the party that charged your card. Identifying your subscription type takes two minutes but saves you weeks of back-and-forth with the wrong company.

Understanding your consumer rights under australian law

Australian Consumer Law protects you in specific circumstances when cancelling digital subscriptions.

Your legal position

Under the Australian Consumer Law (schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010), you have the right to cancel a digital subscription within 14 days of purchase if you have not substantially used the service. However, this right does not apply if the supplier had already started providing the service with your express consent before the 14-day period expired. After 14 days, you have no automatic right to cancel and recover your money unless the service fails to meet the Consumer Guarantees (fit for purpose, merchantable quality, accurate representation). Consequently, if you signed up three months ago, you cannot rely on the 14-day cooling-off period; you must cancel to stop future charges, but you will not recover past payments. If you subscribed through a partner gym or app store, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has jurisdiction over misleading billing practices, hidden charges, and defective cancellation processes.

When australian consumer law protects you

You are protected if you can prove that Les Mills or the intermediary engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct, such as:

• Failing to disclose automatic renewal terms clearly before charging your card;
• Making it significantly harder to cancel than to subscribe;
• Charging you after you cancelled because the cancellation system failed;
• Misrepresenting the features or scope of the service in marketing materials.

If any of these apply to your situation, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the ACCC and request a refund. Yafee recommends documenting all communications and screenshots of the subscription terms and billing history before you escalate.

Direct cancellation methods for Les Mills subscribers

Your cancellation route depends on where and how you subscribed.

Cancelling a direct LES mILLS+ subscription online

If you subscribed directly through the LES MILLS+ website or mobile app, you can cancel your account instantly via your account dashboard. This is the fastest and most convenient method. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your LES MILLS+ account on the website or mobile app using your email and password.
2. Navigate to "My Account" or "Account Settings" (usually found in the top-right menu or profile icon).
3. Select "Subscription" or "Billing" from the menu options.
4. Look for "Subscription Details" or "Current Plan" and click "Manage Subscription".
5. Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your decision.
6. You will receive an on-screen confirmation and an email confirming the cancellation.
7. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period; you will not be charged for the next cycle.

Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation for your records. This serves as proof if any further charges appear on your card.

Cancelling via email

If you cannot access your online account or prefer a documented written record, you can cancel by email. This method creates a clear paper trail and takes 2-5 business days.

1. Compose an email to Les Mills' support address (contact details below).
2. Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and account number (found on your invoice or in your account dashboard).
3. State clearly: "I wish to cancel my Les Mills subscription effective [date] and request confirmation of cancellation."
4. Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation and the date it becomes effective.
5. Send the email and retain a copy in your records.
6. Wait for their response confirming the cancellation and the final billing date.

Email cancellation is particularly useful if you suspect the company may dispute your cancellation request later or if you are claiming a refund under Australian Consumer Law.

Cancelling by postal mail

Postal cancellation provides the strongest legal record but takes the longest. You should use this method if you are pursuing a refund claim or if the online and email methods have failed.

1. Write a formal letter on plain paper or your personal letterhead.
2. Include the following details:
   • Your full name and address;
   • Your email address and account number;
   • The date of your letter;
   • A clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Les Mills subscription effective immediately and request written confirmation of cancellation and the final billing date."
3. Send the letter via Australia Post to the address below, using registered mail or another tracked service (this proves delivery).
4. Keep a copy of the letter and the Australia Post receipt.
5. Allow 7-14 business days for processing.

Consequently, registered mail costs slightly more but gives you undeniable proof that Les Mills received your cancellation request on a specific date.

Cancelling through a partner gym or third-party app store

If you subscribed through a partner gym, reseller, or in-app store, you must cancel with that entity, not with Les Mills directly.

1. Check your most recent invoice or account statement to identify who charged your card.
2. If charged by your gym, contact their membership desk or customer service and ask to cancel your Les Mills add-on or membership.
3. If charged by Apple, Google Play, or Samsung, open the app store account settings on your device:
   • Apple App Store: Settings > [Your name] > Subscriptions > Les Mills > Cancel Subscription;
   • Google Play: Google Play Store > Account > Subscriptions > Les Mills > Cancel;
   • Samsung Galaxy Store: My Apps > Subscriptions > Les Mills > Cancel.
4. Request written confirmation from the intermediary that the subscription has been cancelled and no further charges will be made.

Third-party billing complicates your situation because Les Mills does not control your payment data; the app store or gym does. Cancelling through the wrong channel means you will still be charged. Take extra care to identify and cancel with the correct entity.

Les Mills pricing and billing structure

Understanding what you are paying and when you are charged helps you time your cancellation correctly.

Note that prices vary slightly depending on promotion codes and billing region. Your invoice shows your exact renewal date and amount charged. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for three days before your renewal date so you have time to cancel before the charge posts.

What happens after you cancel

Your access and billing do not end immediately after cancellation; they end on the last day of your paid billing period.

The cancellation timeline

Once you cancel, the following occurs:

• Your cancellation is processed within 1-2 business days if you cancelled online.
• You retain full access to LES MILLS+ until the end of your current billing cycle.
• No further charges will be applied to your card after this date.
• You will receive a final invoice for the last billing period (if you are owed a credit, it will appear here).
• Your account may be automatically deleted 30-90 days after the cancellation date.

If you cancelled mid-cycle and no longer want access before the end date, you cannot delete your account yourself; contact support to request early access termination (though you will not receive a refund).

Check your next billing statement

Verify your bank or credit card statement on the date your next renewal was scheduled. You should see no charge from Les Mills or the intermediary. If a charge appears, contact your bank immediately and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email. Your bank can initiate a chargeback or dispute on your behalf.

Refund eligibility and recovery options

Refunds are not automatic, but you may have grounds to claim one in specific circumstances.

When you cannot recover money

If you cancelled after your 14-day cooling-off window expired and the service performed as described, Les Mills' standard terms do not entitle you to a refund for the subscription fee. However, you stop future charges immediately upon cancellation. Consequently, if you subscribed two months ago and cancel today, you lose the initial two months of fees but avoid another 12 months of unnecessary charges.

When you can claim a refund

You have grounds to request a refund if:

• You cancelled within 14 days of purchase and had not substantially used the service;
• Les Mills failed to disclose automatic renewal terms before charging you;
• The service was misrepresented (for example, the class library was significantly smaller than advertised);
• You were charged after you cancelled because the cancellation system failed;
• The company engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct under Australian Consumer Law.

To pursue a refund, gather the following evidence:

1. Your original purchase invoice showing the subscription date and terms;
2. Screenshots of the product page showing what was promised at the time you subscribed;
3. Proof of cancellation (email confirmation, cancellation screenshot, or registered mail receipt);
4. Bank or credit card statements showing the charges;
5. Copies of all support communications with Les Mills or the intermediary.

Email this evidence to Les Mills' support address and state your refund claim clearly. Allow 5-10 business days for a response. If they refuse, you can escalate to the ACCC, which investigates breaches of Australian Consumer Law and can mandate refunds or compensation.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Most consumers cancel successfully without complications, but a few critical errors can leave you stranded or charged unexpectedly.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel

If you subscribed through an app store or partner gym and you cancel directly on the Les Mills website, your account may show as cancelled to you but your app store subscription remains active. Result: you continue to be charged. Always check your invoice to identify who charged your card and cancel with that entity.

Mistake 2: confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your personal data, payment methods, and transaction history remain in the system. If you want complete data removal, contact support separately and request account deletion. Some consumers believe deletion equals cancellation and are shocked to find they were still charged.

Mistake 3: not confirming the cancellation in writing

If you cancelled online and did not take a screenshot, you have no proof if a dispute arises. Always request or capture written confirmation of your cancellation date and your final billing date. This single document can resolve billing disputes in seconds.

Mistake 4: cancelling too early in your cycle

Cancelling on day 1 of a monthly cycle means you lose access to 29 days of paid content. Cancelling on day 28 costs you nothing extra. Always check your renewal date before cancelling and time it as close as possible to the renewal date.

Mistake 5: failing to check for charges after cancellation

Technical glitches occasionally cause charges to post even after successful cancellation. Check your statement on the expected renewal date. If an unauthorised charge appears, contact your bank within 90 days to dispute it.

Should you keep or cancel Les Mills

Before you proceed with cancellation, weigh the genuine costs and benefits of staying.

If you are on an annual plan and considering cancellation, calculate the monthly cost of the remaining balance. If you have paid $120 upfront and cancel after six months, you have effectively paid $20 per month for the full year, regardless of early cancellation. In this case, you might decide to use the remaining six months rather than abandon the investment. Conversely, if you are on a monthly plan and have not used it in two months, cancelling today saves you $26-34 per month indefinitely.

Your cancellation contact details and mailing address

Use these official contact details to cancel your Les Mills subscription by email or postal mail.

Email support

Send your cancellation request to Les Mills customer support. Include your account details and a clear statement of your request to cancel. Expect a response within 2-5 business days.

Postal address for cancellation

If you prefer to cancel by registered mail, send your letter to:

Les Mills Australia
PO Box 3998
Manuka ACT 2603
Australia

Alternatively, you can contact their office address for urgent matters:

38 Thesiger Court
Deakin ACT 2600
Australia

Allow 7-14 business days for processing after mail arrives. Use Australia Post's registered mail or tracking service to confirm delivery.

Escalation to the ACCC

If Les Mills refuses your cancellation request or fails to stop billing after you cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The ACCC investigates breaches of Australian Consumer Law and can mandate refunds or compensation. Visit the ACCC website to submit a complaint online.
