How to cancel your Trainerize subscription in australia
What Trainerize is and why you might cancel
Trainerize is a software platform that connects fitness coaches, studios and their clients through mobile and web applications. The service manages workout programming, progress tracking, nutrition tools, client messaging and payments in one integrated system. You might use Trainerize as a coach managing multiple clients, as a studio operator running a fitness business, or as a trainee accessing programs through your trainer's account.
The platform offers tiered subscriptions for coaches and studios, with complimentary access for trainees invited by their trainer or business. If you have decided to cancel your subscription because you are no longer using the platform, changing coaches, or reducing costs, this guide will walk you through the process and help you protect your rights as an Australian consumer. At Yafee, we specialise in helping people like you navigate cancellations with confidence.
Common reasons for cancelling Trainerize
Most Australian consumers cancel Trainerize when switching to a different fitness platform, concluding their coaching relationship, reducing business expenses or discovering the service does not meet their needs. Whatever your reason, cancelling should be straightforward, and you deserve clear information about what happens next. Yafee understands the cancellation process and helps you protect your consumer rights throughout.
Key facts about Trainerize billing in australia
Trainerize displays all pricing in United States dollars (USD) on their official website. Payments are processed through third-party payment processors such as Stripe or Recurly. Your Australian bank will convert USD charges to AUD at the prevailing exchange rate, which means your actual Australian dollar cost may vary slightly from month to month. Most subscriptions renew monthly, though annual plans are also available at a discount.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
As an Australian consumer, the Australian Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) protects you even when you purchase from a United States company like Trainerize. These statutory rights cannot be overridden by contract terms alone.
What australian consumer law says about fitness services
Under Australian Consumer Law, services must be provided with due care and skill, within a reasonable time, and fit for the stated purpose. If Trainerize fails to deliver the service as advertised, or if the platform becomes unusable, you have grounds to claim a refund even if Trainerize's standard terms state "no refunds". This is a statutory right that overrides contract terms.
If you signed up within the last 30 days and the service does not meet your expectations, Australian law gives you strong grounds to pursue a full refund. Trainerize's own terms mention a 30-day risk-free trial on certain plans, which aligns with consumer protections. You can also request a refund if the service was not substantially as described, or if it has become unusable due to technical failure.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Trainerize subscription at any time. If you cancel within 30 days of purchase and have not substantially used the service, you are entitled to a full refund under Australian Consumer Law. If you cancel after 30 days, you have the right to a refund only if Trainerize breaches its statutory obligations (failing to deliver the service as described, or as fit for purpose). The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces these rights and investigates complaints about breaches.
How to cancel your Trainerize subscription

Step 1: log into your Trainerize account
- Open your web browser and navigate to trainerize.com.
- Enter your email address and password in the login fields.
- Click the "Sign In" button.
- If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete the verification step.
Step 2: access your account settings
- Once logged in, locate your user menu, typically displayed as your profile icon or name in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click on your profile icon or avatar to open the dropdown menu.
- Select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the dropdown options.

- Complete the confirmation step by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or similar confirmation button.
Step 4: confirm cancellation via email
- Check your email inbox (including spam and promotions folders) for a confirmation email from Trainerize within 5 to 10 minutes of cancellation.
- The confirmation email should state your cancellation date, your final billing date and whether you retain access until the end of your billing cycle.
- Save this email for your records and as proof of cancellation if you later need to dispute charges or claim a refund.
Step 5: if you cannot access the dashboard, contact support via email
- If you cannot access your Trainerize account or the dashboard cancellation option is not visible, send a written cancellation request to Trainerize support.
- Compose an email to [email protected] (or the support email shown on your account).
- Include the following information:
- Your full name

- Your account user ID (if known)
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Trainerize subscription effective today"
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
- Send the email from the address registered to your account to prevent delays.
- Request a confirmation email acknowledging your cancellation request and your final billing date.
Step 6: for accounts with outstanding refund claims
- If you are cancelling within 30 days and believe you are entitled to a refund under Australian Consumer Law, state this clearly in your cancellation email.
- Reference the specific reason: "I am requesting cancellation and a full refund on the grounds that the service does not meet my expectations and I have not substantially used it, in accordance with Australian Consumer Law."
- Retain copies of all correspondence, including your cancellation request and any responses from Trainerize support.
Refunds and what happens after cancellation
Understanding your refund entitlements and what occurs after cancellation helps you avoid unexpected charges and plan your alternative fitness arrangements.
Your refund rights under australian law
You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within 30 days of purchase and have not substantially used the service. If Trainerize breaches its statutory obligations at any point (for example, the platform becomes unusable or does not function as described), you have the right to a full or partial refund regardless of how long you have held the subscription.
If you cancel after 30 days without a statutory breach, Trainerize is not legally obliged to refund you. However, Yafee advises that you should always attempt to negotiate a refund, particularly if you can demonstrate that the service failed to meet the described purpose or that you discovered material defects.
Refund processing timeframe
- Trainerize typically processes refunds within 5 to 10 business days of receiving and approving your refund request.
- Your bank or payment provider may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to credit the funds to your account.
- For international transactions (USD to AUD), some banks take longer due to currency conversion and cross-border processing.
- Contact your bank if a refund is not visible in your account after 14 days of the refund being processed by Trainerize.
What happens to your account after cancellation
- Your subscription ends on your next billing date unless you cancel mid-cycle and request immediate access revocation.
- You lose access to paid features at the end of your billing cycle, though you may retain access to free features (such as viewing past workouts) depending on Trainerize's policy.
- Your data (workout history, client records, nutrition logs) remains stored on Trainerize's servers for a period after cancellation, typically 30 to 90 days, allowing you to request a data export if needed.
- Trainerize may continue to send marketing emails after cancellation unless you unsubscribe from all communications. Yafee recommends unsubscribing immediately or requesting removal from email lists in your cancellation email.
How to request a data export before losing access
- Log into your Trainerize account before your access ends.
- Navigate to Account Settings and look for "Data Export" or "Download My Data".
- Request an export of your workout history, client records and nutrition data.
- Trainerize will typically email you a downloadable file within 5 to 7 business days.
- Save this file to your computer and back it up to cloud storage in case you need it for your records or to transfer to a new platform.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling is straightforward when you follow the right steps, and most people encounter no issues. However, a few avoidable errors can complicate your cancellation or delay refunds.
Mistake 1: assuming cancellation happens immediately
Many users believe that clicking "Cancel" stops charges right away. In reality, most subscriptions remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your renewal date is the 30th, you will be charged again on the 30th. If you need to stop charges immediately, contact Trainerize support and request "immediate cancellation with refund for the current billing period".
Mistake 2: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If Trainerize continues to charge you after cancellation, your confirmation email is your proof that you requested cancellation. Without it, disputing the charge with your bank becomes harder. Save the email in a dedicated folder labelled "Cancellations" and take a screenshot as backup.
Mistake 3: deleting your account instead of cancelling your subscription
Some platforms allow you to delete your account separately from cancelling your subscription. If you delete your account without cancelling the subscription, you may still be charged. Always cancel the subscription first, receive confirmation, then delete the account if you wish.
Mistake 4: using the wrong contact email
Trainerize has no published Australian postal address for cancellations. Your email to [email protected] is the primary documented method. Sending a cancellation request to a general inquiry email or a sales address may delay processing. Confirm the correct support email on Trainerize's website before sending.
Mistake 5: failing to claim a refund within 30 days
If you sign up and realise the service is not suitable, you have 30 days to request a refund under Australian Consumer Law. After 30 days, your entitlement becomes narrower (limited to statutory breaches). Act quickly if you think you deserve a refund.
If Trainerize refuses to cancel or refund you
If Trainerize ignores your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, escalate your complaint to the ACCC or your bank.
Step 1: send a formal complaint letter
- Compose a formal complaint letter to Trainerize, referencing your cancellation request date, the subscription amount and your refund claim basis.
- State: "I am making a formal complaint that Trainerize has failed to cancel my subscription and/or honour my refund entitlement under Australian Consumer Law."
- Send this letter by email to [email protected] and request a response within 14 days.
- Keep a copy of this letter for your records.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the ACCC
- If Trainerize does not respond within 14 days or denies your refund claim, visit the ACCC website at accc.gov.au.
- Locate the "Report a consumer issue" or "Make a complaint" section.
- Fill in the online complaint form with your name, contact details, the company name (Trainerize), your subscription details and a description of your cancellation and refund issue.
- Attach screenshots of your account, copies of confirmation emails and your formal complaint letter.
- The ACCC will investigate and may contact Trainerize on your behalf to resolve the dispute.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card provider
- Contact your bank or credit card provider and report the charge as disputed or unauthorised.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email and any correspondence with Trainerize as evidence.
- Your bank may reverse the charge and initiate a formal dispute process with Trainerize's payment processor.
- Most disputes are resolved within 30 to 60 days, with your bank issuing a refund if Trainerize cannot prove the charge was authorised.
After cancellation: what to do next
Cancellation is complete, but a few follow-up actions ensure you avoid future charges and maintain your fitness continuity.
Monitor your bank account for unwanted charges
Set a phone reminder to check your bank statement on your old renewal date. If Trainerize charges you after cancellation, you have evidence of the charge and your cancellation confirmation email. Report it to your bank immediately as an unauthorised charge.
Unsubscribe from Trainerize emails
Trainerize may send marketing emails after cancellation. Scroll to the bottom of any marketing email and click "Unsubscribe" or follow the link to manage your email preferences. Alternatively, request email removal in your cancellation request to support.
Evaluate alternative fitness platforms
Before choosing another platform, compare pricing, features and Australian consumer protection policies. Yafee recommends reading independent reviews and testing free trials to avoid repeating the cycle.
