How to cancel Breathwrk and stop recurring charges in australia
What is Breathwrk and why you might want to cancel
Breathwrk is a guided breathing app designed to help you manage stress, improve sleep quality, sharpen focus and boost performance through structured breathing exercises. The service operates on a freemium model, meaning you can access basic features at no cost, but premium features require a paid subscription. Since Breathwrk is now part of the Peloton ecosystem, your subscription may be bundled with other Peloton membership benefits or purchased as a standalone product.
Understanding what you are paying for and how your subscription renews is essential before you decide whether to keep or cancel Breathwrk. Many users find the app valuable for mindfulness practice, but others discover they are not using the premium features or prefer alternative breathing apps. If you have decided Breathwrk no longer fits your wellness routine, Yafee has prepared this guide to walk you through the cancellation process step by step.
How Breathwrk subscriptions work
Breathwrk offers monthly and annual subscription plans, with automatic renewal as the default billing method. Your subscription will renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date arrives. The key challenge is that your subscription purchase route determines where and how you cancel. If you subscribed via the Breathwrk website, Apple App Store, Google Play or Peloton, each platform has its own cancellation procedure. This is why many users struggle to locate the cancellation option and end up paying for services they no longer want.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Breathwrk in australia
Australian Consumer Law gives you specific protections when you cancel a digital subscription, and understanding these rights puts you in a stronger position if Breathwrk refuses to process your cancellation or withholds a refund.
What the australian consumer law covers
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL), enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), requires digital service providers to make cancellation straightforward and accessible. You have the right to cancel a subscription at any time, and the provider must not make the cancellation process deliberately difficult or hidden. If Breathwrk makes it unreasonably hard to cancel, that may breach your consumer rights under the ACL.
For refunds, the ACL states that services must be provided with due care and skill. If you cancel mid-billing cycle, you may be entitled to a refund for the unused portion of your subscription, though this depends on the terms you agreed to and when you cancel. Promotional free trials that convert automatically to paid subscriptions are also scrutinised under the ACL; the law requires clear disclosure of trial-to-paid conversion timing and terms before you consent. This means Breathwrk must inform you in advance that your free trial will become a paid subscription, and you must have the option to decline before being charged.
Your legal position
Under the ACL, you are entitled to cancel your Breathwrk subscription at any time without penalty. The provider must process your cancellation without unreasonable delay. If you cancel within 14 days of a charge (whether monthly or annual), you may have grounds to request a refund under the ACL's requirements for fair dealing and transparent billing. If Breathwrk continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC or seek recovery through small claims proceedings in your state or territory.
Who to contact if Breathwrk refuses to cancel or refund you
If you cancel Breathwrk but the charges continue, or if the company refuses to process your cancellation, you can escalate your complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC is the independent statutory authority responsible for enforcing consumer law in Australia. You can lodge a complaint at scamwatch.gov.au or contact the ACCC directly to report unfair billing practices.
Furthermore, if you paid by credit card or debit card, your bank may offer a chargeback service. Contact your bank to dispute the charge if you have cancelled with Breathwrk but continued to be billed. In many cases, your financial institution can reverse fraudulent or unauthorised charges within 90 days of the transaction.

What happens after you cancel Breathwrk
Cancelling Breathwrk does not mean your access ends immediately; instead, you retain access until the end of your current billing cycle. Understanding what to expect after cancellation helps you plan your wellness routine and avoid unwanted charges.
Your access timeline after cancellation
Once you cancel your Breathwrk subscription, your premium access will remain active until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you pay a monthly subscription on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 20th, you will retain full premium access until the 14th of the following month. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier, and you will only be able to access limited breathing exercises. No further charges will appear on your billing statement after your access ends.
Reactivating your subscription
If you change your mind after cancelling, you can resubscribe to Breathwrk at any time through the same method you originally used. Yafee recommends keeping your login credentials in a secure location so you can reactivate your account quickly if needed. Some subscription services offer returning customers promotional discounts, so check for any special offers when you log back in.
How to request a refund from Breathwrk
If you cancel mid-billing cycle or discover you were charged for a service you did not authorise, you may be entitled to a refund. Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and whether Breathwrk's terms allow pro-rata refunds.
Refund eligibility under australian consumer law
Under the ACL, you have the right to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of a charge and can demonstrate that you did not authorise the charge or that Breathwrk breached its obligation to provide clear disclosure of trial-to-paid conversion terms. If Breathwrk automatically converted you from a free trial to a paid subscription without obtaining your explicit consent, you have grounds to request a full refund.
How to request a refund
- Send a formal refund request email to [email protected] or [email protected].
- Include your account email, the date of the charge you wish to dispute, and the amount charged.
- Explain the reason for your refund request (for example, "I was not informed that my free trial would convert to a paid subscription" or "I cancelled on [date] but was charged on [date]").
- Reference the Australian Consumer Law and request a refund within 14 days in accordance with your consumer rights.
- Request written confirmation of Breathwrk's decision within 7 working days.
If Breathwrk refuses your refund
If Breathwrk denies your refund request, you can escalate your complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). File a complaint at scamwatch.gov.au and provide copies of all correspondence with Breathwrk. You can also request a chargeback through your bank if you paid by credit card or debit card within 90 days of the disputed transaction.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Breathwrk
Cancelling a subscription can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to watch out for protects you from being charged unnecessarily and helps you maintain your consumer rights.
Mistake 1: not cancelling in the right location
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling through the Breathwrk app or website will not stop your recurring charge. You must cancel through the app store's own subscription settings. Many users make this mistake and continue to be charged because they believe they have cancelled when they have only deleted the app. Always cancel through the platform where you originally subscribed.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you cancel on the same day as your renewal, your payment may have already been processed. Yafee recommends cancelling at least 3 to 5 business days before your renewal date to ensure your cancellation is processed before the next charge. Check your billing statement for your renewal date and mark it in your calendar.
Mistake 3: not keeping proof of cancellation
Always save your cancellation confirmation email and screenshot your account settings showing a cancelled status. If Breathwrk continues to charge you or disputes your cancellation, you will need this documentation to support your claim with your bank or the ACCC.
Mistake 4: assuming the free trial is free indefinitely
If you accepted a free trial of Breathwrk, check the trial terms carefully. Many free trials automatically convert to a paid subscription after 7 or 14 days unless you cancel before the trial ends. Set a reminder one week before your trial ends to cancel in advance if you do not want to be charged.
Mistake 5: ignoring unwanted charges after cancellation
If you are charged after cancelling, do not ignore the charge hoping it will resolve itself. Contact Breathwrk support within 14 days and request a refund. Document every communication. If the company does not respond within 7 working days, escalate to the ACCC or your bank.
