How to cancel Beachbody in canada and stop automatic billing
Why you might cancel Beachbody
Beachbody operates a subscription-based fitness platform that delivers workout programs, streaming content (Beachbody On-Demand and BODi), and wellness products directly to Canadian households. The service charges automatically each month unless you actively cancel. If the workout library doesn't match your fitness goals, you're not using the app regularly, or you've found a more affordable alternative, you have every right to cancel immediately and stop recurring charges from your account.
When cancellation makes sense
You might decide to cancel if the program library doesn't align with your preferences, the monthly cost no longer fits your budget, or you've simply discovered a different fitness solution. Perhaps you signed up for a trial, forgot to cancel before the paid period began, and now face unexpected charges. Whatever your reason, cancelling is straightforward once you understand which platform you're using and follow the correct procedure.
Why timing matters
Beachbody renews your membership automatically, typically on a monthly cycle. Every day you delay costs you money on a service you're not using. The sooner you submit your cancellation request before your next renewal date, the sooner Beachbody stops charging your payment method. At Yafee, we recommend taking action immediately once you've decided to cancel, because procrastination leads directly to preventable charges on your account.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian consumer protection legislation gives you strong rights when dealing with automatic renewals and subscription services. Understanding your legal position empowers you to act with confidence.
What canadian consumer protection law requires
The federal Consumer Protection Act, along with comparable provincial legislation in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, mandates that companies offering automatic renewals must provide clear, upfront disclosure of all material terms before charging you. These companies must obtain your express, informed consent before the first charge. Critically, they must offer you a cancellation mechanism that is as simple and accessible as the process you used to sign up. If Beachbody obscures the cancellation option, makes the process deliberately cumbersome, or requires you to navigate multiple steps to cancel, those practices violate Canadian consumer protection standards.
Your cooling-off period and refund entitlements
Depending on your province, you may have a statutory cooling-off period ranging from 48 hours to 14 days to cancel certain online purchases without penalty or justification. Some provinces extend this window for specific service categories. If you purchased Beachbody through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you may also be entitled to additional refund windows under those platforms' own consumer policies. Yafee recommends verifying your specific province's regulations, because your statutory protections often exceed what Beachbody's own terms promise.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Beachbody at any time under the Consumer Protection Act. Beachbody cannot condition your cancellation on completing a survey, paying an early termination fee, or waiting until a specific renewal date. If the company delays your cancellation, continues billing after you've requested cancellation, or makes the process unreasonably difficult, you can file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority and pursue a refund through small claims court if necessary.
Escalation routes if Beachbody refuses to cancel
If Beachbody ignores your cancellation request, refuses to process it, or continues charging after you've submitted a valid cancellation, escalate to your provincial regulator. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In British Columbia, reach the Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers. Alberta consumers should contact Service Alberta, and Quebec residents should file with the Office of the Protecteur du consommateur. Before escalating, document every contact attempt: save emails, screenshot chat transcripts, note timestamps, and preserve confirmation numbers. This evidence is essential if you need to file a formal complaint.
Beachbody pricing and current membership costs
Understanding what you pay for each plan helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice and ensures Beachbody isn't overcharging you.

How to cancel Beachbody on each platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you created your account. Follow the steps below for your specific platform.
Cancel through the Beachbody website
If you signed up directly at Beachbody's website, cancel your membership through your online account dashboard. This is the fastest and most reliable method.
- Visit the Beachbody website and log in to your account with your email and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or "My Account" section (usually in the top menu or user profile icon).
- Look for "Membership," "Subscriptions," or "Billing" settings.
- Select the option to view your current plan or active subscription.
- If multiple subscriptions are listed (e.g., Beachbody On-Demand and BODi), select each one you want to cancel.
- Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Membership." Beachbody may ask why you're cancelling; this is optional-you can skip it.
- Confirm the cancellation on the next screen. Save or screenshot the confirmation page showing your cancellation request date and reference number.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Beachbody within 24 hours. If you don't receive one, log back into your account to verify the subscription no longer appears as active.
Cancel via the Beachbody mobile app
If you use the Beachbody app on iOS or Android, you can cancel directly through the app. The process is similar to the website method.
- Open the Beachbody app and log in.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile picture in the bottom navigation bar.
- Select "Account," "Settings," or "Profile."
- Tap "Subscription" or "Membership" to view your current plan.
- If you see "Manage Subscription" or "View Plan Details," tap that option.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap "Cancel Subscription."
- Answer any optional survey questions (you may skip them) and confirm your cancellation request.
- Screenshot the confirmation and verify your cancellation by checking your email or re-opening the app after 30 minutes.
Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store (iOS)
If you signed up for Beachbody through Apple's App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through Beachbody itself. Apple controls this subscription, and Beachbody cannot process cancellations initiated this way.
- On your iOS device, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Beachbody" or "Beachbody On-Demand" in the list.
- Tap it and select "Cancel Subscription."
- Apple may offer you a discount or plan change first-decline if you want to cancel entirely.
- Confirm the cancellation. You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes.
- Verify the subscription no longer appears in your Subscriptions list under Settings.
Note: If Beachbody continues charging after you cancel through Apple, contact Apple Support and request a refund. Apple's refund policy is generous for accidental or duplicate charges within the past 180 days.
Cancel if you subscribed through google play (Android)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel through Google's subscription manager. This prevents Beachbody from continuing to charge your Google account.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
- Find and tap "Beachbody."
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm.
- Google may show you a retention offer or discount code-ignore it if you want to cancel completely.
- Confirm the cancellation. Google will send you a confirmation email.
- Check that the subscription no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.
Similar to Apple, if Google Play charges you after cancellation, you can request a refund directly from Google within 180 days of the charge.
Cancel if you subscribed through amazon or another third-party platform
If you accessed Beachbody through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Amazon Fire TV, or another third-party service, cancel through that platform, not directly with Beachbody.
- Log into your account on the third-party platform (e.g., Amazon).
- Navigate to your subscriptions or channels section.
- Find "Beachbody" and select "Cancel Subscription" or "Unsubscribe."
- Confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation message.
- The third-party platform will stop charging you. Beachbody will receive notification from that platform.
Cancelling your Beachbody subscription triggers a straightforward sequence of events. Know what to expect so you're not caught off guard.
Your access timeline
When you cancel Beachbody, your access ends immediately if you cancel before the next renewal date. However, if you are in the middle of a billing cycle and you cancel, Beachbody typically allows you to use the service until the end of that current period (e.g., until the 28th of the month if you pay monthly). You do not receive a refund for unused time in most cases, unless you qualify for a cooling-off period refund (see Refunds section below). Always check the confirmation email to confirm your access end date.
Verifying the cancellation
After cancelling, log back into your Beachbody account within 24 hours to verify the subscription no longer appears as active. If it still shows as active after two business days, contact Beachbody customer support immediately with your cancellation confirmation number. Yafee advises taking a screenshot of your account page showing no active subscription, because this evidence is vital if you need to dispute a future charge or escalate to your provincial consumer authority.
Monitoring your payment method
Check your credit card or bank statement for 30 days after cancellation. If Beachbody charges you again after you've cancelled, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and request a refund. Report the charge as unauthorized, and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Your bank will initiate a chargeback, and Beachbody must refund you within 5-10 business days.
Refund eligibility and recovery
Refunds depend on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and whether you qualify for statutory cooling-off rights.
Cooling-off period refunds
If you subscribed fewer than 14 days ago (the timeframe varies slightly by province), you have a statutory right to cancel and receive a full refund without penalty under consumer protection law. Submit your cancellation request and immediately contact Beachbody customer support in writing (email) stating that you are exercising your cooling-off right and requesting a refund. Beachbody must process the refund within 15 business days. If they refuse, file a complaint with your provincial consumer authority.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
Once the cooling-off window closes, Beachbody is not obligated to refund unused time for the remainder of your billing period under the Consumer Protection Act. However, you can still cancel and prevent future charges. In some cases, Beachbody may offer a partial refund as a courtesy if you contact customer support and explain your situation (illness, financial hardship, duplicate subscription, etc.), but this is discretionary.
Disputing charges with your bank
If Beachbody continues to charge you after cancellation, do not contact Beachbody again. Instead, call your bank or credit card company and file a dispute for unauthorized charges. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots of your account showing the subscription was cancelled. Your bank will reverse the charges and investigate on your behalf. This typically resolves the issue faster than working with Beachbody directly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few oversights can leave you exposed to continued charges. Take heart-these mistakes are entirely preventable with the right preparation.
Mistake 1: cancelling only the app, not the underlying subscription
Deleting the Beachbody app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Beachbody continues to charge your payment method. You must cancel the subscription itself through your account settings or your app store account. Yafee reminds you: uninstalling an app and cancelling a subscription are two completely different actions.
Mistake 2: missing the renewal date and losing money
If you wait until after your renewal date to cancel, you've already been charged for another month. Cancel before your next renewal date to prevent the charge. Check your original confirmation email or account dashboard to find your exact renewal date, then cancel at least two days before.
Mistake 3: failing to document your cancellation
Always take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page, save the confirmation email, and note the date and confirmation number. If Beachbody disputes whether you cancelled or charges you again, you'll need this evidence. Without documentation, your word against theirs is weaker legally.
Mistake 4: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not through Beachbody. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active. Match your cancellation method to your subscription source.
Mistake 5: ignoring unexpected charges after cancellation
If Beachbody charges you one month after cancellation, do not assume it's an error that will resolve itself. Dispute the charge with your bank immediately. The sooner you report it, the sooner your bank recovers the money.

Prevention: how to avoid unwanted Beachbody charges in the future
Once you've cancelled, take steps to prevent signing up again accidentally or falling into a recurring billing trap.
Use a dedicated email address for trial subscriptions
Create a separate email account for fitness trial periods. This quarantines trial renewal notices away from your primary inbox, and you're less likely to miss a cancellation deadline.
Set a phone reminder for two days before renewal
If you do subscribe to Beachbody again (or any service), set a phone reminder for two days before your renewal date. This gives you a buffer to cancel before you're charged.
Request billing reminders from Beachbody
When you first subscribe, check whether Beachbody offers email reminders before renewal. Some companies do; if Beachbody does, enable this feature.
Monitor bank and credit card statements monthly
Review your statements every month, even for small subscriptions. A missing charge is easy to overlook, but it adds up. Yafee recommends setting aside 10 minutes each month to scan for unexpected recurring charges.

Getting help if Beachbody won't cancel your membership
If Beachbody refuses to process your cancellation, ignores your request, or continues charging after you've submitted a valid cancellation, you have formal escalation options backed by law.
Escalation step 1: send a formal written cancellation notice
If your initial cancellation attempt has not been processed within seven business days, send Beachbody a formal written notice via registered mail or email (which creates a timestamped record). Include the following:
- Your full name and account email address
- Your account ID or subscriber number (if available)
- A clear statement: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my Beachbody subscription effective immediately."
- The date you first attempted to cancel
- Any confirmation numbers or reference numbers from previous cancellation attempts
- Request written confirmation of cancellation within 10 business days
Address this letter to Beachbody's customer service or the company's legal department (you can find contact details on the official Beachbody website or in your account terms).
Escalation step 2: dispute the charge with your bank
If Beachbody charges you after you've submitted a written cancellation notice and the company does not respond within 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company immediately. File a dispute for unauthorized charges. Provide your written cancellation notice, screenshots, and confirmation emails as evidence. Your bank will review the dispute and typically reverse the charge within 5-10 business days.
Escalation step 3: file a complaint with your provincial consumer authority
If Beachbody continues to ignore your cancellation or disputes your bank's chargeback, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency. These agencies investigate violations of the Consumer Protection Act and can compel refunds, impose fines, and pursue further action on behalf of consumers. Contact details:
- Ontario: Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (ontario.ca)
- British Columbia: Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers (bccpa.bc.ca)
- Alberta: Service Alberta, Fair Trading Act (servicealberta.ca)
- Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur (protecteurduconsommateur.qc.ca)
- Other provinces: Search "[Your Province] consumer protection" online
Yafee advises including all documentation: your original cancellation request, confirmation numbers, email transcripts, written cancellation notice, bank statements showing the unwanted charge, and your bank dispute record. The more evidence you provide, the stronger your case.
