How to cancel Les Mills and reclaim your fitness budget

Understanding Les Mills and your subscription in canada

Les Mills is a global fitness platform that delivers on-demand and live workout classes through its LES MILLS+ subscription service. You gain access to programs like BODYPUMP, RPM, Pilates and Stretch across web, iOS and Android apps. Many Canadian members subscribe directly to LES MILLS+, while others access Les Mills content through their gym membership. Whatever your situation, budget shifts, changing fitness goals or discovering a better platform are all legitimate reasons to step back.

If you have decided that Les Mills no longer aligns with your fitness needs, Yafee walks you through the cancellation process with clarity and confidence. You deserve to understand exactly how to exit your subscription without surprises or hidden charges, and how Canadian consumer law protects your right to cancel.

Les Mills pricing and plan breakdown

Your subscription cost determines both your investment and your urgency to cancel before the next billing cycle.

When you should cancel Les Mills

You might cancel because your gym membership already includes Les Mills access, you have found a competing fitness app that aligns better with your routine, or your budget simply does not have room for this expense right now. You may also cancel if you are injured, shifting to in-person classes only, or simply losing interest in workout content. Whatever your reason, timing your cancellation before your next billing date is critical to avoid unnecessary charges.

If you are within a free trial period, cancelling at least 24 hours before the trial ends is essential; otherwise, your payment method will be charged automatically for a full subscription.

Your consumer rights under canadian law

Your right to cancel a subscription is protected by federal and provincial consumer protection legislation.

Legal framework protecting your cancellation

In Canada, the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection laws (such as the Consumer Protection Act in Ontario and equivalent statutes in other provinces) establish your right to cancel subscriptions easily and without penalty. These laws require that cancellation be as simple as the original sign-up process. Furthermore, companies must honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days) and cease all charges immediately upon receiving your cancellation notice.

If Les Mills charges you after your cancellation request, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company. Yafee recommends that you always retain proof of your cancellation request (screenshots, email confirmation, or transaction records) to strengthen any dispute claim.

Your legal position

You have the right to cancel your Les Mills subscription at any time without justifying your reason. You cannot be charged a penalty for early cancellation of a subscription service under Canadian consumer law. If Les Mills refuses to process your cancellation or continues to bill you after you have cancelled, you may file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority (such as the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General or equivalent in your province). Yafee advises that you document all communication attempts before escalating.

Cancellation methods available to you

Les Mills offers multiple pathways to cancel your subscription; choose the method that suits your preference and ensures you have written confirmation.

Cancel online through your account

This is the fastest and most secure method, as you receive immediate digital confirmation.

1. Log into your LES MILLS+ account at lesmills.com
   • Use the email address associated with your subscription
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password?" link
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management
   • Look for "My account", "Subscriptions", or "Billing" in the menu
   • Select the subscription you wish to cancel
3. Select "Cancel subscription" or "End membership"
   • Les Mills may display a retention offer; you can decline this
4. Confirm your cancellation request and note the confirmation number
   • Screenshot this page or note the date and time
   • Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within minutes

Cancel via email

Email cancellation creates a formal written record and is enforceable under consumer protection law.

1. Compose an email to Les Mills customer support at the address listed on their website
   • Subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name]"
2. Include the following information in your message
   • Your full name as it appears on the account
   • Your account email address
   • Your member ID or account number (if you have it)
   • Your current billing address
   • The date you wish the cancellation to take effect
   • A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Les Mills subscription"
3. Send the email via a method that provides delivery confirmation
   • Use your email client's read receipt feature
   • Request delivery confirmation from your email provider
4. Retain a copy of your sent email and any response
   • Save the confirmation email from Les Mills in a dedicated folder
   • If you do not receive a response within 5 business days, follow up or escalate

Cancel by phone

Speaking directly with a representative allows you to ask questions in real time, though you must document the conversation.

1. Contact Les Mills customer support by phone
   • Call during business hours listed on the Les Mills website
   • Have your account information ready (member ID, email, billing address)
2. State clearly to the representative: "I want to cancel my Les Mills subscription effective immediately"
   • Do not be swayed by retention offers unless you genuinely wish to keep the service
   • Ask the representative to confirm your cancellation in writing by email
3. Request a confirmation number or reference number for your call
   • Note the date, time and representative's name
   • Write these details down immediately after the call
4. Follow up via email if no written confirmation arrives within 24 hours
   • Reference the phone call date, time and representative name
   • Request written confirmation of your cancellation

Cancel via postal mail

Postal mail creates a formal legal record but takes longer to process.

1. Obtain the correct Les Mills mailing address from their website or customer service
   • Confirm this is the address for cancellation requests, not general inquiries
2. Write a formal cancellation letter
   • Include your full name, account email, member ID and billing address
   • State clearly: "I request cancellation of my Les Mills subscription effective immediately"
   • Date the letter and sign it
3. Send the letter via registered mail with signature confirmation
   • This provides proof of delivery and date of receipt
   • Keep your receipt from Canada Post
4. Allow 10 to 15 business days for processing
   • Follow up via email if no confirmation arrives after this period

Refund eligibility and what to expect

Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle.

Refund scenarios in canada

If you cancel your Les Mills subscription mid-cycle, you are typically not entitled to a prorated refund of the unused portion of your subscription. This is the standard practice for most subscription services in Canada, and it is legal. However, if Les Mills charged your payment method after you submitted a cancellation request, you have the right to dispute that charge with your bank.

Conversely, if you cancel during a free trial period before the trial ends, you will not be charged at all. Furthermore, if Les Mills has made an error in billing (such as charging you twice for one month), you have the right to request a refund. Yafee recommends contacting customer support with proof of the duplicate charge to initiate a refund request.

How to request a refund if you believe you were charged in error

1. Contact Les Mills customer support via email with your billing complaint
   • Include the transaction date, amount charged and payment method
   • Attach a screenshot of the duplicate charge from your bank or credit card statement
   • Request either a refund or a credit to your account
2. If Les Mills does not respond within 10 business days, escalate to your bank or credit card company
   • File a dispute or chargeback claim with your financial institution
   • Provide your bank with copies of the charge and your cancellation request
   • Your bank can recover the funds if Les Mills cannot justify the charge

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not instantaneous; you must understand the timeline and monitor your account.

Immediate effects of cancellation

Once you submit your cancellation request, Les Mills will disable your account access within 24 to 48 hours. You will lose the ability to stream classes, download workout videos or access any premium content. However, you will not be charged for any future billing cycles once your cancellation is processed. If you paid for an annual subscription and cancel mid-year, you forfeit the unused portion under standard subscription terms.

Monitor your account and billing

After cancellation, take these steps to confirm the action was successful:

1. Wait 3 to 5 business days after your cancellation request
2. Log into your Les Mills account to verify access has been revoked
   • If you can still log in and stream classes, contact customer support immediately
3. Check your bank or credit card statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation
   • Confirm no new Les Mills charges appear
   • If a charge does appear, dispute it with your bank immediately
4. Keep all cancellation confirmations and receipts for at least 90 days
   • You may need these to dispute unauthorized charges or to provide evidence to your bank

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

You can protect yourself by understanding where most cancellations go wrong.

Mistake 1: assuming cancellation was processed without confirmation

Never assume your cancellation succeeded until you have received written confirmation. Some users submit a cancellation request through the app and presume it is complete, only to discover they were charged weeks later. Always wait for an email confirmation before considering the matter resolved. If no confirmation arrives within 24 hours, contact customer support directly.

Mistake 2: cancelling just before the billing date without checking the exact time

Some subscriptions process billing at specific times (for example, midnight on the 1st of the month). If you cancel on the 28th and your billing date is the 1st at 00:01 GMT, the charge may still go through. Check the exact time your subscription renews and cancel at least 48 hours in advance to ensure the cancellation is processed before the billing cycle begins. Yafee recommends documenting the date and time on your subscription renewal notice.

Mistake 3: relying on a single cancellation method without follow-up

If you cancel online but receive no email confirmation after 24 hours, do not assume the request went through. Contact customer support by email or phone to confirm. In the event of a dispute, a single attempted cancellation may not be enough to prove you took reasonable steps to cancel. Use multiple contact methods (email and phone, or email and online) to create redundant proof of your cancellation intent.

Mistake 4: not monitoring your billing after cancellation

Many consumers cancel and then ignore their bank statements for two or three months. By then, they have been charged multiple times. Check your statement weekly for the first month after cancellation. If an unauthorized charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank; the sooner you report it, the easier the recovery process.

Escalation and dispute resolution

If Les Mills refuses to process your cancellation or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have legal recourse in Canada.

Contact your provincial consumer protection authority

If Les Mills does not respond to your cancellation request within 10 business days or continues to bill you after you have cancelled, file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection regulator. In Ontario, this is the Ministry of the Attorney General Consumer Protection Branch. Other provinces have equivalent agencies. Your complaint will trigger an investigation and may result in Les Mills being required to cease the unauthorized charges and reimburse you.

Yafee recommends that you have the following documentation before filing a complaint:

• Copies of all cancellation requests (emails, screenshots, confirmation numbers)
• Bank or credit card statements showing charges after your cancellation date
• Records of all attempts to contact customer support and their responses
• The date you submitted your cancellation request and the date of each unauthorized charge

Dispute the charge with your bank

If Les Mills continues to charge your bank account or credit card after cancellation, contact your bank immediately. Report the charge as unauthorized and request a dispute or chargeback. Your financial institution will investigate the charge and, if Les Mills cannot provide proof that you authorized it (which they cannot after you have cancelled), your bank will recover the funds and reverse the charge. This process typically takes 7 to 30 days.
