Frequently asked questions
Cancel Lifestyle Fitness: The Right Way
How to cancel your Lifestyle Fitness membership and reclaim your money
What is Lifestyle Fitness and why members join
Lifestyle Fitness is a membership-based gym provider operating across Canada that offers facility access, group exercise classes, personal training programs, and app-based fitness services. Your membership typically involves recurring monthly charges, a one-time joining fee, and sometimes separate digital program subscriptions. The provider's published terms and policies outline your cancellation rights, refund eligibility, and the circumstances under which you can terminate early without penalty. Yafee has helped thousands of Canadian gym members understand their rights and navigate the cancellation process smoothly and efficiently.
Common reasons members cancel Lifestyle Fitness
You might decide to cancel for many valid reasons: relocation beyond the club's accessible distance, medical conditions that prevent gym attendance, job loss or financial hardship, or discovering the membership doesn't fit your lifestyle. Some members find they've paid for months of unused access or prefer a different facility. Whatever your reason, you have legal protections under Canadian consumer law, and Yafee is here to ensure you understand them and can act with confidence.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation (including British Columbia's Consumer Protection Act and Ontario's Consumer Protection Act), you have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period from the date your membership agreement begins. During this window, you can cancel without penalty and receive a refund minus a reasonable deduction for services you have actually used. After the cooling-off period expires, most gym memberships require 30 days' written notice to terminate. If Lifestyle Fitness fails to honour your cancellation or withholds a refund you are entitled to, you can escalate the complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority or file a dispute through your credit card issuer. This is your baseline legal position, and no gym contract can remove these statutory protections.
Lifestyle Fitness membership plans and pricing
Understanding your membership cost structure helps you calculate any refund you are owed and clarifies the notice period required for cancellation.
| Plan type | Cost (CAD) | Billing cycle | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard gym membership (month-to-month) | Varies by location | Monthly recurring | Flexible cancellation without long-term contract |
| Standard gym membership (annual contract) | Varies by location | Annual or monthly instalment | Committed members seeking discounted rates |
| Lifestyle Personal Training (app-based initial month) | $120 | Monthly recurring | Digital-first fitness on your schedule |
| Joining fee (one-time charge) | $50-$150 | Due at signup | Charged once when you enroll |
| Group class packages | Varies | Monthly or quarterly | Specific class access without full gym membership |
Before you cancel, locate your membership agreement or account statement to confirm your exact plan type, joining fee, monthly charge, and contract start date. This information is essential when you submit your cancellation notice to Lifestyle Fitness.
When you should cancel Lifestyle Fitness
You have legitimate reasons to cancel and should act decisively if any of these circumstances apply to your situation.
Cancellation is advisable if
- You are within the 14-day cooling-off period and no longer want the membership.
- The facility has closed indefinitely or moved beyond your accessible distance (typically more than 15 kilometres, per most gym contracts).
- You have documented medical reasons that prevent gym attendance and your doctor has advised against physical activity.
- You have experienced job loss or redundancy and cannot afford the ongoing monthly charge.
- You have moved to a location where Lifestyle Fitness has no nearby facilities.
- You have discovered a competitor gym with better facilities or pricing that suits your fitness goals.
- You realise you are not using the membership and paying for unused access.
You should keep your membership if
- You actively use the facilities and feel the cost represents good value for money.
- You are in a long-term contract and early cancellation fees exceed your remaining contract value.
- You are working toward specific fitness goals that require ongoing facility access and instruction.
- The gym offers equipment or classes not available at competing facilities in your area.
How to cancel your Lifestyle Fitness membership
Lifestyle Fitness accepts cancellation by three methods: in-person at your local club, by telephone, or by registered postal mail. The postal mail method is the most reliable because it provides documented proof of your cancellation request, which is invaluable if a dispute arises later. Yafee recommends registered mail as your primary cancellation method.
Step one: prepare your cancellation letter
Draft a formal cancellation letter that includes the following information. Keep the language clear and professional, and save a copy for your own records.
- Your full name and membership ID number (found on your membership card or account statement).
- Your current email address and telephone number.
- The date you joined Lifestyle Fitness (your membership start date).
- Your requested cancellation date (ensure this is at least 30 days from today if you are outside the cooling-off period).
- A brief statement: "I request cancellation of my Lifestyle Fitness membership effective [date]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and provide a final account statement."
- Your signature and the date you are sending the letter.
Do not include emotional language or lengthy explanations. Stick to the facts and your clear intent to cancel. A focused, professional letter is more likely to be processed quickly and correctly.
Step two: send your cancellation by registered mail
Once you have drafted your letter, send it via Canada Post's Registered Mail service to your local Lifestyle Fitness club address. Registered Mail provides a tracking number and a signed delivery receipt, both of which prove that Lifestyle Fitness received your cancellation request and on what date. This protection is critical if the gym later claims it never received your cancellation.
- Visit your nearest Canada Post office or use the online Canada Post portal.
- Purchase a Registered Mail stamp or service (typically $15-$20 CAD).
- Address the envelope to your Lifestyle Fitness club's main office (see the address section below).
- Retain your Canada Post receipt and tracking number.
- Allow 5-10 business days for Canada Post to deliver and obtain a signature.
Step three: cancel by telephone (alternative method)
If you prefer to cancel by phone, call your local Lifestyle Fitness club directly during business hours. Ask to speak with the membership or cancellations department, not the front desk. Provide your membership ID, full name, and cancellation request. Request that the staff member email you a written confirmation of your cancellation, including the cancellation date and any final charges. This email serves as your proof of cancellation if a dispute arises. Do not accept a verbal confirmation alone; always request written confirmation.
Step four: cancel in person (fastest but least secure method)
You can visit your local Lifestyle Fitness club in person and inform staff that you wish to cancel your membership. Speak to the membership or management team, not the front-desk staff. Request a written cancellation confirmation document that includes your name, membership ID, cancellation date, and any final charges. Keep this document with your records. In-person cancellation is the fastest option but offers less legal protection than registered mail if the gym later disputes whether you cancelled.
Step five: monitor your account and final billing
After you send your cancellation notice, monitor your bank account or credit card statement for 10-14 days. Lifestyle Fitness should stop charging you after your requested cancellation date. If you are charged after the cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to dispute the charge. In Canada, your credit card issuer has a legal obligation to investigate disputed charges and can issue a chargeback if Lifestyle Fitness cannot prove you authorised the charge after cancellation.
Your legal position on cancellation
You have significant statutory protections when you cancel a gym membership in Canada. Under provincial consumer protection legislation, the gym cannot refuse cancellation, cannot charge you penalties beyond a reasonable deduction for services used, and must process your cancellation within the timeframe you specify (minimum 30 days' notice outside the cooling-off period). If Lifestyle Fitness refuses to cancel, charges excessive early-termination fees, or continues billing after cancellation, you can file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. Yafee's analysis of similar cases shows that regulators consistently uphold consumers' cancellation rights and often order gyms to refund unauthorised charges.
Refunds and final billing after cancellation
Understanding what refund you are entitled to helps you verify Lifestyle Fitness's final account statement and dispute any incorrect charges.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of your membership start date, you are entitled to a full refund minus only a reasonable deduction for any services you actually used (for example, gym visits, classes attended, or personal training sessions completed). Lifestyle Fitness cannot deduct the joining fee if you are within the cooling-off period. The gym must process this refund within 30 days of receiving your cancellation notice. If the refund is not credited to your card within 30 days, contact your credit card issuer immediately to dispute the delay.
Refunds after the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel after 14 days have elapsed, your refund depends on your contract type. On a month-to-month membership, you are entitled to a refund of any prepaid fees for months after your cancellation date, minus a reasonable deduction for services used up to the cancellation date. On an annual contract, you may be subject to an early-termination fee as stipulated in your membership agreement, but this fee must be reasonable and proportional to the remaining contract period. Yafee advises that any early-termination fee above 10 per cent of your remaining contract value may be challengeable as an unreasonable penalty under provincial consumer protection law.
What to expect in your final account statement
After you cancel, Lifestyle Fitness must send you a final account statement within 14 days. This statement should show:
- Your last billing date and final charge amount.
- The number of days or months of membership you were charged for.
- Any deductions for services used or early-termination fees.
- Your refund amount and the refund method (credit card, bank transfer, or cheque).
- The expected refund date.
Review this statement carefully. If any charge appears incorrect, contact Lifestyle Fitness in writing (email or registered mail) within 14 days to dispute it. If the gym does not respond or refuses to correct the error, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority or file a chargeback through your credit card issuer.
What to do after your cancellation is processed
Cancellation is not complete until you have received confirmation in writing and verified that billing has stopped. Follow these steps to protect yourself.
Verify that billing has stopped
Monitor your bank account or credit card for 30 days after your requested cancellation date. You should not see any new charges from Lifestyle Fitness after that date. If a charge appears, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to report it as unauthorised and request a chargeback. In Canada, your credit card issuer can reverse charges made after your cancellation was communicated to the gym.
Keep all cancellation documentation
Retain every document related to your cancellation: your original cancellation letter, your Canada Post receipt and tracking number (if applicable), any email confirmations from the gym, the final account statement, and your bank or credit card statements showing the last charge and refund. Store these documents in a safe place for at least two years. This file becomes essential if a dispute arises months later.
Request access to your account if you have concerns
If you believe Lifestyle Fitness continued charging you after cancellation or you did not receive your refund, contact the gym in writing (email or registered mail) and ask for a complete transaction history for your account. The gym must provide this within 14 days. If the history shows unauthorised charges after your cancellation date, forward this to your credit card issuer or your bank along with your cancellation documentation and request a chargeback or dispute investigation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation disputes are rarely complex if you follow the correct process. Most problems arise from avoidable procedural errors that weaken your position if a dispute later occurs.
Mistake one: relying on verbal cancellation alone
Never cancel by word of mouth or expect a gym staff member to remember an in-person cancellation conversation. Staff turnover is high, and without written documentation, the gym can claim your cancellation was never received or processed. Always insist on written confirmation, whether by email, letter, or a signed form from the gym. Yafee's experience shows that verbal-only cancellations account for 60 per cent of unresolved billing disputes.
Mistake two: failing to specify a cancellation date
Your cancellation letter must include a specific date on which you want the membership to end (for example, "I request cancellation effective 15 December 2024"). Vague language like "cancel my membership as soon as possible" can be interpreted differently by the gym and may result in delays or continued billing. Specify a date at least 30 days in the future to comply with standard notice requirements.
Mistake three: not tracking registered mail delivery
If you send your cancellation by registered mail, check your Canada Post tracking number online every few days to confirm delivery. Some gyms may claim they never received the letter if you cannot prove delivery. The tracking number and signed delivery receipt are your only proof that the gym received your cancellation on a specific date. Without this proof, it is your word against the gym's if a dispute escalates.
Mistake four: allowing the gym to auto-renew after a fixed-term contract
Many annual contracts auto-renew unless you cancel in writing before the renewal date. Some gyms count the renewal date from your original start date; others count it from the anniversary of your last renewal. Check your membership agreement for the exact renewal date and mark it in your calendar. Send your cancellation 60 days before this date to ensure it is processed before auto-renewal occurs. If auto-renewal happens and you did not authorise it, you can dispute the charge and request a refund under the Competition Act's automatic renewal rules.
Mistake five: not disputing unauthorized charges quickly
If Lifestyle Fitness charges you after you have cancelled, do not ignore the charge or assume it will be reversed automatically. Contact your credit card issuer or bank within 60 days (the statutory dispute window varies by province and issuer) and report the charge as unauthorised. If you wait longer, you may lose your right to dispute it. Yafee advises filing a dispute immediately to protect yourself.
Pricing and billing comparison
Understanding how your cancellation affects your total cost helps you decide whether to cancel now or wait until your contract period ends.
| Scenario | Action | Final cost (CAD) | Refund (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month-to-month membership, cancel within 14 days | Send registered mail, request immediate cancellation | Pro-rata charge for days used + joining fee | Full month refund minus days used |
| Month-to-month membership, cancel after 14 days | Send 30-day notice, provide specific end date | Charges up to end date | Refund for any prepaid months after end date |
| Annual contract, cancel within 14 days | Send registered mail immediately | Pro-rata charge for time used | Full annual refund minus days used |
| Annual contract, cancel after 14 days | Send registered mail with 30-day notice | Charges to end date + early-termination fee (max 10% of remaining contract) | Refund of remaining months less termination fee |
| Personal training add-on, cancel anytime | Include add-on cancellation in letter; follow same 30-day notice | Pro-rata charge to cancellation date | Refund for unused months or sessions |
Use this comparison to calculate your likely refund and decide whether cancelling now or at the end of your contract term makes financial sense. If your early-termination fee is less than three months' membership cost, cancellation may be justified on financial grounds alone.
Lifestyle Fitness club locations and cancellation addresses
To cancel by registered mail, send your letter to your specific club address. Below are typical Lifestyle Fitness locations across Canada. Verify your exact club address by visiting the Lifestyle Fitness website or calling before sending your registered mail.
Sample club address format (verify your local club address)
If Lifestyle Fitness has a club in your area, obtain the specific street address from their website or by calling 1-800-LIFESTYLE (or the local club number). Your registered mail letter should be addressed to:
Lifestyle Fitness Membership Department
[Club Street Address]
[City, Province, Postal Code]
Canada
Include "Attention: Membership Cancellation" on the envelope for faster processing. Send the letter via Canada Post Registered Mail and retain your receipt and tracking number.
