Frequently asked questions
Cancel Lifetime: The Right Way
How to cancel life time gym membership in canada and protect your refund rights
Understanding life time in canada
Life Time operates premium fitness and wellness facilities across Canada, with the largest concentration in Ontario. The company offers both in-person gym memberships and digital fitness subscriptions, each with distinct cancellation pathways and legal protections. Your cancellation method and refund eligibility depend entirely on which membership tier you hold and how you signed up. At Yafee, we guide Canadian consumers through subscription terminations every day, and understanding Life Time's structure upfront protects your wallet and rights.
Life time gym memberships and digital access
Life Time memberships grant you access to physical fitness centres, wellness studios, and digital fitness content through their mobile app. Memberships are billed monthly and fall under provincial consumer protection law. In-person memberships require formal written cancellation notice, while digital-only subscriptions may allow online termination. You must identify which type you hold before proceeding.
Why life time memberships require careful cancellation
Life Time's standard cancellation policy requires 30 days' written notice by registered mail. This means your cancellation must reach the company in writing, and you must prove delivery. Consequently, many members miss cancellation deadlines or fail to provide adequate proof of notice, resulting in unwanted charges. Furthermore, Life Time operates under Ontario consumer protection rules nationally, which means you have legal rights even if you joined at a facility outside Ontario.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian consumer protection legislation grants you specific rights when cancelling a gym membership, and knowing these rights is your first line of defense against unexpected charges.
The 10-day cooling-off period for new memberships
Under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act (which Life Time follows across Canada), you have an unconditional right to cancel your membership within 10 calendar days of receiving your membership agreement. During this cooling-off period, Life Time must refund all joining fees, initiation charges, and prepaid dues in full. This period applies to all membership types, whether you joined online, by phone, or in person. Your legal position is the strongest during these first 10 days.
To qualify, you must cancel in writing before the 10-day window closes. Count from the date you received your membership agreement, not the date you signed it. If you joined Life Time fewer than 10 days ago, verify the receipt date on your contract and cancel immediately to secure your full refund.
The 30-day notice requirement for standard cancellations
If you are past the 10-day cooling-off period, Life Time requires 30 days' written notice to cancel. This means your cancellation takes effect 30 calendar days after the company receives your written notice. You retain full access to facilities and services throughout the entire 30-day notice period. Your next billing date will not occur after the notice period expires. This protection is grounded in Ontario consumer protection rules and applies nationwide to Life Time members.
Registered mail and proof of delivery
Canadian consumer law places the burden of proof on you when sending cancellation notice by mail. If Life Time claims they never received your request, you will lose the dispute unless you have documentary proof of delivery. Consequently, you must use Canada Post's Registered Mail or Tracked service, which provides a delivery receipt. Regular mail, email (if not confirmed in writing by the company), or hand delivery without a receipt do not count as reliable proof. Yafee strongly recommends Registered Mail with return receipt requested, as this creates an indisputable record of the notice date.
Your legal position under the consumer protection act
You hold enforceable rights under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and similar provincial legislation across Canada. If Life Time refuses to cancel your membership, fails to process cancellation within the 30-day window, or continues charging after your cancellation date, you can file a complaint with the relevant provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In other provinces, contact your provincial Consumer Protection office. Yafee recommends keeping copies of all cancellation correspondence for enforcement purposes.
How to cancel life time gym membership by mail
Formal written notice by registered mail is the most secure cancellation method for Life Time, and following this process step-by-step eliminates disputes.
Step 1: prepare your written cancellation notice
Compose a brief, formal letter that includes your full name, membership account number, date of birth, and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your membership effective 30 days from the date of the letter. Request confirmation of receipt. Do not include excessive detail or conditional language; clarity is essential. The letter should state: "I hereby request cancellation of my Life Time membership effective 30 calendar days from the date you receive this notice."
Step 2: send your notice by canada post registered mail
Print two copies of your cancellation letter. Visit Canada Post and request Registered Mail with Return Receipt Requested. This service costs approximately $15 to $25 and provides a tracking number and proof of delivery. The postal clerk will scan your letter and issue a receipt showing the mailing date. Keep this receipt; it serves as your legal proof of the cancellation notice date. Do not email your cancellation unless Life Time has explicitly confirmed via written communication that email cancellation is accepted.
Step 3: address your mail to the correct life time location
Life Time's Canadian membership cancellations must be sent to the primary Ontario address listed on your membership agreement or the club location where you joined. For digital membership terminations, Life Time provides a US headquarters address. Verify the correct mailing address on your membership agreement or contact Life Time's member services before mailing. Sending your cancellation to the wrong address delays processing and may invalidate your notice date.
Step 4: track your registered mail and confirm receipt
Use your tracking number at canadapost.ca to monitor delivery status. Once delivered, your Return Receipt will be stamped and returned to you by mail or made available for pickup. This receipt is your proof of the official notice date. Yafee recommends photographing or scanning this receipt immediately upon receipt and storing it digitally. Life Time must acknowledge receipt of your cancellation within 5 to 7 business days.
Step 5: verify cancellation and monitor final charges
After 30 days have elapsed from your registered mail delivery date, contact Life Time's member services to confirm your cancellation is effective. Request written confirmation that your account is closed. Check your next billing date on your account or with your credit card issuer. If a charge appears after your cancellation effective date, dispute it immediately with your credit card company or bank, citing your registered mail receipt as proof of timely notice.
Online cancellation and alternative methods
While mail remains the most legally defensible cancellation method, Life Time members may have limited online options available through their digital account portal.
Cancelling through the life time mobile app or website
Log into your Life Time account on the mobile app or at lifetimevirtualservices.com. Navigate to your account settings or membership management section. If a digital cancellation option is available, select it and follow the prompts. However, note that online cancellation does not always comply with the formal written notice requirement under Ontario consumer law. Consequently, Yafee recommends following online cancellation with a registered mail notice to create redundant proof of cancellation intent. Screenshot or download your online cancellation confirmation for your records.
Telephone and in-person cancellation
Calling Life Time's member services to request cancellation is not sufficient under Ontario consumer protection law. The company requires written notice for the cancellation notice period to begin. Similarly, visiting a Life Time facility and requesting cancellation verbally does not satisfy legal requirements. If you cancel by phone or in person, immediately send a registered mail letter confirming the conversation and requesting written confirmation of cancellation. This dual approach protects your position if the company disputes your cancellation date.
Life time cancellation addresses and contact information
You must send your registered mail cancellation notice to the correct Life Time location to ensure timely processing.
Canadian membership cancellation addresses
For in-person gym memberships at Life Time Canadian facilities, send your cancellation notice to the primary Ontario location listed on your membership agreement. Life Time operates facilities in Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, and select other Ontario cities. Verify the exact mailing address on your membership agreement or contact member services at 1-888-LFTIME-1 (1-888-583-8461) to confirm the correct address. Include your membership account number on the envelope to ensure routing to the correct department.
Digital membership cancellation address
For digital-only subscriptions managed through Life Time Virtual Services, use the US headquarters address provided in your subscription confirmation email. This address is typically listed as: Life Time, Inc., Attn: Member Services, 2902 North Ridgetop Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413, USA. However, Yafee recommends contacting Life Time first to confirm the current cancellation address, as company policies and addresses change periodically. Allow 10 to 14 additional business days for mail transit when sending to a US address.
What happens after your cancellation takes effect
Once your 30-day notice period expires, your Life Time membership and digital access terminate automatically, but confirming this change protects you from surprise charges.
Verify cancellation and access removal
After your cancellation effective date passes, attempt to log into your Life Time app or account portal. Your login should fail or display an "inactive membership" message. Call member services at 1-888-LFTIME-1 and request written confirmation that your account is permanently closed. Yafee recommends requesting this confirmation in email format so you have a written record. Ask member services to confirm the exact cancellation date and confirm that no future charges will apply.
Monitor final billing and refund eligibility
Check your credit card or bank account for any charges on or after your cancellation effective date. Typically, Life Time processes your final charge on your regular billing date if your cancellation takes effect after that date. For example, if your billing date is the 15th and your cancellation effective date is the 20th, you will not receive another charge. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and dispute the charge, citing your registered mail receipt as proof of timely cancellation notice. Under consumer protection law, you are entitled to a refund for any charges incurred after your cancellation effective date.
Cancellation fees and prepaid balances
Life Time does not charge a cancellation fee if you provide proper written notice and cancel outside the 10-day cooling-off period. However, if you prepaid for multiple months, those prepaid funds may be forfeited depending on your membership agreement terms. Consequently, review your membership agreement before cancelling to understand any prepayment forfeit rules. If you are within the 10-day cooling-off period, Life Time must refund all prepaid amounts and fees in full. After 10 days, prepaid funds are typically non-refundable unless your provincial consumer law provides otherwise.
Common mistakes when cancelling life time
Most cancellation disputes arise from procedural errors rather than policy disagreements, and avoiding these traps ensures your cancellation is honored without dispute.
Relying on email or unconfirmed online cancellation
Life Time's website may not formally acknowledge email cancellation requests. Sending an email to member services without confirmation that email constitutes valid written notice does not satisfy Ontario consumer law requirements. Consequently, your cancellation notice period does not begin until Life Time receives formal written notice by registered mail. Always follow email cancellation attempts with registered mail to eliminate ambiguity. Yafee recommends treating email as a backup communication method only, not as your primary cancellation mechanism.
Missing the 10-day cooling-off deadline
Your 10-day cooling-off period begins on the date you receive your membership agreement, not the date you sign it or activate your membership. If your membership agreement was mailed to you, the cooling-off period runs from the date it arrived, not the date of the letter. If you missed this window by even one day, you forfeit your unconditional refund right and must instead use the 30-day notice process. Verify your agreement receipt date immediately upon joining to lock in this deadline.
Sending cancellation notice by regular mail without proof of delivery
Regular mail does not provide proof of delivery, and Life Time can claim they never received your cancellation. Without proof of the notice date, your 30-day cancellation period does not begin, and charges continue. Registered Mail is non-negotiable; do not economize on this step. The cost of Registered Mail ($15 to $25) is far less than unexpected charges from a failed cancellation.
Failing to monitor charges after cancellation
Some members cancel correctly but never verify that charges stopped. If Life Time incorrectly continues billing after your cancellation effective date, you have 60 to 90 days to dispute the charge with your bank before the dispute deadline passes. Check your account statement within one week of your cancellation effective date to confirm no charges appeared. If a charge does appear, dispute it immediately.
Refund and chargeback procedures
If Life Time refuses to cancel or continues charging after your cancellation effective date, you have legal remedies through your financial institution and consumer protection authorities.
Dispute a charge with your credit card or bank
Contact your credit card issuer or bank within 60 to 90 days of the disputed charge (timelines vary by institution). Explain that you sent a registered mail cancellation notice on a specific date (provide the date from your registered mail receipt), and Life Time charged you after your cancellation effective date. Provide copies of your registered mail receipt and any written correspondence with Life Time. Your financial institution will initiate a chargeback investigation and will likely reverse the charge in your favour once they verify your proof of cancellation notice.
File a complaint with the consumer protection authority
If Life Time refuses to honour your cancellation or disputes your refund, file a complaint with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services in Ontario or the equivalent provincial authority in your province. Provide your registered mail receipt, membership agreement, and all correspondence with Life Time. The consumer protection authority can investigate Life Time's practices and compel refunds if the company violated the Consumer Protection Act. This process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks but is free and does not require legal representation.
Pricing and billing structure
Understanding Life Time's billing model helps you calculate your refund entitlement and anticipate final charges.
| Membership tier | Monthly cost (CAD) | Joining fee | Cancellation timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital app only | $19.99 to $29.99 | None | 30 days' notice by registered mail |
| Standard gym access | $89 to $179 | $99 to $249 | 30 days' notice by registered mail |
| Premium wellness membership | $199 to $399 | $199 to $499 | 30 days' notice by registered mail |
| Annual prepayment discount | 10% to 20% savings | Forfeited after 10-day cooling-off period | 30 days' notice by registered mail |
When to keep your life time membership
Cancellation is not always the right choice; evaluate whether cancellation aligns with your fitness and wellness goals before proceeding.
Reasons to maintain your membership
If you actively use Life Time's facilities or digital app weekly, the cost-per-visit typically justifies the membership. Life Time offers group fitness classes, personal training, and wellness coaching that may not be available at lower-cost gyms. If you are considering cancellation solely due to billing confusion or forgotten usage, reassess your routine before cancelling. Many members rediscover their commitment to fitness after reviewing their usage patterns.
Reasons to cancel
Cancel if you have not used Life Time facilities in 30 days or more, if a competing gym offers equivalent services at lower cost, or if your financial situation makes the membership unaffordable. Cancel if you are relocating outside Life Time's service area or if you prefer home-based fitness. Do not remain subscribed out of inertia; your monthly charges accumulate quickly. Yafee recommends reviewing your membership against your actual fitness use every six months.
Quick reference cancellation checklist
| Task | Deadline | Proof required |
|---|---|---|
| Review membership agreement for receipt date | Today | Your membership agreement or confirmation email |

| Compose written cancellation letter | Within 3 days | Printed copy dated today |
| Send cancellation by Canada Post Registered Mail | Within 5 days | Registered mail receipt with tracking number |
| Confirm receipt of cancellation notice with Life Time | 7 to 10 days after mailing | Written confirmation from member services |
| Verify no charges appear after cancellation effective date | 1 day after effective date | Bank or credit card statement |
Final thoughts and next steps
Cancelling Life Time requires formal written notice by registered mail to comply with Ontario consumer protection law and ensure your cancellation takes effect on schedule. Yafee has helped thousands of Canadians navigate gym membership cancellations, and the most successful outcomes result from following the registered mail procedure precisely and maintaining documentary proof of all communications.
Begin by verifying whether you are within the 10-day cooling-off period. If so, cancel immediately to secure a full refund of all fees. If not, compose your formal cancellation letter, send it by Canada Post Registered Mail with Return Receipt Requested, and retain your receipt as proof. Monitor your account for the 30-day notice period and verify cancellation one week after your effective date. If charges continue after your cancellation effective date, dispute them with your credit card issuer or bank and file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation documents for at least one year in case Life Time disputes the cancellation or disputes resurface in billing records.
Your consumer rights are codified in law, and Life Time is legally obligated to honour proper written cancellation notice. By following this structured process and maintaining documentary proof at every step, you eliminate ambiguity and ensure Life Time respects your cancellation. Yafee remains committed to guiding Canadian consumers through subscription terminations with clarity, precision, and legal confidence.
