How to cancel your WalkFit subscription in canada and stop unwanted charges
What WalkFit is and why canadians cancel their subscriptions
WalkFit is a walking-based fitness subscription service that delivers guided audio workouts, daily activity reminders and integrates with your existing fitness trackers. You access the service through the Apple App Store, Google Play or via web browser, and pay a recurring monthly or quarterly fee in Canadian dollars to unlock premium features including personalized coaching and meal planning support.
Many Canadian subscribers find that WalkFit's workout pace doesn't align with their daily schedule, the difficulty level mismatches their fitness abilities, or they've discovered free fitness alternatives that suit them better. Cancelling should be straightforward, yet many Canadians encounter friction because they delete the app instead of cancelling the underlying subscription, or they miss the critical 24-hour window before their next billing date renews. At Yafee, we've guided thousands of Canadian consumers through fitness app cancellations, and we understand exactly where the confusion originates.
Common reasons to cancel WalkFit
You might be ready to cancel if the guided walks no longer motivate you, your budget has tightened and the monthly fee has become unaffordable, or you've found another fitness platform that better suits your lifestyle. Cancelling early stops all future charges immediately, though you retain access until the end of your current billing cycle.
What happens if you don't cancel in time
WalkFit processes charges in Canadian dollars on your renewal date. Monthly subscriptions renew on the same calendar date each month. Quarterly plans renew every three months. If you miss your cancellation deadline by even one day, your payment method gets charged for the next billing period automatically. Timing is critical.

If you're on a monthly plan, WalkFit charges your card $58.00 CAD each month unless you actively cancel before your renewal date. Quarterly subscribers pay $66.65 CAD every three months. These recurring charges accumulate rapidly, which is why identifying your cancellation deadline and acting before it arrives is essential.
Your legal position under canadian consumer protection law
Canadian consumer protection law provides you with specific rights when cancelling digital subscriptions.
Consumer protection framework in canada
Under the Consumer Protection Act in force across Canadian provinces, digital service providers must allow you to cancel subscriptions with a clear cancellation mechanism that requires the same number of steps as signing up. WalkFit must offer cancellation through at least one method that is as easy to access as the subscription purchase itself. Additionally, companies must provide you with explicit confirmation of cancellation in writing or via email within a reasonable timeframe, typically within one business day.
Your provincial consumer protection authority enforces these rights. In Ontario, the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services oversees complaint handling. In British Columbia, the Consumer Protection BC office investigates subscription cancellation disputes. Each province maintains similar protections, though the specific enforcement body varies by jurisdiction.
Your specific consumer rights
You have the right to cancel your WalkFit subscription at any time, and WalkFit must honour that cancellation before your next billing cycle begins. You are not obligated to provide a reason for cancellation, though WalkFit may request feedback. You are entitled to a written or electronic confirmation of your cancellation, which you should retain for your records. If WalkFit charges you after you have cancelled, you may demand a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act, and your bank can reverse unauthorized charges through a chargeback process if WalkFit refuses.
Methods to cancel your WalkFit subscription
WalkFit offers two primary cancellation routes: email contact and telephone support during specified operating hours.
Cancelling by email
Email provides a documented record of your cancellation request, which protects you if a dispute arises later.
- Open your email client and draft a new message to [email protected].
- Do not reply to marketing emails; start a fresh message to ensure your request reaches the cancellation team.
- Include your full legal name (as it appears on your billing account).
- This ensures WalkFit matches your request to the correct subscription profile.
- Include your complete order or account number.
- You can find this in your WalkFit account dashboard, under "Account Settings" or "Billing History".
- State your reason for cancellation (optional, but helpful for company feedback).
- Example: "I am cancelling because I have found another fitness service that better suits my needs."
- Write one clear sentence: "Please cancel my WalkFit subscription effective immediately."
- Clarity prevents misinterpretation and demonstrates your intent to the support team.
- Send the email and retain a copy in your sent folder for proof.
- Do not delete this email; you may need it if WalkFit charges you again by mistake.
- Monitor your inbox for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours.
- If you do not receive confirmation within 2 business days, send a follow-up email with your original request attached.
Cancelling by phone
Telephone cancellation offers immediate confirmation, though you must call during WalkFit's designated customer support hours.
- Call WalkFit customer support at 800-819-6294 during operating hours.
- Monday to Friday: 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific Time (PT)
- Saturday: 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM PT
- Note: These hours are listed in Pacific Time. Convert to your local Canadian time zone before calling.
- When a representative answers, state your full name and provide your order or account number.
- This allows them to locate your subscription immediately.
- Request cancellation clearly: "I would like to cancel my WalkFit subscription effective immediately."
- Avoid vague language such as "I'm thinking about cancelling" or "Can you tell me about the cancellation process".
- Listen for the representative to confirm your cancellation and provide a cancellation reference number.
- Write down this reference number immediately.
- Ask the representative to send you a written cancellation confirmation via email to the address on your account.
- This creates a paper trail if future charges occur.
- Hang up and document the date, time and representative name (if provided) in a notes app or email to yourself for your records.
Critical timing: when to cancel before your renewal date
The timing of your cancellation determines whether you're charged for another billing cycle.
Identifying your billing date
Log into your WalkFit account on the web or mobile app and navigate to Account Settings or Billing. Look for a section labeled "Next Billing Date", "Renewal Date" or "Subscription Details". This date is when WalkFit will charge your payment method unless you cancel beforehand. Most subscription services charge within 24 hours of this date, so you must submit your cancellation request at least 48 hours before (ideally 3 to 5 business days before) to ensure safe processing.
The 24-hour safety buffer
WalkFit requires you to cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to prevent the next charge. However, customer support processing times can vary. Submitting your cancellation email or phone request 48 to 72 hours in advance leaves no room for processing delays and protects you from accidental charges. If your renewal date falls on a weekend or holiday, submit your cancellation by the close of business on the preceding business day.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding refund eligibility prevents disappointment after you cancel.
Standard refund policy
WalkFit does not issue refunds for partial subscription periods in most cases. Once you cancel, you typically retain access to premium features until the end of your current paid billing cycle, after which your access reverts to free or expires entirely. No refund is issued for the remaining unused days of your subscription. If WalkFit has already charged you for a new period after you cancelled, you have the right to request a refund under the Consumer Protection Act, and you should pursue this claim immediately.
How to request a refund if you've been charged after cancellation
If your payment method is charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request, take these steps.
- Check your bank or credit card statement to confirm the charge date and amount.
- Document the exact charge: date, amount, merchant name (WalkFit) and your account number.
- Contact WalkFit customer support immediately at [email protected] or by phone at 800-819-6294.
- Provide your original cancellation request (email or cancellation reference number from your phone call).
- State clearly: "I cancelled on [date] and should not have been charged on [charge date]. Please refund $[amount] immediately."
- If WalkFit does not refund within 5 to 7 business days, contact your bank or credit card issuer.
- Explain that you cancelled the subscription and request a chargeback or dispute reversal.
- Your bank will investigate and may reverse the unauthorized charge within 10 to 20 business days.
- File a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.
- In Ontario: Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (ontario.ca).
- In British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC (consumerprotectionbc.ca).
- Attach your cancellation proof and your bank statement showing the unwanted charge.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Most Canadians who struggle with WalkFit cancellation make one of these predictable errors. Recognizing these pitfalls now ensures you avoid them.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing WalkFit from your phone, tablet or computer does nothing to stop charges. The subscription runs independently of the app. Deleting the app simply hides the service from view; your account remains active and WalkFit continues to charge you monthly or quarterly. You must cancel the subscription through the methods outlined above (email or phone), not by deleting the application.
Assuming your bank declined the charge means cancellation is complete
If your bank rejects a WalkFit charge due to insufficient funds, expired card or fraud protection, WalkFit typically reattempts the charge several times over the next 10 to 30 days. WalkFit does not automatically cancel your subscription when a charge fails. You must initiate cancellation actively, or WalkFit will keep trying to charge you until it succeeds. Contact WalkFit directly and confirm cancellation is processed.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you submit a cancellation request fewer than 24 hours before your renewal date, WalkFit may not process it in time to prevent the next charge. Your cancellation request could be queued, and the automated billing system might charge you before a human support agent reviews your cancellation. Always submit your request at least 48 to 72 hours in advance. Check your email and bank account for the next 5 business days to confirm you were not charged.
Not retaining proof of cancellation
If you cancel by phone and do not write down the cancellation reference number, or if you delete your cancellation confirmation email, you lose evidence that you submitted a valid cancellation request. This becomes a liability if WalkFit charges you again and denies receiving your cancellation. Save all cancellation confirmations in a dedicated folder, take screenshots of confirmation pages, and forward cancellation confirmation emails to a secondary email account as backup.
Your cancellation is not complete until you have confirmed it in writing and verified your account status.
Verify your cancellation was processed
Log into your WalkFit account within 24 hours of submitting your cancellation request. Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Details and confirm that your status now reads "Cancelled", "Inactive" or "Pending Cancellation (ends [date])". If your account still shows an active subscription or displays a next billing date, your cancellation was not processed. Contact WalkFit again immediately.
Monitor your bank account and email
For the next two billing cycles, check your bank statement and credit card activity weekly. If an unexpected WalkFit charge appears, photograph your statement and contact your bank to dispute it. Check your email for any WalkFit confirmations, promotional messages or billing alerts that might indicate your account is still active. If you receive a charge after you have cancelled, escalate the refund request to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Update your payment method information
If you plan to use the same payment method for other subscriptions, consider replacing it with a new card number or updating your digital wallet to remove WalkFit's stored payment details. This prevents WalkFit from attempting to charge you if a glitch reactivates your subscription or if the company disagrees with your cancellation claim.
Comparison: cancelling WalkFit versus continuing your subscription
Before you finalize your cancellation, compare the financial and practical implications of keeping versus cancelling your subscription.
