How to cancel Fit Up Today and reclaim your fitness freedom
About Fit Up Today and why you might want to cancel
Fit Up Today is a UK-based multi-gym access service that grants you entry to participating fitness facilities across the country under a single monthly subscription. Rather than binding you to one location, the service offers flexibility to use various studios, pools, and wellness centres at your convenience. However, flexibility on entry does not always translate to flexibility on exit, and many members discover they need to cancel for legitimate reasons: relocation, financial hardship, changing fitness objectives, or simply finding the service fails to meet expectations.
Cancelling a fitness subscription should be straightforward, yet Fit Up Today's contract terms can create unnecessary friction if you lack clarity on your consumer rights. That is where Yafee steps in. We have guided thousands of consumers through cancellation procedures, outlined their legal protections under UK law, and helped them avoid the common pitfalls that result in continued payments for services they no longer use.
Before you act, you need certainty on three points: what contract you signed, what statutory protections UK law affords you, and precisely how to submit your cancellation in writing. This guide addresses all three, grounded in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Common reasons members cancel
You might cancel because you have relocated, because your financial circumstances have changed, because the facility network does not match your needs, or because you have found a more affordable alternative. Whatever your reason, you possess legal rights that shield you from remaining trapped in an unwanted contract. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 form your statutory safety net.
Why understanding your contract terms matters
Your original agreement dictates your cancellation obligations, including minimum commitment periods, notice requirements, and potential early termination fees. Many members neglect this step and end up paying for months they never use. Yafee recommends you locate your sign-up confirmation email or original contract documents before attempting cancellation, so you know exactly what terms you accepted and what exit route applies to you.
Subscription plans and pricing at Fit Up Today
Fit Up Today operates several membership tiers, each with different costs, access levels, and contract lengths that directly affect your cancellation rights.
Current membership options and typical costs
The service operates on a tiered structure designed to suit different fitness needs and budgets. Pricing can shift based on promotional campaigns, but the following table outlines what you typically encounter:
| Plan type |
Monthly cost |
Access level |
Contract terms |
Early exit obligation |
| Basic |
£20-£30 |
Selected facilities, off-peak only |
Monthly rolling |
Usually none |
| Standard |
£35-£50 |
Most facilities, any time |
Monthly rolling or 6-month fixed |
Up to 8 weeks notice |
| Premium |
£55-£75 |
All facilities, guest passes included |
Monthly rolling or 12-month fixed |
Up to 12 weeks notice or balance due |
How promotional pricing locks you into longer commitments
Promotional rates frequently carry hidden conditions. You might sign up for £19.99 per month for three months, but the fine print locks you into a six or twelve-month minimum contract at full price after the promotional period ends. If you cancel mid-contract without proper notice, you face early termination fees that eliminate the savings you anticipated. Always read the terms carefully before committing. Yafee's guides help you spot these clauses before they become problems.
Your consumer rights and legal protections
UK law gives you specific rights when dealing with subscription services, and Fit Up Today must respect them regardless of what the marketing materials suggest.
Legal framework: consumer rights act 2015 and consumer contracts regulations 2013
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the primary statute protecting you as a consumer entering into distance contracts (online or by phone). Under this legislation, you possess a statutory right to cancel within 14 calendar days of purchase without penalty, provided you have not yet begun using the service substantially. This 14-day period is known as the "cooling-off period." If Fit Up Today began providing access to facilities before you submitted your cancellation, this protection may be limited, but you retain other rights depending on the contract terms.
Furthermore, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 specify that companies must inform you of your cancellation rights before you complete the purchase. If Fit Up Today failed to provide this information in a clear, legible format, your 14-day cancellation window may be extended to up to three months.
Your legal position on early termination
If you are beyond the 14-day cooling-off period, your right to cancel depends on your contract terms and whether Fit Up Today's terms comply with the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. The law prohibits "unfair terms" that create a significant imbalance against the consumer. A clause requiring you to pay 12 weeks notice on a Basic plan with no rollover protection, for instance, may be challenged as unfair if it contradicts industry norms or leaves you unable to exit without substantial financial loss. Yafee advises you to review your contract for any terms that seem disproportionately punitive and consider escalating to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) or Citizens Advice Consumer Service if Fit Up Today refuses to cancel.
Methods to cancel your Fit Up Today membership
Fit Up Today offers multiple cancellation routes, but not all are equally effective; you must use the method that creates a documented record of your request.
Online cancellation through your account dashboard
The easiest and most transparent route is to log into your Fit Up Today account, navigate to your membership settings, and select the "Cancel membership" or "Manage subscription" option. This method generates an instant confirmation email with a cancellation reference number. Screenshot this confirmation and save the email; it serves as proof of your request if any dispute arises later.
Cancellation by email
If the online method is unavailable or fails, email Fit Up Today's customer support team directly. Address your email to the support address listed in your contract or on the website. Include the following details:
- Your full name and registered email address
- Your membership account number
- Your request to cancel effective immediately (or a specific date, if you prefer to provide notice)
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation
Send this email from the same address registered to your account. Request read receipt confirmation so you have evidence the company received your request. Yafee recommends email over phone calls because email creates a paper trail; phone cancellations are often denied or disputed later.
Cancellation by post to the registered office
For maximum legal certainty, send a formal letter by Special Delivery to Fit Up Today's registered office address. Write a clear statement that you wish to cancel your membership, include your membership number, and request written confirmation. Post offices will provide you with a Special Delivery receipt proving delivery; keep this receipt as evidence. This method is slower but legally the strongest, particularly if Fit Up Today disputes your cancellation later.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow these steps to cancel your Fit Up Today membership and protect yourself legally.
Step 1: locate your contract and note the cancellation terms
- Find your original sign-up confirmation email or the contract document you received when you joined.
- Read the cancellation clause carefully and note:
- The minimum notice period required (usually 8 to 12 weeks).
- The effective date your cancellation will take effect.
- Any early termination fees that may apply if you are within a fixed-term contract.
- Confirm whether you are within a rolling monthly contract or a fixed-term contract. This determines whether you face fees.
Step 2: check whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period
- Count 14 calendar days from the date you purchased the membership.
- If you are within this period and have not yet used the facilities extensively, submit your cancellation immediately. No notice period applies, and you should receive a refund for the unused portion of any fees already paid.
- If you are beyond 14 days, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request in writing
- Use the online method if available (easiest and fastest).
- If online is not available, send an email to Fit Up Today's customer support address from your registered email address. Include your membership number, full name, and a clear statement that you wish to cancel, effective from the date required by your contract or immediately if within the cooling-off period.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation. Keep the confirmation email or send the email with read receipt enabled.
- Alternatively, send a Special Delivery letter to the registered office address. Keep the delivery receipt as proof.
Step 4: provide the required notice period
- Your contract specifies how much notice you must give. This is typically 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the plan and whether you are within a fixed-term contract.
- If you are unsure, check your contract or contact customer support and ask: "How much notice must I give to cancel?" Request the answer in writing.
- Your cancellation becomes effective on the date stated in your contract, not the date you submit your request. Continue to pay your subscription until that date.
Step 5: monitor your account and confirm the cancellation
- After the effective cancellation date, log into your account and verify that your membership status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
- Check your payment method (credit card or bank account) to confirm that no further charges appear after the cancellation date.
- If charges continue after the effective date, contact your bank immediately and dispute the transaction as unauthorised. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding what happens to your money after cancellation prevents disappointment and helps you know when to escalate a complaint.
When you are entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period and have not begun using the service. If you are within this window, Fit Up Today must refund any fees you have paid within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund must be issued to the original payment method (your credit card or bank account).
If you cancel after the 14-day period, refunds depend on your contract terms. Most fixed-term contracts do not offer refunds if you cancel mid-term; you remain liable for the remaining contract value or must provide notice and cease using the service without a refund. However, if you are cancelling a monthly rolling contract, you should receive a refund for any unused days in the month of cancellation, calculated on a pro-rata basis.
Refund timescales and how to chase a missing refund
Fit Up Today must process refunds within 14 days of your cancellation. If you do not see the refund within 14 days, contact the company in writing (email or post) and ask for confirmation of the refund status, including the expected date. Allow a further 5 to 7 working days for the refund to appear in your bank account, as banks process transactions at their own pace.
If 21 days have passed and you still have not received a refund, escalate your complaint to Yafee or another consumer disputes service. Yafee can help you prepare a formal complaint to Fit Up Today citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and demanding payment within a specific deadline. If Fit Up Today ignores this demand, you may escalate to the Office of Fair Trading or pursue the matter through the small claims court, which charges low fees for claims under £10,000.
Handling disputes if Fit Up Today refuses to cancel
If Fit Up Today claims it cannot cancel your membership or refuses to honour your cancellation request, do not give up. You have legal recourse. Yafee advises you to respond firmly in writing, citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the specific breach you allege (for example, failure to provide cancellation rights information, or application of an unfair contract term). Set a deadline of 14 days for the company to confirm cancellation in writing, and warn that you will escalate to Citizens Advice Consumer Service or the OFT if they do not comply.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Most consumers who struggle with cancellation do so because they made avoidable mistakes; awareness of these pitfalls puts you firmly in control.
Mistake 1: cancelling by phone without written confirmation
Phone cancellations are easy to deny. Always follow up any phone conversation with a written email or letter confirming what was discussed. Better still, skip the phone call entirely and use email or online cancellation only. This creates an irrefutable record.
Mistake 2: not checking the notice period required by your contract
If your contract requires 8 weeks notice and you submit a cancellation with only 2 weeks remaining in the month, your membership will not end for another 8 weeks. Charges will continue for that period. Read your contract before submitting your request, and calculate the exit date accurately.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation is immediate
Cancellation requests trigger a notice period; they do not end your membership instantly. Your contract specifies how long Fit Up Today can continue charging you after you request cancellation. Continue paying until the effective exit date, then verify the account is closed.
Mistake 4: not keeping copies of cancellation confirmation
If you cancel online, screenshot the confirmation page. If by email, save the confirmation reply. If by post, keep the Special Delivery receipt. Without proof, Fit Up Today can claim they never received your request and continue charging you. Yafee emphasizes: no proof equals no protection.
Mistake 5: ignoring unwanted charges after cancellation
If Fit Up Today continues to charge you after the effective cancellation date, contact your bank or card provider immediately and dispute the transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Do not wait or ignore the charges; they are unauthorised once your membership ends. Your bank will typically refund the disputed amount within 30 days and open an investigation.

What happens after cancellation is confirmed
Your membership does not end immediately; you move into a wind-down period during which you should continue to have access but no new charges should be applied (unless your contract requires notice payments).
Verify your account is closed
Once the effective cancellation date arrives, log into your Fit Up Today account. Your membership status should display as "Cancelled," "Inactive," or similar. If it still shows "Active," contact customer support in writing and ask them to confirm the cancellation status and stop any further charges immediately.
Check your next payment date
Examine your credit card or bank account statements for the month after the effective cancellation date. Fit Up Today should not charge you again. If a charge appears, report it to your bank as unauthorised and request a refund, citing your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Remove your payment method from your account (optional but recommended)
If your account remains accessible after cancellation, remove your stored payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank details). This adds a layer of protection against accidental or unauthorised future charges.
When to escalate your complaint
If Fit Up Today fails to honour your cancellation or continues to charge you after the effective date, escalate formally.
Internal escalation to Fit Up Today management
Send a formal written complaint to Fit Up Today's customer service department, marking it "Complaint." Explain clearly what happened (for example, "I submitted a cancellation request on 1 March 2024, with an effective date of 30 April 2024, but the company continued to charge me in May 2024"). Set a deadline of 14 days for a response and refund, and inform the company that you will escalate to the Office of Fair Trading if they do not comply.
Escalation to the office of fair trading and citizens advice
If Fit Up Today ignores your complaint or refuses to refund unauthorised charges, escalate to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) or Citizens Advice Consumer Service. Both organisations investigate complaints about unfair contract terms and consumer rights breaches. Yafee can help you prepare your complaint and ensure it meets the OFT's submission requirements. Provide copies of your cancellation request, the company's response (or lack thereof), and evidence of any unauthorised charges.
Small claims court as a final recourse
If the total unauthorised charges exceed £100 and Fit Up Today refuses to pay voluntarily, you may pursue the matter through the small claims court. The court charges a filing fee (typically £25 to £335 depending on the claim value) and will order Fit Up Today to pay if you provide evidence of the breach. Yafee advises consulting a solicitor or visiting the UK courts website (HM Courts and Tribunals Service) for guidance on small claims procedures.
Registered office address for Fit Up Today
If you need to send a formal cancellation letter or complaint by post, address it to:
Fit Up Today
Registered Office Address
[Insert current Companies House registered address]
United Kingdom
To confirm the current registered office address, visit the Companies House website (companieshouse.gov.uk), search for Fit Up Today by company number, and use the address shown on the official register. This address is legally valid for all formal notices, including cancellations and complaints.
Final steps and key takeaways
Cancelling Fit Up Today is a straightforward process if you follow the legal framework and use written communication. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel gym and fitness memberships successfully by emphasising three principles: understand your contract terms before you act, submit your cancellation in writing with confirmation, and escalate to the appropriate authority if the company refuses to honour your request.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects you. If you are within 14 days of purchase, you have an unconditional right to cancel. If you are beyond that period, your contract terms apply, but no term can be unfair under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. Yafee's role is to ensure you know your rights and use them effectively. If Fit Up Today pushes back on your cancellation, respond with a copy of the relevant law, set a deadline, and escalate to the Office of Fair Trading if necessary.
Remember: email or online cancellation creates the evidence you need; phone calls do not. Write clearly, keep copies, and do not ignore unauthorised charges.
