How to cancel your Alo Moves subscription in ireland and protect your rights
What is Alo Moves and how the subscription works
Alo Moves is a subscription-based digital fitness platform that delivers on-demand video classes in yoga, pilates, barre, strength training, HIIT, mobility and mindfulness. The service operates through a recurring billing model: you receive a trial period (typically free for 7 days), after which your account renews automatically at your chosen interval-monthly or annual. All billing is processed in EUR (euros) for Irish subscribers. Charges appear on your bank statement or card statement automatically unless you cancel before your renewal date. Understanding how this billing cycle works is your first step toward cancelling effectively and avoiding unwanted charges.
Subscription pricing and plan types in ireland
Alo Moves charges Irish subscribers at rates that vary based on promotional offers, your location and whether you select a monthly or annual commitment. New customers typically start with a free trial before recurring charges begin. Below is a breakdown of standard pricing as of this guide:
| Plan type | Cost (typical EUR) | Billing cycle | Best for |
| Monthly membership | €15-€18 per month | Renews monthly | Testing the service or flexible cancellation |
| Annual membership | €100-€130 per year | One charge yearly | Committed users and cost savings |
| Free trial | €0 | 7 days (typical) | New users evaluating content |
Your account settings or order confirmation email will display the exact amount you pay. Check this information before proceeding with cancellation to confirm your billing date and plan type.
Why irish subscribers cancel Alo Moves
Irish consumers cancel Alo Moves for several recurring reasons. Schedule changes and competing fitness platforms are common motivators. Budget constraints, unexpected renewal charges and difficulty understanding billing also drive cancellations. Some subscribers begin the free trial intending to cancel before charges commence, then struggle to locate the cancellation option. Others complete their fitness goals or prefer in-person classes. Identifying your reason for cancelling can help you choose the fastest cancellation route and determine whether you qualify for a refund.
Your consumer rights under irish law
As a consumer in Ireland, you hold specific legal protections when cancelling a subscription service like Alo Moves, grounded in the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and related distance selling regulations.
The consumer rights act 2022 and your cancellation rights
The Consumer Rights Act 2022 implements the EU Consumer Rights Directive into Irish law and grants you a statutory right to cancel distance contracts-including digital subscriptions-within 14 calendar days from the date you conclude the contract. This is known as your "cooling-off period". For Alo Moves, the cooling-off period begins on the day you subscribe, not the day your trial ends. If you cancel during this window, you are entitled to a full refund of any money paid, even if you have used the service. After the 14-day period expires, your right to cancel remains, but refunds depend on Alo Moves' terms and whether you have a valid legal reason (for example, service failure or misleading terms).
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
Your legal position: You have an unconditional right to cancel within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund. Beyond 14 days, you retain the right to cancel your subscription (it cannot be locked indefinitely), but refunds depend on contractual terms and whether Alo Moves has breached its obligations. If Alo Moves charges you after you request cancellation, you can dispute the charge with your bank or card provider and report the company to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), which enforces consumer law in Ireland. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations and email correspondence as evidence of your request.
Enforcement bodies and your escalation route
If Alo Moves refuses to cancel your account or process a refund you believe you are entitled to, contact the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) in Ireland. The CCPC investigates complaints about unfair contract terms, misleading billing and failure to honour cancellation requests. You can lodge a complaint online at www.ccpc.ie or by phone. Yafee advises documenting all communication with Alo Moves before escalating to the CCPC, as regulators will request evidence of your attempts to resolve the issue directly.
How to cancel your Alo Moves subscription
Alo Moves provides multiple cancellation methods depending on how you access the service. Follow the steps below for your platform-whether you use the web browser, mobile app or account dashboard.
Cancellation through the Alo Moves website
Cancelling through the website is often the most straightforward method because you can see all account options in one place.
- Visit the Alo Moves website and log in using your email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile menu, typically located in the top-right corner or under a hamburger menu.
- Select "Subscription" or "Billing" to view your current plan and renewal date.
- Locate the "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation. Alo Moves may offer a discount or pause option before final cancellation-decline these if you wish to cancel completely.
- Ensure you receive an on-screen confirmation message and take a screenshot for your records.
- Check your email within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation email. Save this email as proof.
Cancellation through the Alo Moves mobile app
If you use the iOS or Android app, you can cancel directly within the application settings.
- Open the Alo Moves app and log in if prompted.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile icon, typically at the bottom or top of the screen.
- Select "Account" or "Settings".
- Tap "Subscription" or "Billing" to view your current membership.
- Select "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted. The app will display a confirmation message.
- Verify your email for a confirmation message from Alo Moves within a few minutes.
Note: some users report that cancelling via the app can be slower or less reliable than the website method. If you encounter errors, switch to the website method instead.
Cancellation via your payment method (Apple, google or card provider)
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play Store or another third-party platform, you may need to cancel the subscription through that payment gateway rather than directly with Alo Moves.
- For Apple subscriptions: open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions", find Alo Moves, and tap "Cancel subscription".
- For Google subscriptions: open Google Play on your Android device, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and subscriptions", tap "Subscriptions", find Alo Moves, and select "Cancel subscription".
- For card subscriptions: contact your bank or card provider directly and request they cancel any recurring charges from Alo Moves. Provide the merchant name, transaction frequency and your reason.
- After cancelling through your payment method, log into your Alo Moves account to confirm it is marked as cancelled.
- Retain confirmation emails from both your payment provider and Alo Moves.
Cancellation by email or support contact
If the above methods do not work, request cancellation in writing through Alo Moves' official channels.
- Locate Alo Moves' contact email or support form on their website (typically under "Contact Us" or "Help").
- Compose a clear email stating: your full name, account email, subscription plan type, request for immediate cancellation and your reason (optional but helpful).
- Include the phrase "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" to leave no ambiguity.
- Send the email and request a read receipt or delivery confirmation.
- Allow 5 to 10 business days for a response. If you do not receive confirmation within this timeframe, follow up with a second email referencing your first request.
- Save all email correspondence as evidence.
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding the timeline between cancellation and when charges stop is essential to avoid surprise bills.
When your access ends and charges stop
Once you submit a cancellation request, access to Alo Moves typically stops either immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle, depending on Alo Moves' policy. If you cancel mid-cycle, you may retain access until the end of that month or year (whichever applies). No further charges will be applied after your cancellation is processed. Alo Moves usually confirms this in your cancellation email by stating your final billing date or that access ends "immediately" or "at the end of your current period". Review this detail carefully to understand your exact final access date.
Monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
After you cancel, monitor your bank or card statement for at least 30 days to ensure no further charges appear. Billing errors do occur; if you see a charge after cancellation, contact Alo Moves immediately and ask for a reversal. If Alo Moves does not refund the charge within 10 business days, dispute it with your bank or card provider. Most banks allow you to dispute unauthorised recurring charges within 60 to 120 days of the transaction. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for 15 days after cancellation to check your statement.
Refunds and how to claim them
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and the reason for your cancellation.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase (even if your free trial has ended or you have begun using classes), you are entitled to a full refund of any money you paid under the Consumer Rights Act 2022. Submit your cancellation request and then email Alo Moves within the 14-day window, explicitly requesting a refund. Reference the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and your statutory right to cancel. Alo Moves must process the refund within 14 days of receiving your request, typically using the same payment method you used to subscribe. If the refund does not appear within this timeframe, contact your bank or card provider to trace it.
Refunds after the 14-day period
After 14 days, refunds depend on Alo Moves' cancellation policy and your contractual terms. Some services offer pro-rata refunds (refunding the unused portion of your subscription), whilst others do not. Check the terms displayed during sign-up or in your confirmation email. If you cancel before your renewal date, you will not be charged again, but you may not receive a refund for the current month or year already paid. If you paid for an annual plan and cancel after 3 months, for example, Alo Moves typically retains the full annual payment unless their terms explicitly state otherwise. Yafee recommends requesting a refund anyway; if Alo Moves refuses and you believe their refusal is unfair, escalate to the CCPC.
Disputing charges and chargeback procedures
If Alo Moves charges you after you cancel, or if you paid for a service you did not receive, you can dispute the charge with your bank or card provider. Contact your financial institution and explain that you cancelled the subscription, provided evidence (your cancellation confirmation email), and were charged anyway. Your bank can initiate a chargeback (a reversal of the transaction) within 60 to 120 days of the charge, depending on your bank's policy and card scheme rules. Most banks do not charge you for filing a chargeback dispute, and many resolve them in your favour if you provide clear evidence.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling Alo Moves is straightforward once you know the pitfalls-and most problems are entirely avoidable with the right approach.
Mistaking pause or freeze for cancellation
During the cancellation flow, Alo Moves may offer to pause or freeze your subscription instead of cancelling it completely. A pause temporarily stops access and charges, but your subscription remains active and will resume automatically after a set period (often 30 days). If your intention is permanent cancellation, decline the pause option and confirm you want to cancel completely. Paused subscriptions have reactivated unexpectedly for many users; cancellation removes this risk entirely.
Not confirming cancellation in writing
Relying on a verbal request or an incomplete form submission leaves no audit trail if Alo Moves denies receiving your request. Always obtain written confirmation-either a confirmation email from Alo Moves or a screenshot of an on-screen confirmation message. Save these indefinitely. If you cancel via phone support, ask for an email confirmation to be sent immediately and cite your call reference number in follow-up emails.
Cancelling but not checking for continued charges
Some subscribers cancel successfully, then assume all billing issues are resolved. Fraud and billing errors happen; check your bank statement 15, 30 and 60 days after cancellation. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, you have clear evidence of an error and can dispute it immediately.
Missing the 14-day cooling-off window
If you want a refund, act fast. The 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 is fixed and does not extend. Once it passes, refunds become discretionary unless Alo Moves has breached its terms or misled you. Mark your calendar 7 days after subscribing as a reminder to cancel if you are uncertain about keeping the service.
Ignoring third-party platform subscriptions
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play or another app store, cancelling in the Alo Moves app alone is not enough. You must also cancel the subscription through your payment provider's settings. Failing to do so may result in continued charges. Check your Apple, Google or bank settings separately to ensure all recurring charges from Alo Moves are stopped.
After cancellation: what happens next
Cancelling Alo Moves is often the beginning of managing your fitness spending more effectively-and Yafee is here to ensure you navigate every step.
Accessing your data and downloading content
After cancellation, you lose access to Alo Moves' content library. If you wish to keep a record of your favourite class names, instructor details or your workout history, take screenshots or notes before your cancellation is processed. Alo Moves does not typically provide a data export function for personal workout logs, so manual documentation is your only option.
Cancellation confirmation checklist
Use this checklist to confirm your cancellation is complete and secure:
- You received an on-screen cancellation confirmation message.
- You received a cancellation confirmation email from Alo Moves within 5 minutes of submission.
- You logged back into your Alo Moves account and confirmed the status shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription".
- You noted your final billing date (if your access extends to the end of a cycle) or confirmed immediate cessation of access.
- You saved all confirmation emails and screenshots in a dedicated folder.
- You checked your bank statement 15 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges were applied.
- If you paid via Apple, Google or a bank, you separately cancelled the recurring charge in those payment settings.
Considering a refund or escalation
If you cancel within 14 days, send a follow-up email to Alo Moves explicitly requesting a refund and citing the Consumer Rights Act 2022. State your cancellation date and request a timeline for the refund (typically 14 days). If no refund is processed within 14 days or if Alo Moves refuses without justification, escalate to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) by filing a complaint online. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel fitness subscriptions and recover unexpected charges by providing clear evidence and understanding their legal rights-and you can do the same.
Comparison of cancellation methods
Each cancellation route has advantages and trade-offs depending on your situation and the urgency of your request.
| Method | Speed | Confirmation | Best for |
| Website account settings | Immediate | On-screen + email | Most users; fastest and clearest |
| Mobile app | Immediate | On-screen + email | App-only users; less reliable than website |
| Apple/Google settings | Immediate | Payment provider confirmation | Users who subscribed via app store |
| Email or support form | 5-10 business days | Email only | When other methods fail; slowest option |
| Bank/card provider | Immediate | Bank statement | Final recourse if Alo Moves unresponsive |
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your Alo Moves subscription in Ireland is a straightforward process governed by clear consumer protections under the Consumer Rights Act 2022. You have the legal right to cancel within 14 days and receive a full refund, and the right to cancel at any time thereafter (though refunds beyond 14 days depend on contractual terms). The fastest cancellation route is through the Alo Moves website account settings; mobile app and email options are viable backups. After cancellation, monitor your bank statement for 30 days to catch any billing errors, and escalate to the CCPC if Alo Moves refuses to honour your cancellation or process a refund you are entitled to. Yafee recommends saving all confirmation emails and screenshots as evidence. If you encounter resistance or are charged after cancelling, you have multiple enforcement options-from bank chargebacks to formal CCPC complaints. Your consumer rights are clear, and Yafee is here to ensure you understand and exercise them.
