How to cancel your Freeletics subscription and stop unwanted charges
What you need to know about Freeletics
Freeletics is a mobile fitness platform that delivers personalised high-intensity workout plans, running guidance and nutrition coaching through algorithmic coaching. The service adapts sessions to your fitness level and goals, operated by Freeletics GmbH from Munich, Germany. You get free access to basic workouts, but paid coach subscriptions unlock the full personalised experience with real-time feedback and adaptive progression.
How Freeletics subscriptions work
When you sign up for a paid Freeletics plan, you choose between short-term and annual coach memberships, or bundles that combine training and nutrition guidance. The platform charges your payment method automatically on your renewal date each month or year, depending on your selected plan. Charges vary by country, region and active promotions, so the price you agreed to at signup may differ from what you see advertised today.

Why you might want to cancel Freeletics
Your fitness priorities and budget can shift at any time, and cancelling a subscription is your legal right under Irish consumer protection law.
Common reasons customers cancel
The most frequent triggers include unexpected automatic renewal charges appearing without clear notification, difficulty securing refunds after unwanted renewals, and uncertainty about which payment method or channel the original purchase came through. Others cancel because they lack time to use the service, experience repetitive programming, notice device compatibility issues, or find the price no longer reflects the value they receive.
Billing confusion stands out as a persistent problem. Many users report discovering a charge weeks or months after they believed they had cancelled, or realising they never received a clear renewal reminder. Transparency about when you will be charged and a straightforward cancellation process are fundamental to your rights as a consumer in Ireland. Yafee recognises these pain points and helps you navigate the cancellation process with clarity.
Your consumer rights under irish law
Your right to cancel is anchored in the Consumer Rights Act 2022 (the transposition of the Consumer Rights Directive into Irish law) and the Distance Selling Regulations.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (including digital services purchased online) within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you have not yet begun to use the service. If you have already commenced use of your Freeletics subscription, your cancellation rights shift: you can still cancel at any time, but Freeletics may claim a proportion of the cost for the service already provided, calculated on a pro-rata basis. Furthermore, if you purchased an annual plan and cancel before the end of that period, you remain liable for payment unless Freeletics agrees otherwise. The Consumer Rights Act 2022 also requires the company to provide you with clear, transparent information about the price, renewal date and cancellation method before you commit payment.
Your right to cancel and refund
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not used the service materially, you are entitled to a full refund under the cooling-off period rules. If you cancel after 14 days, or after you have started using the service, you may not receive a refund of the full amount, although Freeletics must honour your cancellation request without penalty or further charges from the date of cancellation forward. In accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2022, Freeletics must process any refund within 14 days of your cancellation.

What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is immediate, but understanding the timeline and what to expect ensures you do not face surprise charges.
Your access and charges after cancellation
Once you cancel, your coach features and personalised features will typically remain available until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your next renewal date is 20 April, you retain full access until 20 April, then the account reverts to the free tier. No further charges will be applied after the final billing date. Yafee recommends checking your subscription status in the app the day after you cancel to confirm the cancellation has processed.
Monitor for unwanted charges
Check your bank or credit card statements for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges appear. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank and Freeletics support immediately. Keep your cancellation confirmation email-it serves as proof of your cancellation date and strengthens any dispute claim.
Request a refund if you have been overcharged
If Freeletics has charged you after your cancellation date, or if you believe you were charged in error, request a refund in writing within 60 days of the erroneous charge. Send an email to [email protected] with the following information: your account email, the date of the incorrect charge, the amount charged, your cancellation date, and a copy of your cancellation confirmation. Freeletics must respond within 14 days. If the company refuses or does not respond, you can escalate the complaint to the Revenue Commissioners' Online Safety Team or the Irish Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO), depending on whether the charge is a billing dispute or a data protection matter.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few pitfalls can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Stay alert to these traps.
Delaying cancellation until close to your renewal date
If you cancel on the day before your renewal, Freeletics may still process the charge before your cancellation takes effect, depending on system processing times. Cancel at least 5 working days before your next billing date to ensure a clean cutoff. Check your confirmation email for your exact renewal date and work backwards.
Assuming that deleting the app equals cancellation
Uninstalling the Freeletics app does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription remains active, and you will be charged on your renewal date. You must explicitly cancel through the app settings, the website, or by contacting support. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers realise this mistake after discovering charges months later.
Not keeping a record of your cancellation
Save your cancellation confirmation email, the timestamp, and the confirmation number (if provided) in a folder on your computer or phone. If a dispute arises, this proof becomes essential. Take a screenshot as backup.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancelling in the Freeletics app will not work. You must cancel through the app store platform itself. Verify where you made the purchase by checking your bank statement for the merchant name (Apple, Google, or Freeletics).
Ignoring refund eligibility within 14 days
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not yet begun using the service, you are entitled to a full refund under Irish consumer law. Do not accept a "no refund" response if you fall within this window. Contact the Irish Financial Services Ombudsman if Freeletics refuses.
Refunds and your rights
Refunds are governed by the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and depend on when you cancel and how much of the service you have used.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your purchase date and have not started using the coaching features, you are entitled to a full refund. Freeletics must process this within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund will be returned to your original payment method.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
If you cancel after 14 days, your refund eligibility depends on how much of the service you have consumed. If you purchased a 12-month annual plan at €79.99 and cancel after 6 months, Freeletics may retain half the cost (pro-rata) and refund the other half. However, Freeletics must clearly state this deduction before you confirm cancellation. If the company does not offer a clear pro-rata calculation, request one in writing. Yafee advises you to ask for an itemised breakdown showing the usage cost deducted and the refund amount owed.
Preventing refund delays
Ensure you provide correct payment details and confirm your identity when you request a refund. Some refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear, depending on your bank. If a refund does not arrive within 21 days of Freeletics confirming it, contact your bank and ask them to trace the payment. In the interim, ask Freeletics for a refund reference number and a screenshot of the refund transaction from their system.

Escalation: what to do if Freeletics refuses to cancel
If Freeletics ignores your cancellation request or claims they cannot cancel your subscription, you have formal redress options under Irish consumer law.
Step 1: send a formal written demand
Send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the subject line "Formal notice of cancellation and right to refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2022". State: "I formally request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, I have the right to cancel this service. If you do not confirm cancellation within 7 days, I will lodge a complaint with the Irish Financial Services Ombudsman." Include your original cancellation request date and the reference number if available.
Step 2: complain to the irish financial services ombudsman
If Freeletics does not respond or refuses to cancel within 7 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Irish Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO). You can file online at ifso.ie. Include: your cancellation request date, Freeletics' response (or lack thereof), copies of all emails, and bank statements showing the unwanted charge. IFSO will investigate and can order Freeletics to refund you and pay compensation if they find the company acted unfairly.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
If Freeletics continues to charge you after your cancellation, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback or reversal of the unauthorised transaction. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and bank statements as evidence. Your bank must investigate within 30 days and can recover the funds on your behalf.
Yafee guides consumers through this entire escalation process and ensures your rights under Irish consumer law are upheld.
