How to cancel Mindbody in india and stop recurring charges
What Mindbody is and why cancellation matters
Mindbody is a subscription and booking platform that connects you with gyms, yoga studios, wellness centres and fitness coaches across India. You use it to book classes, track memberships and manage payments in one place. The platform handles recurring billing for gym memberships, class packages and wellness subscriptions on behalf of studios and fitness providers.
If you subscribed through Mindbody and now want to stop paying, you need to know exactly where to cancel. Deleting the app does not stop charges. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of Indian consumers navigate cancellations like this, and we have seen unnecessary charges continue for months after users assumed their subscription had ended. This guide cuts through that confusion with step-by-step instructions tailored for users in India.
How subscription types affect your cancellation path
You might be using Mindbody as a consumer booking fitness classes, or you might be managing a studio membership. Your cancellation path depends entirely on how you subscribed. Some users subscribe directly through Mindbody's website or app. Others subscribe through Google Play or the Apple App Store, which means the payment processor handles billing differently. Some subscriptions are managed directly by your gym or studio, not by Mindbody itself. Understanding your subscription type is the first step toward a clean cancellation.
Subscription types in india and their cancellation requirements
Monthly gym memberships through Mindbody renew automatically each billing cycle. Annual class packages are typically non-refundable after purchase, though you may cancel future renewals. App-based subscriptions on Google Play or the App Store renew on a monthly or annual basis and must be cancelled through those platforms specifically. Corporate wellness programs have custom billing per agreement. Studio memberships managed directly by your local gym may require you to contact the studio, not Mindbody. Yafee emphasises that identifying which type you hold is critical before you attempt cancellation.
Mindbody pricing in india and what you are paying for
Mindbody does not publish exact pricing in Indian Rupees on its public website. Most rates are listed in USD, and regional pricing varies based on your location, the studio you are connected with, and whether you are on a monthly or annual plan.

How to find your exact charges and renewal date
Mindbody does not publish India-specific pricing online. To find out exactly how much you are being charged and when your next billing date is, log into your Mindbody account and navigate to Account Settings or Billing. Write down your next renewal date; you will need it when you cancel. If you are unsure of your plan type, contact your gym or wellness studio directly. They often manage billing on Mindbody's backend and can clarify whether you are locked into a contract or on a month-to-month arrangement. Yafee recommends gathering this information before you start the cancellation process.
Your consumer rights in india and when to escalate
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 protects you when you cancel subscriptions, and those rights matter when Mindbody refuses a cancellation or fails to honour it.
Key protections under the consumer protection act, 2019
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to cancel services within 30 days of purchase without providing a reason. The Act defines this as the "cooling-off period" for distance contracts (contracts entered online or remotely). If you subscribed to Mindbody through its website or app, the 30-day clock starts from your purchase date, not from your first use of the service.
Furthermore, the Act requires service providers to disclose the full cost, billing cycle and cancellation method before you pay. If Mindbody's cancellation instructions are unclear or deliberately buried, that itself is a breach. Consequently, you have grounds to escalate to the National Consumer Helpline or your state consumer commission if Mindbody refuses to honour a valid cancellation.
Your legal position
You can cancel any Mindbody subscription within 30 days of purchase without penalty under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. After 30 days, you retain the right to cancel recurring subscriptions, but Mindbody may charge you through the current billing cycle. If Mindbody charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you can file a complaint with your state consumer commission or escalate to the National Consumer Helpline (toll-free: 1800-11-4000). Yafee recommends keeping screenshots of your cancellation request and confirmation emails as evidence.
Refund eligibility under indian law
The Consumer Protection Act requires that refunds be issued within 20 days of a valid cancellation request. If you cancel within 30 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund minus any cost of providing the service (typically nominal). For cancellations after 30 days, refunds are prorated: you should receive a credit for any unused portion of your current billing cycle. If Mindbody refuses to refund you after 20 days, the National Consumer Helpline can pursue the matter on your behalf.
How to cancel Mindbody on the web
Cancelling through Mindbody's website is the most direct method if you subscribed directly through their site rather than through an app store.
Step 1: log into your Mindbody account
- Open your web browser and go to the Mindbody website.
- Click on the login link (usually in the top right corner).
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have two-factor authentication enabled, enter the verification code from your phone or email.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings and billing information
- Once logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu (usually in the top right).
- Click on "Account Settings" or "My Account".
- Select "Billing" or "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- You should see a list of all active subscriptions and their renewal dates.
Step 3: find the cancellation option for your subscription
- Locate the subscription you want to cancel in the list.
- Look for a button or link that says "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Click on it.
- If you do not see a cancellation option online, note the studio name and contact their customer service directly (see the contact section below).
Step 4: confirm the cancellation and save your confirmation
- Mindbody will ask you to confirm the cancellation. You may see a message offering a discount to keep your subscription; you can ignore this.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or the equivalent button.
- You will receive a confirmation message on screen and via email. Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation and save the confirmation email.
- Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. Mindbody will not charge you on the next renewal date.
How to cancel Mindbody via google play or the app store
If you subscribed to Mindbody through Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS), you must cancel through that platform, not through the Mindbody app itself.
Cancelling an android subscription on google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions".
- Find the Mindbody subscription in the list and tap on it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Follow the prompts and choose a reason for cancellation (optional).
- Confirm the cancellation. Google Play will send you a confirmation email.
Cancelling an iOS subscription on the apple app store
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find the Mindbody subscription and tap on it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Confirm the cancellation. Apple will send you a confirmation email within minutes.
Important note for app store cancellations
Google Play and Apple will stop charging you on your next renewal date after you confirm the cancellation. You will retain access to the Mindbody app until that date. If you cancel mid-cycle, neither platform will refund the current subscription period, but you will not be charged again. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from Google Play or Apple as proof.
How to cancel directly with your studio or gym
If your subscription is managed directly by your gym or studio (not by Mindbody itself), you must contact them to cancel, even though they use Mindbody's platform.
Step 1: identify your studio or gym
- Log into your Mindbody account.
- Go to Account Settings and look for the name of your studio, gym or wellness centre.
- Note the exact name and location.
Step 2: find contact information for your studio
- Search the studio's name and location on Google Maps or their website.
- Look for a phone number or email address.
- If they have a contact form on their website, use that as well.
Step 3: contact the studio and request cancellation
- Call the studio or send an email to their customer service inbox.
- Clearly state that you want to cancel your membership effective immediately (or at the end of your current billing cycle).
- Provide your full name, email address and phone number as registered with the studio.
- Ask the studio for written confirmation of your cancellation request.
- If they offer a discount or free month to retain your membership, politely decline and reiterate your cancellation request.
Step 4: follow up if you are not charged
- Check your bank statement or payment method one week before your next billing date.
- If the studio has charged you after your cancellation request, contact them immediately and ask for a refund.
- If they refuse, escalate to Yafee's support or file a complaint with your state consumer commission using the legal framework outlined above.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
You are not alone if you have made one of these errors; they happen to hundreds of Mindbody users in India every month. Knowing what to avoid protects your wallet and your legal position.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Mindbody app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active and you will continue to be charged. You must cancel through the website, Google Play, the App Store or your studio directly. Yafee emphasises that app deletion and subscription cancellation are two completely separate actions.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is instant
Most subscriptions do not end immediately after you cancel. Mindbody will continue your access through the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your next renewal is on the 30th, you will be charged once more on the 30th. Cancel far enough in advance that your last payment has already been made, or accept that you will be charged one final time.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If a dispute arises and Mindbody charges you after cancellation, you need proof that you cancelled. Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation and save any confirmation emails. Without this evidence, the National Consumer Helpline cannot pursue your complaint as effectively.
Mistake 4: contacting the wrong studio or gym
If you are a member of a franchise or multi-location chain, contact the specific location where you signed up, not the head office. Cancellation requests often get lost in translation across branches. Call or email the studio you actually visit and confirm your request in writing.
Mistake 5: not checking for hidden auto-renewals
Some studios offer promotional rates on Mindbody that automatically renew at full price after the promotional period ends. If you cancel after the promotional period but before auto-renewal, you avoid the full charge. Check your account 48 hours before a renewal date to see if a price increase is coming.
What happens after you cancel Mindbody
Cancellation does not happen instantly, and understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you avoid confusion and further charges.
Immediately after cancellation
You will receive a confirmation message on screen and via email. Your Mindbody account remains visible to you, but the subscription status will change to "Cancelled" or "Inactive". You retain access to any class history, saved classes or bookings you made while the subscription was active.
At the end of your billing cycle
Mindbody will stop charging you on your next renewal date. For example, if you cancel on 5 January and your renewal date is 20 January, you will be charged once more on 20 January, then no further charges will occur. After that final charge, the subscription is fully cancelled and no charges will recur.
Refunds for the final billing cycle
If you cancel after your next renewal date has passed, you are not entitled to a refund for that cycle under Mindbody's standard terms. However, under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, if you can demonstrate that you cancelled before the renewal processed, you may claim a refund. Yafee recommends contacting Mindbody support to request a courtesy refund; many studios issue credits for unused days.
Regaining access after cancellation
Once your subscription ends, you can resubscribe at any time by booking a class or purchasing a new membership through Mindbody or your studio. You will not owe back fees or penalties for cancelling and later resubscribing.
How to request a refund from Mindbody
Refunds are not automatic after cancellation; you must request one if you believe you are entitled under the Consumer Protection Act.
Refund eligibility under indian law
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within 30 days of your initial purchase date. You may also claim a refund if Mindbody charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request and if the charge was not authorised by you. Partial refunds are available if you cancel after 30 days but have not used the full service.
How to request a refund
- Log into your Mindbody account and go to the Help or Support section.
- Look for "Contact Support" or "Submit a Complaint".
- Select "Billing Issue" or "Refund Request" from the dropdown menu.
- Write a brief message explaining why you believe you are entitled to a refund. Cite the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 if you cancelled within 30 days.
- Attach a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and your latest billing statement as evidence.
- Submit the request and note the ticket number provided.
- Mindbody support should respond within 5-7 business days.
If Mindbody refuses your refund request
- Note the date of Mindbody's refusal and the reason given.
- Call the National Consumer Helpline toll-free at 1800-11-4000 and explain your situation.
- Alternatively, file a complaint with your state consumer commission online at https://consumercomplaintsodisha.gov.in/ (or your state's equivalent portal).
- Provide your Mindbody account details, the date of your cancellation request, and evidence of the dispute.
- The consumer commission will summon Mindbody to respond and may order a refund with penalties if they find in your favour.

Mindbody India Private Limited was previously registered in India but is now struck off from the corporate registry. No official physical address is designated for cancellation requests. Consequently, you should cancel through the web portal, app store or contact your studio directly. If you have a dispute that requires escalation, use the National Consumer Helpline or your state consumer commission rather than attempting to reach a physical office.
Escalation to consumer authorities
If Mindbody refuses to cancel or refund you, escalate to one of these official channels:
- National Consumer Helpline: Toll-free 1800-11-4000 (available 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday)
- Your state consumer commission: Find your state on https://consumercomplaints.nic.in/ and file a complaint online.
- Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Ombudsman: If Mindbody is processing payments improperly, escalate to your bank's RBI Ombudsman office.
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling Mindbody in India requires three things: identifying your subscription type, using the correct cancellation method, and saving your confirmation. You have 30 days to cancel without penalty under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. After 30 days, you can still cancel, but charges may continue through the current billing cycle. If Mindbody refuses to honour a valid cancellation or continues charging you, file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline or your state consumer commission.
