How to cancel Body Groove and stop being charged in malaysia
What is Body Groove
Body Groove is an online dance and movement fitness subscription service that delivers choreographed workout classes through a digital membership model. The platform operates entirely online, with no physical gym locations or in-person classes; instead, you access pre-recorded and live dance fitness content through your account on their website or mobile app.
The service model and what you're paying for
When you subscribe to Body Groove, you pay for unlimited access to a library of dance-based workout videos and wellness content. The primary membership offer is a Lifetime Membership at USD 599.00 (approximately RM 2,827 at current exchange rates), which provides one-time access with no recurring billing. This differs from monthly or annual subscription models because you purchase access once and retain it indefinitely, provided your account remains active.
Body Groove operates through account-based billing tied to your email address. Your subscription status, access level, and billing history are managed within your account dashboard. Cancellation means you terminate access to the member library and all class content, though the company's published terms do not clearly specify whether your account data or workout history is retained after you cancel.
Body groove's presence in malaysia and support infrastructure
Body Groove does not maintain a Malaysia-specific support office, phone line, or local customer service team. The company's registered address is 26895 Aliso Creek Rd #B501, Aliso Viejo, California 92656, United States. For Malaysian users, support operates exclusively through email at [email protected]; there is no live chat, WhatsApp support, or telephone helpline. This means any cancellation request, refund claim, or billing dispute will be handled asynchronously via email, which typically introduces a 24-72 hour response window.
Yafee recommends that Malaysian subscribers document every interaction with Body Groove in writing-save email confirmations, screenshots of your account billing page, and timestamps of all communication. Without a local office, email trails become your primary evidence if a billing dispute arises.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
As a consumer in Malaysia, your purchase of a Body Groove membership is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) and the Consumer Protection (Amendment) Act 2010. These laws establish your baseline rights when you enter into a subscription contract.
Your legal position under malaysian law
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to receive clear, accurate information about the goods or services you purchase before you commit your money. Body Groove must disclose the full terms of membership-including the cost, cancellation procedure, refund eligibility, and any lock-in period-in plain language before you subscribe. If the company fails to provide this information clearly, your agreement may be voidable at your discretion.
Furthermore, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 grants you a cooling-off period for distance contracts (contracts concluded without face-to-face negotiation, such as online purchases). For digital services like Body Groove, this cooling-off period is typically 10 calendar days from the date you receive confirmation of your purchase. During this window, you can cancel and receive a full refund, even if you have used the service, unless the company can prove you expressly requested access before the cooling-off period ended.
Consequently, if you purchased Body Groove within the last 10 days, you are entitled to cancel immediately and claim a full refund under this statutory right. Body Groove's internal 30-day money-back guarantee does not override this legal entitlement; the Consumer Protection Act 1999 minimum applies regardless of the company's own policy.
After the 10-day cooling-off period, your cancellation rights depend on what the contract states. If Body Groove's Terms of Service grant you a right to cancel at any time, you may do so; however, the company may be entitled to retain fees for services already provided. If the contract locks you in for a fixed term and does not allow cancellation, you would be bound by that term unless Body Groove breaches the contract or engages in unfair contract terms.
Unfair contract terms and your protection
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 also prohibits unfair contract terms. A term is unfair if it creates a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations and contradicts good faith. For example, a clause that allows Body Groove to charge your account indefinitely after cancellation, or that requires you to pay a penalty equal to the full membership cost to exit early, may be deemed unfair. If Body Groove uses such a term, you can challenge it, and the court may strike it down.
In accordance with Malaysian consumer law, if Body Groove refuses to cancel your membership or continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you can escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism (MDTCC), which enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The MDTCC can investigate, mediate, and take enforcement action against the company on your behalf.
How to cancel Body Groove step by step
Cancellation of Body Groove depends on where you created your account: the official website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. Each platform manages billing independently, so your cancellation method differs based on your sign-up source.
Step 1: verify your account details and billing information
Before you initiate cancellation, log in to Body Groove and access your account settings. Note the following details and take a screenshot of each:
- The email address linked to your subscription
- Your current membership type (e.g., Lifetime Membership)
- The date you purchased the membership
- Your last billing date and any upcoming charges
- Any promotional codes or discounts applied
This documentation protects you if Body Groove later claims it has no record of your cancellation or attempts to charge you again. Yafee strongly advises taking multiple screenshots because you may need them to dispute charges with your payment provider or escalate a complaint to the MDTCC.
Step 2: cancel via the Body Groove website (if you signed up online)
If you subscribed through bodygroove.com, follow this procedure:
- Log in to your Body Groove account using your email and password.
- Locate and click the profile icon or menu button, typically in the top right corner of the page.
- Select "Manage Subscription" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Find the "Cancel Membership" or "Subscription" option.
- Read the confirmation message carefully. Body Groove may offer a discount to retain you; decline this unless you genuinely wish to stay.
- Confirm cancellation. The platform should display a cancellation confirmation message with a reference number.
- Screenshot this confirmation page immediately, then forward a copy to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Confirmation - [Your Email Address]" to create a paper trail.
Yafee advises waiting 5-10 minutes after confirming cancellation, then logging out and back in to verify your membership status has changed to "Cancelled" or "Inactive." If the status has not updated, contact Body Groove's support team immediately to confirm the cancellation was processed.
Step 3: cancel via apple app store (if you subscribed through iOS)
If you signed up for Body Groove using the Apple App Store, Apple manages your subscription billing, not Body Groove directly. You must cancel through Apple to stop charges:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Body Groove" in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the action.
- Apple will display a cancellation confirmation. Screenshot this screen immediately.
- Email this screenshot to [email protected] with the subject "Apple App Store Subscription Cancelled - [Your Apple ID]" so Body Groove acknowledges the termination on their system.
Cancellation via Apple takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain access until that date, after which your membership terminates automatically. Apple sends a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address; retain this email as evidence.
Step 4: cancel via google play (if you subscribed through android)
If you signed up through Google Play Store on an Android device, Google handles billing. Cancel through Google's platform:
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a web browser.
- Navigate to "Manage my subscriptions" or "Subscriptions."
- Locate and tap "Body Groove."
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Google will issue a cancellation confirmation. Screenshot this confirmation.
- Send a copy to [email protected] with the subject "Google Play Subscription Cancelled - [Your Google Account Email]."
Like Apple, Google cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period. You receive a confirmation email from Google; save this message in a dedicated folder for future reference.
Step 5: obtain cancellation confirmation from Body Groove
Once you have cancelled through your sign-up platform (website, Apple, or Google), email Body Groove's support team at [email protected] within 24 hours. Use this template:
Subject: Cancellation Confirmation Required - [Your Email Address]
Body: "I have cancelled my Body Groove membership effective [cancellation date]. My subscription was [Website/Apple App Store/Google Play]. Please confirm receipt of this cancellation request and acknowledge the date your records show my membership as terminated. Reference: [Screenshot confirmation number, if available]."
Body Groove should respond within 48-72 hours confirming the cancellation. If you do not receive confirmation within 72 hours, send a follow-up email and mark it as important. Yafee recommends keeping all email correspondence in one thread so you have a complete record if you later need to dispute charges.
What happens after you cancel
After your cancellation takes effect, your access to Body Groove's member library and classes terminates immediately (for website cancellations) or at the end of your billing cycle (for app store cancellations). The following outcomes typically occur:
Access and account status
Once cancellation is complete, you can no longer log in to Body Groove or view any class content. The platform may retain your account on file for administrative purposes, but it will be marked as inactive. Body Groove's Terms of Service do not clarify whether your account data, saved playlists, or workout history are deleted or archived after cancellation; you may wish to request clarification from [email protected] before you cancel if you want to preserve any personal data.
Billing and refunds
If you cancelled within the 10-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you are legally entitled to a full refund. Body Groove should process this within 14 days of your cancellation request.
If you cancelled after the cooling-off period, your right to a refund depends on Body Groove's Terms of Service and whether the company qualifies for a statutory exemption. The company may retain a portion of the subscription fee if you have accessed the service, in accordance with the law's provision for "services already provided." However, if you can demonstrate that Body Groove failed to deliver the promised service quality, or if the membership suffered a material defect (such as corrupted videos or inaccessible content), you may have grounds for a partial or full refund based on a breach of contract or failure of consideration.
Monitor your payment method (credit card, debit card, or online payment account) for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges appear. If Body Groove continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider immediately and request a chargeback, while simultaneously notifying the MDTCC of the unauthorized charge.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your refund entitlement depends on when you request cancellation relative to your purchase date and the reason for cancellation.
Refunds within the cooling-off period
If you purchased Body Groove and requested cancellation within 10 calendar days of receiving confirmation of your purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, regardless of how much you have used the service. Body Groove must process the refund within 14 days of your cancellation request. The refund should return to the payment method you originally used (credit card, debit card, or e-wallet).
Refunds after the cooling-off period
After 10 days, refund eligibility is governed by Body Groove's Terms of Service and common law principles of contract and unjust enrichment. If the contract explicitly states you have a money-back guarantee (as Body Groove advertises a 30-day guarantee for new members), you can claim a refund within that period. If there is no stated guarantee and you request cancellation after 10 days, Body Groove may argue it is entitled to retain the fee as payment for access already provided.
Nevertheless, if you can demonstrate a breach of contract-for example, that the platform was inaccessible for extended periods, that videos were unavailable, or that the service quality fell short of its description-you may have grounds to dispute the fee. In these cases, contact the MDTCC and provide evidence of the defect. The MDTCC can mediate between you and Body Groove to reach a fair settlement.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
The cancellation process is straightforward if you follow the right steps, and the vast majority of users cancel successfully without further charges or delays.
Mistake 1: cancelling only on one platform without notifying Body Groove
Many users cancel through the App Store or Google Play and assume Body Groove is automatically notified. This is not always the case. If you cancel via an app store, the app store notifies the payment processor, but Body Groove's internal systems may not update immediately. Your membership status may remain "active" in Body Groove's records even though your billing has stopped. Always email [email protected] after you cancel through any platform to confirm the company has recorded your cancellation.
Mistake 2: not capturing proof of cancellation
Without screenshots or email confirmations, you have no evidence if Body Groove later claims your account was never cancelled. Always capture the confirmation screen, request written acknowledgment from Body Groove, and retain all emails. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions successfully by maintaining a complete documentation trail from the first cancellation attempt through final confirmation.
Mistake 3: assuming the billing cycle stops immediately
If you cancel through an app store (Apple or Google), your membership typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you are charged again after cancellation, this is usually because the cycle had not ended. Check your App Store or Google Play subscription dates to confirm when your final billing cycle concludes. Do not assume you have been overcharged; instead, verify the date against your cancellation date.
Mistake 4: failing to dispute unauthorized charges promptly
If you are charged after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider immediately (within 90 days) to file a chargeback. Delays weaken your case. Simultaneously notify Body Groove in writing and request a refund. Keep records of all communication.
Should you cancel or keep your Body Groove membership
Deciding whether to cancel depends on your fitness goals, budget, and engagement with the platform. This comparison may help you decide:
| Reason to keep |
Reason to cancel |
| You actively use dance classes 3+ times per week |
You have not used the service in over a month |
| Dance fitness aligns with your health goals |
You prefer in-person gym classes or different fitness styles |
| The Lifetime Membership cost (RM 2,827) represents long-term value for you |
You are on a tight budget and cannot justify the expense |
| You appreciate the convenience of on-demand workouts at home |
The platform has technical issues or lacks updated content |
| The class variety keeps you engaged and motivated |
You are dissatisfied with content quality or quantity |
If you are undecided, Body Groove's 30-day guarantee allows you to cancel risk-free within the first month. Use this trial period to assess whether the platform genuinely fits your fitness routine before committing to a Lifetime Membership.

Body Groove currently promotes only the Lifetime Membership model at USD 599.00. This is a one-time charge, not a recurring subscription, which means you are not billed monthly or annually. However, you may be charged once if you purchase a subscription; confirm the terms before you complete your purchase on the website or through an app store.
Accepted payment methods
Body Groove's published materials do not specify which payment methods are accepted for Malaysian customers. Typically, online subscription platforms accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and digital payment wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay). If you are unsure which method is available for your location, contact [email protected] before purchasing.
Currency conversion may apply if you pay in USD rather than MYR. Your credit card or payment provider will apply the exchange rate and any associated fees at the time of transaction. Yafee recommends checking your bank's exchange rate before purchase to confirm the total amount you will be charged in MYR.
How to escalate if Body Groove refuses to cancel
If Body Groove does not acknowledge your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation, follow this escalation procedure.
Step 1: send a formal cancellation notice via email
If your initial cancellation request goes unanswered or is denied, send a formal written notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Formal Notice of Cancellation - [Your Email Address]." In the email, state the following:
- Your full name and account email address
- The date you originally requested cancellation
- The method you used to cancel (website, Apple, Google Play)
- Screenshots or reference numbers from your cancellation attempt
- The statement: "I formally cancel my Body Groove membership effective immediately and request written confirmation of this cancellation within 48 hours."
- A demand for a full refund if applicable (e.g., within the 10-day cooling-off period or the 30-day guarantee)
Send this email via a method that provides read receipt (e.g., registered email or a platform that tracks delivery). Body Groove should respond within 48-72 hours.
Step 2: contact your payment provider (bank or e-wallet service)
If Body Groove continues to charge you without authorization after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider and explain the situation. Provide the company with a copy of your cancellation request and any evidence that you attempted to cancel. Most banks and payment providers allow you to file a dispute or chargeback within 90 days of an unauthorized charge. A chargeback forces Body Groove to refund you or defend the charge to your bank.
Step 3: file a complaint with the ministry of domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism (MDTCC)
If Body Groove refuses to cancel your membership or continues to charge you after a valid cancellation request, file a formal complaint with the MDTCC. The MDTCC enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can investigate Body Groove's conduct, mediate disputes, and pursue enforcement action against the company. You can lodge a complaint online at the MDTCC website (mdtcc.gov.my) or visit your nearest office.
When filing a complaint, provide the MDTCC with:
- Proof of your cancellation request (emails, screenshots, reference numbers)
- Evidence of unauthorized charges (bank statements, payment records)
- Copies of all correspondence with Body Groove
- A clear description of what you want the company to do (cancel your membership and refund your money)
The MDTCC will contact Body Groove on your behalf and can compel the company to comply with consumer law or face regulatory penalties. This process is free for consumers and is a powerful leverage tool if the company ignores your direct requests.
