Frequently asked questions
Cancel Cardinal Fitness: The Right Way
How to cancel Cardinal Fitness: the complete malaysian guide to stopping recurring charges
What Cardinal Fitness is and how it works in malaysia
Cardinal Fitness operates as a digital fitness subscription service with auto-renewal billing, not a traditional gym chain with physical locations in Malaysia. You gain access to exercise content and fitness services through online account management, and the service charges your payment method automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before renewal.
The critical issue for Malaysian members is that Cardinal Fitness has no verified local operating address, no dedicated Malaysian support centre, and no physical gym network in Malaysia as of 2026. If something goes wrong with your account or billing, you will need to contact international support hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM US Central Standard Time) via email or a US-based phone number. This creates friction for local members seeking same-day help.
The service launched with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. If you take no action before day 7 ends, your account converts to a paid recurring subscription automatically, and your first charge posts immediately after the trial closes. This auto-enrolment mechanism is standard for digital subscriptions, but it catches many users off guard if they forget the trial end date.
Cardinal Fitness pricing and billing cycles in malaysian ringgit
Cardinal Fitness charges in US dollars on its primary website, but when billed to Malaysian payment cards, the charge converts using your card issuer's exchange rate, typically around 1 USD = RM4.70 to RM4.75. The main plans are Cardinal Pass and Cardinal plus F45 Membership, both billed quarterly (every 3 months). Yafee research has identified the following structure:
| Plan name | USD per quarter | Estimated MYR | Billing cycle | Trial period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cardinal Pass | $94.00 | RM 442-445 | Every 3 months | 7 days free |
| Cardinal plus F45 Membership | $156.00 | RM 733-738 | Every 3 months | 7 days free |
| Pay-as-you-go (if available) | Variable | Variable | Per use or month | None stated |
These prices are converted from USD at current rates and may vary depending on your card issuer's foreign exchange markup. Exchange rate differences of RM5-RM15 per charge are normal. You do not have the option to switch currencies on the Cardinal Fitness website; all billing occurs in USD regardless of your location.
Why malaysian members struggle to cancel
The largest complaint from Malaysian users centres on hidden cancellation routes and the lack of a local support telephone line. The Cardinal Fitness cancellation procedure exists, but it is not advertised prominently on the website or in the account dashboard. Many members assume they must email support and wait for a reply; in fact, you can cancel directly from your account settings on the web portal.
Yafee has documented cases where Malaysian members missed cancellation deadlines because they did not receive reminder emails before renewal. The service does not guarantee that you will receive a "cancellation confirmation" email immediately after you request cancellation, which leaves some users uncertain whether the action worked. Furthermore, if you signed up via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (not the web), your cancellation route is entirely different and passes through the app store's billing system, not Cardinal Fitness directly.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel Cardinal Fitness and avoid unwanted charges rests on two legal pillars: the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) and the Distance Contracts Regulations under that Act, both enforced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.
The legal framework for digital subscriptions in malaysia
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, a consumer (you) has the right to cancel a distance contract-a contract made at a distance, such as online-within 14 days of purchase without penalty or loss, provided you have not begun to use the service in full. For a 7-day free trial, the 14-day cooling-off period starts on the day you first receive access to the trial, not the day you pay. Consequently, you have until day 21 from trial start to cancel and avoid the first charge.
However, once you have used the service substantially (for example, streamed multiple workout sessions or accessed premium content), the right to cancel without reason may be forfeited under the "partial use" exception. This is why cancellation during the free trial is critical. If you cancel during the trial, the supplier cannot charge you. If you cancel after paid charges have begun, you can only request a refund if the supplier breached the contract or if the service was fundamentally unfit for purpose.
Your legal position on recurring charges
Your legal position: You are entitled to explicit, clear consent before Cardinal Fitness takes any recurring charge from your account. The Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Regulations 2012 require that you approve the exact amount, frequency, and duration of charging before the first payment is taken. If you did not actively consent to auto-renewal (for example, if you thought the trial was free and perpetual), you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank and lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the burden of proof that you consented lies with Cardinal Fitness, not with you.
If Cardinal Fitness refuses to refund an unauthorised charge, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup) via their consumer complaint portal at www.mycc.org.my. The Ministry investigates breaches of consumer protection law free of charge and can compel the supplier to refund money or provide remedies. Yafee recommends keeping all email correspondence and payment receipts as evidence.
How to cancel Cardinal Fitness: step-by-step methods
Your cancellation method depends on how you signed up: via the Cardinal Fitness website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play Store. Each route has different steps and timelines. Cancel as soon as you decide to leave, because each method requires at least 24 hours to process, and some take 3-5 business days to reflect in your billing system.
Method 1: cancel via the Cardinal Fitness website (fastest route)
Logging in and cancelling directly on the Cardinal Fitness website is the fastest and most verifiable method. You can complete this in under 2 minutes and receive a digital record of the cancellation.
- Open a web browser and go to Cardinal Fitness (the official domain for your region; for Malaysia, use the main withcardinal.com portal or the regional version if available).
- Do not use a link from an email or text message; type the domain directly into your browser to avoid phishing sites.
- Click Sign In or Log In at the top of the page.
- Enter the email address you used to create your account.
- Enter your password. If you have forgotten it, click Forgot Password and follow the reset email.
- Once logged in, click your profile icon or Account Settings (usually top-right corner or in a menu dropdown).
- Look for a section labelled Subscription, Billing, My Plans, or Account Details.
- Find your active subscription and click the option to Manage Subscription, Edit Subscription, or Cancel Plan.
- Read the on-screen confirmation message carefully. It will state your cancellation effective date and the last date you retain access.
- Click the red or final Confirm Cancellation button.
- Cardinal Fitness will display a confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot immediately.
- Check your email inbox (including spam/promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email within 5 minutes.
- Reply to the confirmation email with a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page, and keep both in a folder for your records.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within 10 minutes, log back in and verify that your subscription status has changed to Cancelled or Inactive. If it still shows Active, repeat steps 3-5.
Method 2: cancel via the apple app store (if you signed up on iPhone or iPad)
If you subscribed to Cardinal Fitness through the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system. Cancelling in the Cardinal Fitness app itself will not stop the charge; Apple will continue to bill your linked payment method.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- If you are using a Mac, open System Settings instead.
- Tap or click your name at the top (or Apple ID in older iOS versions).
- If you have multiple Apple IDs, make sure you are signed into the one you used to subscribe to Cardinal Fitness.
- Tap or click Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find Cardinal Fitness in the list and tap or click it.
- The screen will show your plan name, the next billing date, and the price per cycle.
- Tap or click Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancelling (optional feedback). You do not have to answer; tap Cancel Subscription again to proceed.
- After you tap Cancel Subscription the second time, Apple displays a final confirmation screen showing that your subscription is now Cancelled and your access ends on the stated date.
- Take a screenshot of this screen. Your cancellation is now complete in Apple's system and will not renew.
- Email this screenshot to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation confirmation - Apple App Store" and your Apple ID email address.
- Retain a copy of this email and the screenshot in your records.
Method 3: cancel via google play store (if you signed up on android)
If you subscribed via Google Play Store on an Android phone or tablet, Google manages your billing and subscription. Yafee recommends cancelling through Google Play to ensure the charge stops immediately.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- If you do not have it, download it from the official Play Store or your device manufacturer's app store.
- Tap your profile icon (circular image in the top-right corner).
- Select Payments and Subscriptions or Manage My Subscriptions (exact wording varies by Android version).
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions on this Google Play account.
- Find Cardinal Fitness and tap it.
- Review the plan name, next billing date, and price.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Google Play may ask why you are cancelling (optional). You can skip this or provide feedback.
- Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm.
- Google Play displays a final confirmation showing that your subscription is cancelled. Take a screenshot.
- Send this screenshot to [email protected] with the subject "Cancellation confirmation - Google Play Store" and your Google Play email address.
- Save a copy of your email and the screenshot for your own records.
Method 4: cancel by email if you cannot access your account
If you cannot log in to your account, have lost your password, or suspect fraudulent activity, contact Cardinal Fitness support by email to request manual cancellation.
- Compose an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation request - [Your Email Address]".
- In the email, include:
- Your full name as it appears on the account.
- The email address linked to your Cardinal Fitness account.
- The phone number (if you provided one during sign-up).
- Your current subscription plan name (e.g., Cardinal Pass or Cardinal plus F45).
- Your next billing date (if you know it).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription, effective [today's date]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and provide the date on which my account will be deactivated."
- Send the email from the same email address associated with your Cardinal Fitness account.
- This helps Cardinal Fitness verify your identity.
- Allow 3-5 business days for a response. Cardinal Fitness support typically replies within this window.
- Check your inbox, spam, and promotions folders daily.
- When you receive the cancellation confirmation email, reply with: "Confirmed - I acknowledge receipt of my cancellation notice and will expect no further charges after [stated date]."
- Save this entire email thread as proof of cancellation.
- If you do not receive a reply within 5 business days, send a follow-up email marked "URGENT - Follow-up cancellation request" and include your original email date and time.
- If Cardinal Fitness fails to cancel your account and charges you again, file a dispute with your bank and lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (details below).
What happens after you cancel: timeline and access
Cancellation does not stop your access immediately; you retain full access until the end of your paid billing cycle. Understanding this timeline prevents confusion and surprise when your account becomes inactive.
Your access period after cancellation
When you cancel, Cardinal Fitness processes your request and marks your account as "cancelled" in their system. You can still log in and use all services until 11:59 PM on the last day of your paid quarter. After that date, your account is locked and you cannot stream content or access any premium features. No refund is issued for the unused portion of the current billing cycle unless you cancelled during the 7-day free trial.
For example, if your subscription renews on 30 September 2025 and you cancel on 1 September 2025, you have paid for the full quarter through 29 December 2025. You retain access until 11:59 PM on 29 December, and your account locks on 30 December. You will not be charged again on 30 December. Consequently, the timing of your cancellation within the current cycle does not affect your right to keep access until the paid period ends.
After your cancellation is complete
You are safe now. Cardinal Fitness will not charge your card again after the cancellation date passes. However, take these steps to confirm:
- Wait until the day after your final paid access date expires. Check your bank account and credit card statement to verify that no new charge appears.
- If you see a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute. Reference your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots as evidence that you requested and received cancellation.
- Do not delete your cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots, or bank statements for at least 6 months. These are your proof if a dispute arises.
- If you want to rejoin Cardinal Fitness later, you will sign up as a new member and may qualify for another 7-day free trial, depending on Cardinal Fitness's eligibility rules.
Refunds and what you can claim under malaysian law
Refund eligibility depends on whether you cancel during the free trial, during the paid subscription, or after an unauthorised charge. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 sets strict rules about when you can demand money back.
Cancellation during the free trial (14-day cooling-off period)
If you cancel within 14 days of your trial start date, you have an absolute legal right to a full refund of any charges incurred. The trial itself is free, so no refund applies to the trial period. However, if Cardinal Fitness charged you before the trial ended or if you were somehow billed during the trial window, you must be refunded in full.
To claim this refund, send an email to [email protected] stating: "I cancel my Cardinal Fitness subscription within the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. My trial began on [date], which is within 14 days of today. I request a full refund of any charges to my account." Include proof of your trial start date (email receipt or app screenshot). Yafee recommends requesting the refund within 7 days to avoid disputes about the 14-day timeline.
Cancellation after the paid subscription has begun
Once you have used the service for a substantial period (after the free trial ends and you have made multiple log-ins or accessed content), you lose the automatic right to cancel and receive a refund. Nevertheless, you retain the right to cancel future charges and prevent renewal. The current paid cycle is non-refundable unless the service was defective or Cardinal Fitness breached the contract (for example, if the service was unavailable for the entire month or if you were charged twice in one cycle by error).
If you believe Cardinal Fitness breached the contract or delivered a defective service, you can request a partial refund or credit for the faulty period. Send an email describing the issue (e.g., "The service was offline for 10 days in August, preventing me from accessing workouts") and request a credit of 10 days' worth of fees (approximately 30% of RM444 = RM130 credit for a month-long outage). Cardinal Fitness may refuse, but you have the right to escalate this to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living as a complaint about service quality.
Dispute resolution: if Cardinal Fitness refuses your refund
If Cardinal Fitness denies your refund request or fails to respond within 14 days, you can escalate the matter to your bank and file a formal consumer complaint.
| Action | Timeline | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Bank dispute (chargeback) | 1-7 days to initiate | Contact your bank, reference your cancellation email, and request a reversal of the Cardinal Fitness charge. |
| Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living complaint | Submit within 6 months of the charge | Visit www.mycc.org.my or call 1-800-80-1234 (toll-free). File a consumer complaint with proof of your cancellation request and the disputed charge. |
| Small Claims Court | File anytime within 6 years | For claims under RM5,000, file at your local Small Claims Court without a lawyer. Costs are minimal (RM25-50 filing fee). |
In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living will investigate at no cost to you. If the Ministry finds in your favour, it can compel Cardinal Fitness to refund your money and may impose penalties on the company.
Common mistakes when cancelling Cardinal Fitness
Most cancellations succeed, but these mistakes can delay or derail your request. You can avoid them by being methodical and keeping records.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the app instead of on the website
If you have the Cardinal Fitness mobile app installed, do not attempt to cancel inside the app. The cancel button inside the app does not work for most users; it redirects you to the website or does nothing at all. Log in via your web browser on a computer or mobile browser and complete cancellation on the actual website. This ensures the cancellation is processed by Cardinal Fitness's main system, not a third-party app distributor.
Mistake 2: forgetting the 7-day trial cutoff
The 7-day free trial is your window to cancel with zero charges. If you wait until day 8 or day 9, your first charge may already have posted. Yafee recommends cancelling on day 5 or 6 of your trial to give yourself a 2-day buffer. Set a phone reminder for day 5 at 9:00 AM so you do not forget.
Mistake 3: assuming an email cancellation request counts as complete
Sending an email asking to cancel is not always sufficient proof of cancellation. If you email [email protected] but do not receive a written confirmation within 5 business days, the email may have been missed or filtered. Always cancel directly via the website (Method 1 above) and take a screenshot. If you must use email, send it from the account email address and request a written confirmation reply. Do not trust the assumption that your email was read.
Mistake 4: ignoring the apple app store or google play store subscription if you signed up there
Cancelling your Cardinal Fitness account on the website will not stop an Apple App Store or Google Play Store charge. These app stores manage billing independently. You must cancel the subscription inside Apple Settings or Google Play Store settings, not in the Cardinal Fitness app itself. If you signed up via an app store and you only cancelled on the Cardinal Fitness website, you will still be charged by Apple or Google on your next billing date.
Mistake 5: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
After you cancel, check your card statement 2-3 days after your final access date expires. If a new charge appears on the date your paid cycle was supposed to renew, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute. Do not wait. The faster you report the charge, the faster your bank can reverse it and begin an investigation. Yafee recommends setting a phone calendar reminder for 2 days after your final access date to check your statement.
Should you cancel Cardinal Fitness? reasons to leave
Cancellation is the right choice if any of the following apply to your situation.
| Reason to cancel | Yafee recommendation |
|---|---|
| You are not using the service regularly (fewer than 2 workouts per week) | Cancel and try a lower-cost local gym or free YouTube fitness channels. |
| The service is not compatible with your fitness goals (you need in-person training or weightlifting equipment) | Cancel and join a local gym with equipment. Malaysian options: Impulse Fitness (RM100-500/month), RFC Fitness (RM150-600/month), or Sole Fitness Malaysia (RM200-700/month). |
| You cannot access support in Malaysia or prefer local help | Cancel and switch to a gym with a Malaysian customer service team and physical locations. |
| You are being charged in USD and seeing unfavourable exchange rates on your bill | Cancel if the converted MYR cost exceeds local alternatives. Compare the total quarterly cost (RM442-738) against local gym fees. |
| The service charged you without consent or you forgotten about the auto-renewal | Cancel immediately and file a chargeback or consumer complaint if the charge was unauthorised. |
| You prefer a gym with a physical location in your city | Cancel and visit a local branch for one-on-one guidance. Digital-only fitness may not suit your needs. |
Before you cancel: a final checklist
Complete this checklist to ensure your cancellation goes smoothly and you retain proof that you requested it.

- Set a phone reminder for 2 days after your final access date to check your bank statement.
