How to cancel Flyefit: your legal rights and step-by-step guide for malaysia
What Flyefit is and why cancellation matters
Flyefit is a gym membership service operated by the FLYEfit chain, which is based in Ireland. If you have signed up for a recurring monthly subscription, you are enrolled in an overseas service that bills your account in advance via direct debit. Many members in Malaysia join Flyefit while travelling or through online sign-up, then find cancellation unclear when they want to stop. This guide walks you through your legal position, the exact cancellation steps, and what happens after you submit your request.
Understanding the Flyefit membership model
Flyefit operates two membership tiers: a single-location Gym Membership (€38.00 per month, approximately RM194) and a Roaming Membership with access to all locations (€41.00 per month, approximately RM210). Both are recurring monthly charges billed in advance by direct debit, which means the subscription auto-renews on a fixed date each month until you formally cancel. You do not pay per visit; you pay for the right to access the gym during that billing period. According to Flyefit's published terms, no refunds apply for unused sessions or partial months.
The practical consequence is straightforward: if you stop attending halfway through a billing cycle, the charge continues unless you cancel in writing before your next renewal date. This is why timing your cancellation correctly is essential, and why Yafee has created this guide.
Why malaysian members face unique challenges
Flyefit has no local branch, office, or cancellation address in Malaysia. All support flows through the Irish parent company via email at [email protected]. There is no phone line, no live chat, and no walk-in cancellation option. Support hours are not publicly specified, which means email responses may take several days, particularly across time zones. If you joined Flyefit while living in Ireland or visiting, or if you enrolled online without realising it was an overseas service, you now face a cross-border cancellation process. Yafee recommends treating this as an international subscription dispute and documenting every step.
Your legal rights under malaysian consumer law
Your cancellation rights are protected by Malaysian consumer legislation, even though Flyefit operates from Ireland.
Consumer protection framework in malaysia
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA) protects you as a consumer when you enter a contract for goods or services. Flyefit's membership is classified as a service contract. Under the CPA, you have the right to fair contract terms, accurate information about recurring charges, and the ability to cancel without unreasonable obstruction. If Flyefit has charged your account without your explicit consent to the renewal, or if the cancellation process is deliberately obscured, that may constitute an unfair contract term under Section 23 of the CPA.
Furthermore, the CPA requires that contract terms be transparent and that businesses inform you in plain language about automatic renewal. If Flyefit's terms or billing notifications failed to make this clear, you may have grounds to challenge the charge or demand a refund. Yafee advises documenting the exact wording Flyefit used when you signed up.
Your legal position on refunds and timing
Under Malaysian consumer law, you are entitled to cancel a recurring subscription at any time. However, the CPA distinguishes between cancellation (the right to stop future charges) and refund (recovery of past charges). Flyefit's published terms state that no refunds are issued for unused sessions or partial months. This restriction is likely enforceable because you are purchasing access to a facility for a defined period, not a guaranteed number of visits.
Consequently, your legal priority is to cancel before your next billing date, so no additional charge posts to your account. If a charge has already posted after you submitted a cancellation request, you may dispute that specific charge through your bank or credit card issuer as a mistaken or unauthorized transaction. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 also allows you to lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs if Flyefit refuses to honour a valid cancellation request.

How to cancel Flyefit: step-by-step process
Cancellation of Flyefit requires a written request submitted before your next renewal date. Follow these steps in the exact order to ensure the cancellation takes effect.
Step 1: gather your membership details and billing information
Before you contact Flyefit, retrieve four critical pieces of information from your account or bank records.
- Log into your Flyefit member account (via the MYFLYE portal or the Flyefit website at flyefit.ie)
- Take a screenshot of your membership tier (Gym or Roaming)
- Record the renewal date shown on your account
- Note your membership number if displayed
- Check your bank statement or direct debit history for the most recent Flyefit charge
- Screenshot the transaction date and amount
- Note the exact debit date so you know when the next charge will post
- Identify the email address registered to your Flyefit account
- This is the email you will use in your cancellation request
- Confirm it matches the account you want to close
- Calculate your cancellation deadline
- Your next charge will post on your renewal date (usually 24 to 48 hours before)
- Flyefit's email processing time is typically 2 to 5 business days
- Submit your cancellation at least 7 days before your renewal date to ensure processing
Step 2: check your account for an online cancellation option
Flyefit's help centre notes that cancellation can be managed through the MYFLYE member account. Before sending an email, attempt to cancel directly in your account.
- Open your Flyefit member portal at flyefit.ie or log into the MYFLYE app
- Navigate to Account Settings or Membership Settings
- Look for a "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription" button
- If a cancel option is visible, click it and follow the on-screen prompts
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page
- Note the confirmation reference number or date if provided
- Proceed to Step 5 (After Cancellation) - you may not need to email
- If no cancel button appears, proceed to Step 3 (email cancellation)
- The account portal may not be fully functional for overseas members
- Email remains the reliable fallback method
Step 3: compose and send your cancellation email
Yafee recommends drafting a clear, formal email to Flyefit's member service address. This email creates a documented record of your cancellation request, which is essential if a dispute arises later.
- Compose an email to [email protected] with the following details
- Subject line: "Membership Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name] - [Membership Number]"
- Body content (in your own words): "I request immediate cancellation of my Flyefit membership effective [date]. My membership number is [if available], registered email is [your email], and my current renewal date is [date]. Please confirm in writing that my membership has been cancelled and no further charges will be processed. I have attached screenshots of my current membership details and most recent payment."
- Attach supporting documents
- Screenshot of your account showing membership tier and renewal date
- Screenshot of your most recent payment or bank statement showing the Flyefit charge
- Any confirmation email from Flyefit when you originally joined
- Send the email from the same address registered to your account
- Do not send from a different email unless you clearly state the reason
- Keep a copy of the sent email in your records
- Note the exact date and time you sent the email
- This timestamp proves when you initiated cancellation
- It is essential if your next charge posts and you need to dispute it
Step 4: follow up if you do not receive confirmation within 5 business days
Flyefit's support email is not always immediate, particularly for overseas requests during non-Irish business hours. If your renewal date is approaching and you have not received a cancellation confirmation, take action.
- Wait 5 full business days from when you sent your original cancellation email
- Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding Irish public holidays
- If you emailed on a Friday, the 5-day clock starts Monday
- If no reply arrives by day 5, send a follow-up email to [email protected]
- Subject line: "URGENT: Cancellation Confirmation Required - [Your Name] - Reference [Date of Original Email]"
- Body: "I submitted a cancellation request on [date]. I have not received confirmation. My renewal date is [date], which is [X] days away. Please confirm my cancellation immediately to avoid an unwanted charge."
- If you receive no response by day 2 before your renewal date, take protective action immediately (see Step 5)
Step 5: protect yourself if a charge posts after cancellation
If Flyefit charges your account after you submitted a cancellation request, you have legal recourse under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
- Check your bank account or card statement on your renewal date
- If no charge appears, cancellation was successful - proceed to After Cancellation section below
- If a charge posts, document the transaction immediately
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer within 24 hours of noticing the charge
- Report the charge as unauthorized or mistaken
- Provide your cancellation email and confirmation details
- Request a chargeback or reversal
- Banks typically process reversals within 10 to 15 business days
- Send a formal dispute email to Flyefit, copying your bank details
- Subject: "FORMAL DISPUTE: Unauthorized Charge After Cancellation Request"
- Body: "I cancelled my membership on [date] via email to this address. A charge of [amount] posted to my account on [date] in breach of that cancellation. I have disputed this charge with my bank and am filing a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Please reverse this charge immediately."
- Attach copies of your original cancellation email, the bank statement showing the charge, and your bank's reference number
- If Flyefit does not respond or refuses to reverse the charge, escalate to the Ministry (see Rights section above)
What happens after you cancel Flyefit
Once your cancellation takes effect, several things occur automatically. Knowing what to expect prevents unnecessary worry.
Immediate changes to your account
After Flyefit processes your cancellation, your membership access will end on the date specified in your cancellation email (or on your final renewal date if no specific end date was agreed). You will no longer be able to access the gym or the MYFLYE app. Any digital credentials or keycards linked to your account will stop working. If you are an overseas member, you will receive no further communication from Flyefit unless you contact them directly.
Billing and final charges
Your direct debit mandate to Flyefit will be cancelled. No future monthly charges will post to your account. If you pre-paid any months beyond your cancellation date, or if you had a credit balance, check Flyefit's refund policy - the standard rule is that credits are not refunded, but it is worth confirming in your cancellation confirmation email. Yafee recommends keeping your bank's cancellation confirmation email for at least 12 months as proof that the subscription ended.
Record-keeping after cancellation
Create a folder or document to store the following items permanently:
- Your original cancellation email and Flyefit's confirmation reply (if received)
- Screenshots of your account showing cancellation status
- Bank statements showing no charges after the cancellation date
- Any dispute or chargeback reference numbers from your bank
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Flyefit
Most cancellation problems are preventable. These are the errors that members most often regret.
Waiting until your renewal date to cancel
The single biggest mistake is delaying your cancellation until the day your membership renews. Email takes 2 to 5 days to reach Flyefit, and processing takes another 1 to 2 days. If you email on your renewal date, you will almost certainly be charged before the cancellation is processed. Instead, submit your request at least 7 to 10 days early. This gives Flyefit a clear processing window and you peace of mind.
Assuming account deletion means cancellation
Some members delete the Flyefit app or close their account access, then think the subscription has ended. It has not. The app is just a user interface; the subscription contract and direct debit mandate remain active with your bank. You must submit a formal cancellation request to Flyefit in writing. App deletion alone will not stop the charges.
Cancelling your direct debit without notifying Flyefit
If you stop the direct debit payment at your bank without cancelling through Flyefit, the gym may continue to attempt collection, which can trigger overdraft fees or bank penalties on your account. Furthermore, you remain in breach of contract, and Flyefit may pursue recovery action. Always cancel with Flyefit first, then confirm your bank has stopped the mandate.
Not documenting your cancellation request
If you phone Flyefit (if a number is ever available) or speak to staff at a gym location, always follow up with a written email. Verbal cancellations are not enforceable under the CPA. Your email creates the legal record. Without it, Flyefit can deny receiving your request, and you have no proof.
Ignoring a post-cancellation charge
If a charge appears after you cancelled, do not assume it is a mistake that will automatically reverse. Contact your bank within 24 hours. Banks have strict time limits for disputes (typically 60 to 120 days), and if you delay, you may lose the right to claim the money back. Yafee strongly recommends acting immediately.

Both plans renew automatically on your billing date each month. No lock-in contract or minimum term is enforced in Flyefit's published terms, which means you can cancel after one month if you choose. However, you remain liable for each complete billing month until cancellation is processed.

How yafee helps with cancellations
Cancelling a recurring subscription should not feel like an obstacle course. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel gym memberships, software subscriptions, and other recurring services by providing clear legal guidance and step-by-step processes. Our contract law specialists research the exact cancellation address, contact methods, and consumer rights for each service, so you have accurate, current information before you reach out.
At Yafee, we believe transparency is your right. If a company makes cancellation deliberately difficult or ignores a valid cancellation request, that is a breach of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Yafee connects you with the legal framework that protects you and shows you exactly how to enforce it. Whether you are in Malaysia or any other country, Yafee's guides translate complex contract law into simple, actionable steps.
If Flyefit fails to honour your cancellation or continues to charge after you have formally requested to cancel, Yafee recommends escalating your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the Ministry investigates unfair contract terms and forced subscription renewal. Your cancellation email and bank statements will be your evidence.
Key takeaways and final steps
Cancelling Flyefit is achievable if you follow the process in order. Your legal right to cancel is absolute under Malaysian consumer law, regardless of whether Flyefit is based in Ireland. The practical challenge is timing: you must submit your cancellation in writing at least 7 to 10 days before your renewal date, document the request, and monitor your bank account for unwanted charges.
Your next action is to gather your membership details today, check your account for an online cancel option, and if none exists, draft your cancellation email to [email protected]. Do not delay. Every day you wait increases the risk that your next renewal will process before Flyefit has time to stop it. If you are unsure about any step, Yafee's contract law specialists are available to guide you through the process and to help you understand your rights. Remember: you have the legal right to cancel at any time. Exercise it now.
