Frequently asked questions
Cancel Gymmaster: The Right Way to Protect Your Rights
How to cancel your Gymmaster membership and protect your rights in new zealand
Understanding Gymmaster and why you might want to cancel
Gymmaster is a membership and club management platform operated by Treshna Enterprises that handles billing, access control and member administration for gyms and fitness clubs throughout New Zealand. Your gym uses Gymmaster to process your payments, manage your membership status and control your facility access.
You may be here because you've decided to switch to another gym, you're unhappy with the service quality, or your personal circumstances have changed. Whatever the reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process, and Yafee is here to guide you through it step by step.
How Gymmaster works for members
Gymmaster operates in two distinct ways. First, your gym's staff use the platform to manage all member accounts, billing and access permissions. Second, many gyms enable a member portal or mobile app that lets you view your account details and sometimes request or initiate cancellation yourself.
The key thing to understand is that Gymmaster is a tool owned by Treshna Enterprises. Your gym controls the settings, including whether you can cancel directly through the app or whether you must contact staff in person to request cancellation.
Common reasons to cancel
Members often cancel because they've relocated, found a closer gym, experienced billing issues, or are simply no longer using their membership. None of these reasons require you to justify your cancellation to your gym. You have consumer rights under New Zealand law, and Yafee is here to help you exercise them.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
The Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act give you important protections when cancelling a gym membership.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you signed up for your Gymmaster membership in person, online or by phone, you have the right to cancel within 14 calendar days without giving a reason. This is your cooling-off period, and it is one of your strongest legal protections.
You must notify your gym in writing within those 14 days. After that window closes, your gym can enforce any notice period they've set in your membership terms, typically 28 days or longer. Writing includes email, so contact your gym by email and keep the confirmation message.
Your legal position: Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1987, you have an automatic right to cancel within 14 days of purchase. Your gym cannot refuse this cancellation or charge you a penalty during this period. If your gym claims otherwise, escalate to the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz).
Ongoing membership protections
After the cooling-off period ends, you still have rights under the Fair Trading Act 1986. Your gym must not charge you unfairly, must be transparent about all fees, and must honour the terms you agreed to in your membership contract.
If your gym charges you after you've submitted a valid cancellation request, or refuses to process your cancellation without a valid contractual reason, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from a consumer advocate. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmation emails and payment records. These protect you if disputes arise later.
Methods to cancel your Gymmaster membership
Your cancellation route depends on whether your gym has enabled self-service cancellation through the Gymmaster portal or app.
Cancel via the Gymmaster member portal or app
If your gym has activated this feature, you can cancel directly without contacting staff. The process is quick and creates an instant digital record.
- Open the Gymmaster app or log into your member portal on your gym's website
- Navigate to your account settings or membership section
- Look for "Cancel Membership" or "Request Cancellation"
- "Cancel Membership" ends your membership after any notice period your gym has set
- "Request Cancellation" sends a formal cancellation request to your gym's staff for approval
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen and note the date and time
- Check your email for a confirmation message from Gymmaster or your gym within 24 hours
If you see "Request Cancellation" rather than "Cancel Membership", your gym requires staff approval. This does not give your gym the right to refuse your cancellation; it simply means they process it manually. Follow up within 2 business days if you do not receive written confirmation.
Cancel by email
If the Gymmaster app does not offer a cancellation option, you must contact your gym directly. Email is the safest method because it creates a written record.
- Find your gym's email address on their website or your membership welcome email
- Compose an email with the subject line "Membership Cancellation Request" and include:
- Your full name
- Your membership number (if you have it)
- Your date of birth
- Your desired cancellation date
- A statement that you wish to cancel your membership effective immediately or within your contractual notice period
- Send the email to your gym's main contact address
- Save the email you send and the confirmation you receive
- Expect a response within 5 business days
Cancel in person
If you prefer face-to-face cancellation, visit your gym during opening hours and speak to the front desk or manager.
- Ask to speak to the manager or a staff member who can process membership cancellations
- Provide your full name and membership number
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your membership
- Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation date and any notice period
- Request a printed receipt or email confirmation before you leave
In-person cancellation works well if your gym is local, but always request written confirmation. Do not rely on verbal assurance alone, as Gymmaster is managed by Treshna Enterprises and disputes often depend on documented communication.
Cancel by phone
If email or in-person cancellation is not practical, call your gym and ask to be transferred to membership services.
- Call during business hours and ask to speak to the membership team
- Provide your full name and membership number
- Clearly state that you wish to cancel your membership
- Ask for the effective cancellation date and any notice period
- Request that they send you written confirmation by email immediately after the call
- Do not hang up until you receive the confirmation email
Timeline and notice periods for your cancellation
Your cancellation timeline depends on whether you're within the 14-day cooling-off period or beyond it.
Within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of signing up, your cancellation is immediate. Your gym cannot enforce a notice period or charge you a cancellation fee. This protection applies regardless of what your membership contract states.
After the 14-day cooling-off period
Once the 14-day period expires, your gym can enforce the notice period written in your membership agreement. Most gyms require 14 to 28 days' notice. Your cancellation becomes effective at the end of that period.
For example, if your contract requires 28 days' notice and you submit your cancellation request on 1 March, your membership will end on 29 March. Your gym can charge you for those 28 days. Yafee recommends checking your original membership contract or asking your gym directly about their notice period before you submit your cancellation.
Billing and cancellation timing
Time your cancellation carefully. If your gym charges on the 1st of each month and you cancel on the 15th, you may still be charged for the next full month if your notice period is 28 days or longer. Contact your gym before cancelling to confirm their billing cycle and when your final charge will occur.
Refunds and payment disputes after cancellation
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and whether you have paid for services you will not use.
Refunds during the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days, you must receive a full refund of all membership fees you have paid. Your gym cannot deduct administration charges, cancellation fees or access charges. This is a statutory right under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1987.
Request your refund in writing when you submit your cancellation. State that you are cancelling within the cooling-off period and expect a full refund. Your gym must process the refund within 30 days. If they do not refund you after 30 days, escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Refunds after the 14-day cooling-off period
Once the cooling-off period expires, you are entitled to a refund only if you have paid for a period beyond your cancellation date. For example, if you paid NZD $100 for a month, cancelled after 15 days, and your contract allows this, your gym should refund you NZD $50 for the unused half-month.
However, your gym's contract may not guarantee a pro-rata refund. Read your membership agreement carefully or ask your gym in writing whether they refund unused portions. If they refuse an unfair refund, contact the Commerce Commission with evidence of your payment and cancellation date.
Disputed charges and chargebacks
If your gym continues to charge you after you've cancelled, stop the charges immediately. Contact your bank or credit card provider and report the unauthorised charges. Most banks will reverse charges made after a documented cancellation request.
Keep all evidence: your cancellation email, Gymmaster confirmation screenshots, payment statements showing charges after cancellation, and any correspondence with your gym. This evidence is essential if you need to file a dispute with the Commerce Commission.
What happens after you cancel
Once your cancellation is processed, several things occur. Yafee wants you to understand each one so you avoid surprises.
Your access to the gym
Your Gymmaster access card or app login will deactivate at the end of your notice period or cancellation date. You will not be able to enter the gym after that date. Plan your final gym visit before your cancellation becomes effective.
Final charges and billing
Your gym may charge you up to and including your final cancellation date, depending on your notice period and billing cycle. You will receive a final invoice or statement showing your last charge. Review this carefully to ensure you are not being overcharged.
Confirmation of cancellation
After your cancellation date passes, your gym should send you a cancellation confirmation email. This confirms that your membership has ended and you have no further obligations. Keep this email permanently for your records.
Check your bank statement
Monitor your bank statement or credit card for 60 days after your cancellation date. Gym cancellations sometimes take time to process in the Gymmaster system, and delayed charges can occur. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, contact your gym immediately and escalate to your bank if necessary.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the process, but a few missteps can delay your exit or create billing disputes later.
Relying on verbal cancellation
Never cancel by word of mouth alone. Your gym staff may forget to log your request, or there may be a miscommunication about the cancellation date. Always submit your cancellation in writing via email or through the Gymmaster portal. This creates a date-stamped record that protects you if disputes arise.
Missing the 14-day cooling-off period
The 14-day cooling-off period is your strongest protection. Once it expires, your gym can enforce longer notice periods and may refuse pro-rata refunds. If you signed up more than 14 days ago and are unhappy, act quickly and check your contract's notice period before submitting your cancellation.
Not keeping cancellation confirmations
Delete nothing. Save every email from your gym, every Gymmaster screenshot, every bank statement showing charges. These are your evidence if you later dispute a charge or need to escalate to the Commerce Commission. Yafee recommends creating a folder on your computer or phone labelled "Gymmaster Cancellation" and storing all documents there.
Cancelling without checking the notice period
If you cancel without knowing your gym's notice period, you may be surprised by a final charge 28 days later. Read your membership agreement before cancelling, or ask your gym their notice period in writing. This takes two minutes and prevents confusion.
Ignoring charges after cancellation
If your gym charges you after your cancellation date has passed, address it immediately. Contact your gym in writing, ask why they charged you, and request a refund. If they refuse, escalate to your bank. The longer you wait, the harder it is to reverse the charge. Do not assume the charge will disappear on its own.
Pricing and membership structures
Understanding what you pay and when helps you calculate refunds and plan your cancellation timing.
| Membership type | Typical cost (NZD) | Billing cycle | Notice period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casual / Pay-as-you-go | NZD $15-25 per visit | Per visit | None |
| Monthly unlimited | NZD $45-80 | 1 month | 14-28 days |
| Annual unlimited (best value) | NZD $400-600 | 1 year | 28-90 days |
| Class packages | NZD $200-400 | 3-6 months | 14 days |
| Premium / Personal training | NZD $80-150+ | 1 month or per session | 28-60 days |
Prices vary by gym location and membership tier. Contact your gym directly for current pricing. If you are unsure of your membership type, log into Gymmaster or check your welcome email from your gym.
Comparison: Gymmaster vs other gym booking systems
Gymmaster is one of several membership management platforms used by gyms in New Zealand. Understanding how Gymmaster compares helps you know what to expect during cancellation.
| Platform | Operator | Self-service cancellation | Typical notice period | Escalation route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gymmaster | Treshna Enterprises | Yes (if enabled by gym) | 14-28 days | Commerce Commission |
| Mariana Tek | Mariana Tek Inc. | Sometimes | 14-30 days | Commerce Commission |
| Mindbody | Mindbody Inc. | Yes | 7-30 days | Commerce Commission |
| Zen Planner | Zen Planner LLC | Yes | 14-30 days | Commerce Commission |
| Manual (paper records) | Gym staff | No (staff-only) | 14-90 days | Commerce Commission |
All platforms are subject to the same Consumer Guarantees Act protections. Regardless of which system your gym uses, you retain the right to cancel within 14 days without reason and to challenge unfair charges through the Commerce Commission.
How to contact gymmaster's parent company if your gym does not respond
If your gym fails to process your cancellation after you've submitted a written request, or if they refuse to honour your 14-day cooling-off period, you can escalate to Treshna Enterprises, the company behind Gymmaster.
Escalation to treshna enterprises
Write to Treshna Enterprises with all evidence of your cancellation request. Include your membership number, the date you submitted your cancellation, a copy of your cancellation email or confirmation screenshot, and a clear statement of what you want (cancellation date, refund amount, or resolution).
Contact Treshna Enterprises via their official website or by requesting contact details from your gym. Yafee recommends sending your escalation letter by email with read receipt enabled so you have proof of delivery.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Treshna Enterprises does not respond within 14 days, or if your gym refuses to honour your cancellation rights, escalate to the Commerce Commission. The Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) enforces the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act in New Zealand.
- Gather all evidence: your cancellation request email, Gymmaster screenshots, payment statements, and any responses from your gym or Treshna Enterprises
- Visit comcom.govt.nz and click "Make a complaint"
- Provide your details, your gym's name, your membership dates and the issue (e.g., refusal to cancel, ongoing charges after cancellation)
- Upload all evidence as attachments
- Submit your complaint
The Commerce Commission will contact your gym on your behalf and investigate. If your gym has breached the Consumer Guarantees Act or Fair Trading Act, the Commission can force them to honour your cancellation or refund you. This service is free and does not require you to hire a lawyer.
