How to cancel Alo Moves before your trial auto-renews and charges your card
Why you need to cancel Alo Moves before the 14-day trial expires
Alo Moves is a fitness streaming subscription operated by ALO, LLC, the wellness brand behind the popular Alo apparel range. When you sign up in the Philippines, you receive 14 days of free access to unlimited on-demand classes spanning yoga, pilates, strength training, mobility work, and meditation. The critical issue: your trial automatically converts into a paid subscription unless you cancel explicitly before the trial period ends.
This automatic renewal mechanism catches thousands of users off guard. After your 14-day window closes, ALO charges your payment method ₱999.00 per month (or ₱10,490.00 annually, depending on your plan selection) without a second notification. Your legal right to cancel before the charge posts is absolute under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), which mandates clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms and your right to withdraw. Yafee recommends taking action within 13 days of registration to eliminate any risk of unwanted charges.
Understanding how the free trial works
Your 14-day trial begins the moment you create an Alo Moves account and provide a valid payment method. You gain full access to the entire content library during this period at no cost. The trial requires a credit or debit card on file, but ALO does not charge you during these 14 days. On day 15, if you have not cancelled, your chosen subscription plan activates and your first payment processes automatically.
Why auto-renewal charges happen and how to prevent them
The automatic renewal occurs because you agreed to the auto-renewal terms when you clicked through the sign-up process. ALO's terms disclose this structure, but the disclosure often appears in small text or requires scrolling to find. Consequently, many users miss the deadline for cancellation. Yafee emphasises that you bear no legal obligation to accept an auto-renewal charge if you cancel before your trial ends or before your next billing date arrives.

The annual plan delivers better value if you commit to using Alo Moves for a full year. The monthly option grants you more control and allows you to cancel without penalty. In either case, your next billing date is the most important date in your subscription lifecycle. Yafee advises taking a screenshot of your renewal date immediately after registration so you can set a cancellation reminder.
Deciding whether to cancel Alo Moves
Several circumstances make cancellation the right choice for your fitness and financial needs.
Reasons to cancel before your first charge posts
- The classes and instructors do not align with your fitness preferences or experience level.
- The monthly cost of ₱999.00 does not fit your current budget.
- You lack sufficient time to use the platform regularly and justify the expense.
- You prefer competing platforms such as Beachbody On Demand, Peloton Digital, or YouTube fitness channels.
- You registered by mistake or opened an account on someone else's device.
- Technical issues prevent you from accessing the content reliably.
Why postponing cancellation creates financial and legal friction
Cancelling after your first charge processes creates a more complicated refund scenario. Whilst the Consumer Act of the Philippines protects your right to receive a refund within a reasonable timeframe if ALO failed to disclose auto-renewal terms clearly, retrieving that money requires escalation. Consequently, Yafee strongly recommends cancelling before day 15 of your trial to eliminate this complication entirely. You retain a clear paper trail of your cancellation request, and no disputed charge will hang over your account.
Methods to cancel Alo Moves from the philippines
ALO provides limited cancellation channels, all routed through their US-based support system, which operates on Pacific Time (16 hours ahead of Philippine Standard Time).
Cancelling through the Alo Moves app or website
Your first option is to cancel directly within the app or website. This method generates an immediate confirmation and typically prevents the charge on your next billing date if completed before day 15 of your trial. Yafee recommends this route because it creates an instant digital record of your cancellation request.
Cancelling by contacting Alo Moves support
If you cannot locate the cancellation option in the app, you must contact ALO's customer support team via email. This process takes longer and requires follow-up, but it creates a documented email trail that serves as evidence if a dispute arises later. You will receive a confirmation email once your cancellation is processed.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
Follow these precise steps to cancel your Alo Moves subscription before your trial auto-renews.
Cancellation via the Alo Moves app or website
- Open the Alo Moves app (iOS or Android) or visit the website on your computer.

- You will see your current plan (monthly or annual) and your next billing date.
- Read the displayed renewal date carefully to confirm when your charge will occur.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel My Membership".
- The app or website may present a discount offer or ask why you are cancelling; you may skip these prompts.

- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page immediately.
- This screenshot proves you cancelled before your trial ended or before your next billing date.
- Save this screenshot to your phone, email, or cloud storage for future reference.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message within 1 to 2 hours.
- ALO typically sends an automated confirmation to the email address on your account.
- If you receive no confirmation email within 24 hours, contact support to verify the cancellation went through.
Cancellation via email to Alo Moves support
- Collect the following information before composing your email:
- Your full name and date of birth (as registered on your account).
- The email address linked to your Alo Moves account.
- Your current subscription plan (monthly or annual).
- Your next billing date (visible in your account settings).
- The payment method on file (last four digits of your card).
- Compose an email to Alo Moves support.
- Use the subject line: "Cancellation Request for Alo Moves Subscription".
- Address the email to ALO's support contact (typically [email protected] or a similar address found on their website).
- Write your request in clear, professional language.
- Draft the email body with this content structure:
- Opening: "I request immediate cancellation of my Alo Moves subscription effective immediately."
- Account details: Provide your full name, registered email, and account information.
- Reason (optional): Brief statement of why you are cancelling.
- Closing: "Please confirm receipt of this request and confirm the cancellation in writing. Thank you."
- Send the email and note the date and time you sent it.

- Set a reminder to follow up if you do not receive a response within 48 hours.
- Monitor your inbox for a confirmation email from ALO support.
- The support team typically replies within 24 to 48 business hours (Pacific Time).
- If no reply arrives, resend the email to a different support address or try the app cancellation method instead.
- Forward the cancellation confirmation email to your personal email account or print it.
- This creates a backup copy of your proof of cancellation.
- Retain this proof for at least six months in case a billing dispute arises.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) grants you explicit protection against unauthorized auto-renewal charges. Under this law, ALO must disclose all material terms of auto-renewal clearly and obtain your affirmative consent before charging you. You retain the absolute right to cancel at any time before your next billing date. If ALO charges you after you have submitted a cancellation request before the charge date, you may demand a refund without penalty.
Furthermore, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) enforces additional protections regarding how ALO stores and processes your payment information. Yafee emphasises that these protections remain enforceable whether you cancel or not.
What happens if you cannot cancel within your trial period
If your first charge has already posted to your account before you could cancel, you retain the right to request a refund under the Consumer Act. The refund window is typically 30 days from the charge date, although ALO may negotiate longer timeframes. Contact support immediately with proof of your cancellation attempt (the email you sent or the screenshot you took). In accordance with Philippine consumer protection law, ALO must respond to your refund request in writing within 15 business days and either issue the refund or explain in detail why it cannot.
After cancellation: what to expect and what to do
Cancelling your subscription does not end immediately in all cases; Yafee advises you to understand the timeline so no unexpected charges surprise you.
Access timeline after cancellation
Once you cancel, you retain access to Alo Moves content until the end of your billing period. If you cancelled during your 14-day trial, your access ends on day 14 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. If you cancelled after your paid subscription began, you can use the service through the end of the month (or year, if you paid annually). You cannot request a pro-rata refund for unused days within your current billing period unless you cancel immediately after a charge posts and provide written proof of your cancellation request.
Payment method removal
After cancellation, ALO retains your payment information on file for a short period (typically 30 to 90 days) to process any outstanding adjustments or refunds. You may request that ALO delete your payment method by sending a follow-up email to support. Yafee recommends this step if you do not plan to resubscribe in the future, as it limits ALO's ability to re-activate your account without your explicit consent.
Confirmation email and account status
ALO sends a cancellation confirmation email to the address on your account within 1 to 2 hours of your cancellation request. This email states your cancellation date and your final access date. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, contact support to verify the cancellation was recorded. Screenshot or print this confirmation email and keep it for six months as proof of your cancellation date.
Handling refund requests and billing disputes
If a charge posts to your account after you cancelled, or if you cancelled too late to prevent the first charge, you have a clear pathway to recover that money.
Requesting a refund from Alo Moves directly
- Gather documentary evidence:
- Screenshot of your account showing the charge date.
- Copy of your cancellation confirmation email from ALO.
- Screenshot of your bank or credit card statement showing the ₱999.00 or ₱10,490.00 charge.
- Email confirmation or sent email demonstrating you cancelled before the charge date.
- Compose a refund request email to ALO support:
- Subject: "Refund Request: Unauthorized Charge on [Your Date]".
- Body: Explain the charge, state when you cancelled (with proof), and request full refund.
- Attach or reference all documentary evidence.
- Send the email and retain a copy for your records.
- ALO support must respond within 15 business days under Philippine consumer law.
- If ALO refuses to refund, escalate to your bank or credit card issuer.
Disputing the charge with your bank or credit card issuer
If ALO does not issue a refund within 30 days of your cancellation request, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation and all correspondence with ALO. Your bank will initiate a formal dispute process, which typically resolves within 30 to 60 days. The Consumer Act of the Philippines protects your right to dispute unauthorized charges, and your bank must take your claim seriously.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancellations fail for preventable reasons, but you can sidestep every trap with these precautions.
Mistake 1: confusing app store cancellation with account cancellation
Uninstalling the Alo Moves app from your iPhone (via the App Store) or Android phone (via Google Play) does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel within the Alo Moves app or website itself, not through the app store. If you delete the app without cancelling your account first, ALO will continue to charge you on your next billing date. Always log in to Alo Moves and navigate to your subscription settings to cancel properly.
Mistake 2: assuming a cancelled payment method stops the charge
Removing your credit card from your Alo Moves account does not automatically cancel your subscription. ALO will attempt to charge your card on your billing date, and if the card is no longer on file, the charge may fail. Nevertheless, ALO will still mark your account as owing the fee and may take collection action later. You must explicitly cancel your subscription, not just remove your payment method.
Mistake 3: delaying cancellation past your trial end date
The 14-day trial window closes automatically on day 15. If you wait until day 15 or later to cancel, you have already incurred a charge. Whilst you can request a refund after the fact, the process requires weeks of back-and-forth communication. Cancel on day 13 or 14 to eliminate all ambiguity and ensure no charge posts to your account.
Mistake 4: ignoring the cancellation confirmation email
After you cancel, ALO sends a confirmation email. Some users do not read this email or check their spam folder, and consequently they miss critical information like their final access date. Open and read this email immediately, take a screenshot, and retain it. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, assume the cancellation did not process and try again via a different method.
Mistake 5: not documenting your cancellation attempt
If you cancel via email, ALO's response time can reach 48 hours or longer. You cannot prove you cancelled unless you keep the sent email and ALO's confirmation. Similarly, if you cancel via the app, screenshot the confirmation page immediately; do not rely on memory. Documentation is your only defense if a billing dispute arises weeks later.

If Alo Moves refuses to cancel your subscription or fails to refund a disputed charge, you have formal escalation channels under Philippine law.
Alo Moves corporate address and support contact
ALO, LLC (trading as Alo Moves) operates from a US-based headquarters. No Philippines-based office exists, so all cancellation and billing inquiries route through their primary support email. Send cancellation and refund requests to the support email address listed on the Alo Moves website under "Contact" or "Help". Ensure your email is dated and retain a copy.
Escalation to the national privacy commission (NPC)
If ALO fails to process your cancellation or refund request within the timeframes stated above, you may file a formal complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) regarding mishandling of your payment data. The NPC enforces the Data Privacy Act of 2012 in the Philippines and can investigate ALO's payment practices. Visit the NPC website (privacy.gov.ph) to submit a complaint.
Escalation to the department of trade and industry (DTI)
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group enforces the Consumer Act of the Philippines. If ALO violates your cancellation or refund rights under Republic Act No. 7394, you may lodge a complaint with the DTI. Contact your regional DTI office or file a complaint online at consumerprotection.dti.gov.ph. Yafee advises documenting all attempts to resolve the issue with ALO before escalating to the DTI, as agencies typically request evidence of your prior communication.
Summary: cancel Alo Moves before your trial auto-renews
Cancelling Alo Moves requires a simple but time-sensitive action: you must request cancellation no later than day 14 of your 14-day trial (or before your next billing date if you subscribed after the trial period). The app and website offer the fastest cancellation route, whilst email provides a documented trail if disputes arise later. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel streaming subscriptions on schedule and recover unauthorized charges by following these documented steps and keeping proof of their cancellation requests.
Your legal rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protect you fully: ALO cannot charge you after you have cancelled, and must refund any unauthorized charge within 30 days of your written request. If ALO resists, escalate to your bank (for a chargeback), the National Privacy Commission (for data-handling violations), or the Department of Trade and Industry (for consumer rights breaches). Do not delay. Set a reminder for day 13 of your trial right now, and cancel before that date to stay completely in control of your subscription and your money.
