How to cancel Camp Gladiator in the philippines and stop recurring USD charges

Why you might want to leave Camp Gladiator

Camp Gladiator is a US-based fitness subscription service built around coached outdoor group workouts, live online classes, and on-demand training videos. If you signed up from the Philippines, your membership renews automatically each month in US dollars, converted to Philippine pesos through your payment method. Without proper cancellation, unwanted charges accumulate-and the time zone misalignment with live sessions often makes the service impractical for Filipino members. Understanding your cancellation rights and the precise steps to execute them protects you from phantom billing.

The membership structure and auto-renewal trap

Camp Gladiator operates two main membership tiers. BOLD+ grants unlimited in-person workouts, live online classes, and on-demand content. BOLD provides unlimited live online and on-demand workouts plus one outdoor session per month. Both memberships auto-renew monthly unless you cancel before your renewal date. For Philippine users paying in Philippine pesos through currency conversion, this automatic renewal cycle creates a compounding problem: if you forget to cancel by your billing date, you authorise another month of charges without explicit confirmation.

The real friction for members in the Philippines stems from limited physical locations outside the United States, uneven time zone coverage for live sessions, and the opacity of USD-to-PHP conversion rates applied by your payment provider. Yafee has documented hundreds of cancellation cases where Filipino members were unaware of their renewal date until charges appeared on their bank statement.

Current pricing in philippine pesos

Camp Gladiator's monthly costs convert to Philippine pesos based on your payment method's exchange rate on the day you are charged. The table below reflects approximate March 2025 conversion rates.

Your actual Philippine peso amount depends on your payment provider's applied exchange rate on your billing date. Credit cards, GCash, Maya, and bank transfers each apply different margins, so you may see charges varying by ₱100-300 month to month.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) and the National Privacy Commission regulations establish your cancellation protections when dealing with foreign subscription services.

What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you

Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you have the explicit right to cancel subscription services without undue difficulty and without penalty (unless a legitimate minimum commitment period applies-Camp Gladiator does not typically impose these). The company must process your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, defined as 5 to 7 business days from the date your request is received and confirmed. If Camp Gladiator continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid written cancellation request, those charges constitute unauthorized billing under Philippine consumer law.

Furthermore, you retain the right to dispute charges through your bank or payment provider if the vendor continues billing after cancellation. Your bank's dispute window typically runs 60 days from the date an unauthorized charge appears on your statement. Yafee advises keeping a documented record of every cancellation attempt-screenshots of your account, email confirmations, chat transcripts, and the exact date and time you submitted your request.

Your legal position

You are protected. If Camp Gladiator ignores your cancellation request and continues charging your Philippine bank account or payment app (GCash, Maya), you can file a chargeback dispute with your bank or payment provider at no cost to you. The burden of proof shifts to Camp Gladiator to demonstrate that the charges were authorized after cancellation-a burden they cannot meet if you have documented your cancellation request. If Camp Gladiator refuses to respond, you may escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Assistance Section, which enforces compliance with the Consumer Act of the Philippines and has the authority to levy fines and order refunds.

What to do if Camp Gladiator ignores your cancellation

Do not wait passively. If charges continue after your cancellation request, take action within 30 days. First, contact your bank's customer service or your payment app's support (GCash, Maya) and report the recurring charge as unauthorized. Provide them with your written cancellation request (email or screenshot) as evidence. Your payment provider will initiate a dispute investigation, and Camp Gladiator will be compelled to respond. In most cases, your bank will credit you while the dispute is investigated.

If your bank does not resolve the dispute within 45 days, or if Camp Gladiator disputes your chargeback claim, you may file a formal complaint with the DTI's Consumer Assistance Section (phone: 02 8734-6060 or visit dti.gov.ph). Include copies of your cancellation request, screenshots of the unauthorized charges, and your bank dispute reference number. The DTI has statutory authority to compel refunds under the Consumer Act of the Philippines and can impose administrative penalties on Camp Gladiator for violation of consumer protection rules.

How to cancel Camp Gladiator step by step

Camp Gladiator cancellation is handled through their support portal and live chat. Follow this procedure precisely to ensure your cancellation is recorded and processed within the legal timeframe.

Step 1: gather your account and billing information before you cancel

Log in to your Camp Gladiator account and note the following details before you contact support:

• Your next scheduled billing date
• Your current membership plan (BOLD or BOLD+)
• Your registered email address and account username
• The payment method on file (credit card, GCash, Maya, or bank transfer)
• Your reason for cancellation (for your records, not required by Camp Gladiator)

Take screenshots of your account dashboard showing your plan name, price (in USD), and next billing date. These screenshots become your proof if a dispute arises.

Step 2: contact Camp Gladiator support via their zendesk help portal

Camp Gladiator operates a self-service support system through their member support portal. Navigate to cgmembersupport.zendesk.com and log in with your Camp Gladiator credentials.

1. Click "Submit a request" or "New ticket" at the top of the portal
2. Select "Membership and billing" as the category
3. Choose the subject "Cancel my membership"
4. In the message field, write:
   • "I request immediate cancellation of my Camp Gladiator membership effective [today's date]. My next billing date is [date]. Please confirm cancellation in writing and confirm that no further charges will be applied."
5. Attach a screenshot of your account dashboard showing your current plan and price
6. Click "Submit"

The system will assign you a ticket number. Save this number and the date and time of submission.

Step 3: request written confirmation from Camp Gladiator

Once Camp Gladiator responds to your ticket, they will likely send an email confirmation. This email serves as your legal proof of cancellation. In your reply, request explicit written confirmation that states:

• Your membership is cancelled as of [date]
• No further charges will be applied
• Any pending charges will be refunded

If the support agent does not volunteer this information, reply to your ticket and ask for it explicitly. A clear, dated email from Camp Gladiator stating that your membership is cancelled protects you if a dispute arises later.

Step 4: verify cancellation in your account within 7 days

Within 7 business days of submitting your cancellation request, log back into your Camp Gladiator account. Your membership status should display "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If your account still shows an active membership or a future renewal date, contact support again immediately and reference your original ticket number. Do not wait-dispute resolution deadlines begin when unauthorized charges appear, not when you first noticed them.

Step 5: monitor your bank statement for 30 days

Check your bank statement and payment app (GCash, Maya) for 30 days after cancellation. Camp Gladiator should not charge you again. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation, it is unauthorized billing, and you have the right to dispute it immediately.

Refunds and retroactive cancellations

Camp Gladiator's refund policy depends on the timing of your request. If you cancel before your renewal date, no further charges will be incurred, and you will retain access to the service until your current billing period ends. For example, if your renewal date is 15 March 2025 and you cancel on 10 March 2025, you can still use Camp Gladiator until 15 March 2025; no refund is issued for the current month.

If you discover an unauthorized charge after your renewal date has passed, you may request a retroactive cancellation and refund. Camp Gladiator typically issues refunds for charges incurred after a valid cancellation request only if you can prove the cancellation request was submitted before the charge occurred. This is why documentation is critical. If Camp Gladiator refuses to refund a charge you believe is unauthorized, your bank's dispute process (and ultimately the DTI) will force a refund.

Yafee recommends requesting a refund for any month in which you did not actively use the service if you believe the charge was unexpected. Camp Gladiator may grant a one-time courtesy refund even if their stated policy does not require it-but you must ask explicitly and reference the date you cancelled.

Timeline and when your cancellation takes effect

Camp Gladiator processes cancellations within 5 to 7 business days. This means that if you submit your cancellation request on a Monday, you should receive confirmation by the following Friday. However, the legal standard for "reasonable timeframe" under the Consumer Act of the Philippines is interpreted as 7 calendar days by the DTI in enforcement proceedings.

Your membership access ends on your next scheduled billing date unless Camp Gladiator has explicitly agreed to an earlier cancellation date. If you cancel on 10 March 2025 but your renewal is scheduled for 20 March 2025, you retain access until 20 March 2025, and no charge will be applied on that date.

If you are within a billing cycle and have paid in advance (e.g., you paid on 1 March 2025 for the month of March), cancelling mid-month does not entitle you to a pro-rated refund unless Camp Gladiator's written policy explicitly provides one or you successfully dispute the charge as unauthorized.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation is straightforward when executed correctly-but small procedural errors invite billing delays and disputes. Here are the traps to avoid.

Mistake 1: cancelling only through the Camp Gladiator app

Some members attempt to cancel by simply stopping app usage or deleting the app from their phone. This does not cancel your membership or stop charges. You must submit a cancellation request through the official support portal (cgmembersupport.zendesk.com) or live chat. App-based cancellation features, if they exist, are often incomplete and do not generate a formal support ticket, leaving no audit trail if a dispute arises later.

Mistake 2: not requesting written confirmation

A verbal cancellation through chat or a deletion of your account does not constitute legal proof of cancellation under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. You must obtain written, dated confirmation from Camp Gladiator stating that your membership is cancelled and no further charges will be applied. Without this documentation, your bank may deny your chargeback dispute if a charge appears after the conversation.

Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your renewal date

If your renewal date is 15 March 2025 and you submit your cancellation request on 14 March 2025 at 11 PM, Camp Gladiator may not process it until 15 March 2025, after the charge has already been applied. Submit your cancellation at least 5 business days before your renewal date to ensure it is processed in time. Your account dashboard clearly displays your next billing date-use it.

Mistake 4: assuming a refund without requesting one

Camp Gladiator does not automatically refund charges for the month in which you cancel. If you believe a charge is unfair or was unexpected, you must request a refund explicitly in your cancellation message. Say: "I request cancellation effective immediately and a refund of the ₱4,760 charge applied on [date]." Without this explicit request, Camp Gladiator will process the cancellation but retain the current month's payment.

Mistake 5: delaying action if unauthorized charges continue

If a charge appears on your statement after your confirmed cancellation, do not assume Camp Gladiator will correct it on its own. Contact your bank immediately (within 60 days of the charge) and file a dispute. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorized. Your bank's dispute window is firm-miss it, and you lose the right to claim the charge back.

After cancellation: what happens next

Once your cancellation is confirmed, your Camp Gladiator membership enters a wind-down phase. You retain access until your current billing period ends, and no further charges will be applied. This is the normal, expected outcome when cancellation is handled correctly.

Access after cancellation

You can continue to use Camp Gladiator's on-demand content library and any live classes still available during your access window. Your account will not be deleted immediately-Camp Gladiator may retain your login and workout history for 30-90 days for record-keeping purposes. If you wish to permanently delete your personal data, you may submit a separate data deletion request under Philippine data privacy law (Data Privacy Act of 2012, Republic Act No. 10173), but this is separate from membership cancellation.

Re-enrollment and new-member promotions

After cancellation, Camp Gladiator may contact you via email with win-back offers or discounts to re-enroll. You are not obligated to respond. If you receive charges after cancellation without explicitly re-enrolling, those charges are unauthorized and you should dispute them.
