Chalk Performance Training is a subscription-based fitness platform that delivers personalised training programs, nutrition guidance and progress tracking through their website and mobile app. The service focuses on performance-driven strength development, particularly for golf-related fitness goals, and pairs you with real coach support for ongoing accountability and programme adjustment.
You might decide to cancel for legitimate reasons: the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget, you've reached your fitness goals, or you've found a training approach that suits you better. Whatever your motivation, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process that protects your rights and your bank account. Yafee has guided thousands of Singapore consumers through fitness platform cancellations, and this guide will walk you through every step with legal precision and plain language.
Common reasons to cancel Chalk
You may cancel if the approximately S$40.50 monthly fee strains your budget, if progress has plateaued, or if your training priorities have shifted away from performance coaching. You might also cancel if the platform's features no longer match your needs, or if you prefer group fitness, in-person coaching or a different training philosophy. None of these reasons require justification-your decision to cancel is yours alone.
Why understanding your deadline matters
Chalk's Terms of Service enforce a strict 15-day notice requirement before your billing date. If you miss this window, you will be charged for the next full billing term automatically. This single deadline is the most critical piece of information in this entire guide, and you should note it in your calendar immediately.
Your consumer rights in singapore under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unfair contract terms, hidden charges and misleading cancellation policies. Understanding these rights ensures you can enforce them if Chalk refuses to honour your cancellation request.
Protection against automatic renewal and hidden charges
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act requires Chalk to clearly disclose their auto-renewal policy, billing frequency and cancellation terms before you make your first payment. If Chalk charges you after you cancel within the required notice period, you have legal grounds to request a refund. Furthermore, if their auto-renewal terms are unclear or buried in fine print, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), the statutory body that enforces consumer protection in Singapore. Yafee recommends keeping all email confirmations of your cancellation request as legally significant proof.
Your right to transparency and fair refund terms
Chalk must publish clear, accessible terms about what is refundable and under what conditions. If their refund policy is misleading, contradicts what you were told at sign-up, or if they refuse a legitimate refund claim, you can escalate to CASE without paying any fee. You can contact CASE online at www.case.org.sg or by telephone at 6100 0820 if Chalk does not respond to your refund request within 14 days. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act backs your right to a fair resolution.
Your legal position on auto-renewal cancellations
Under Singapore law, you have the right to cancel your subscription at any time, provided you give the notice period specified in the contract-in Chalk's case, 15 days before your next billing date. If you notify Chalk within this window and they charge you anyway, you can demand a refund and report them to CASE for breach of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If Chalk refuses to process your cancellation or claims they never received your request, CASE can compel them to provide evidence that they did. Yafee advises you to use email for all cancellation requests so you have a timestamped record.
Understanding what you pay helps you assess whether cancellation is financially prudent and when to act to avoid unintended charges.

Cancellation requires you to act within 15 days of your next billing date. Chalk offers two primary methods, and Yafee recommends using the email method for legal proof of your request.
Step 1: locate your next billing date
Log into your Chalk account and navigate to your account settings or subscription dashboard. Find the date of your next automatic charge. Write this date down and count back 15 days-that is your cancellation deadline. If your next billing date is, for example, 25 January, you must initiate cancellation by 10 January. If you are unsure of your billing date, contact Chalk at [email protected] and ask them to confirm it in writing.
Step 2: cancel via the 'Cancel membership' link on the website (recommended first step)
- Log into your Chalk Performance Training account on their official website.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section.
- Look for the 'Cancel Membership' button or link.
- Click it and follow the on-screen prompts, which will likely ask why you are cancelling (optional) and confirm your intention.
- Complete the cancellation process and take a screenshot of the confirmation page or confirmation message.
This method is immediate and generates an automatic confirmation. Nevertheless, this confirmation alone may not be sufficient if Chalk later disputes the cancellation, so proceed to the next step to create a paper trail.
Step 3: send a written cancellation email for legal documentation
Even if you have cancelled online, send a formal email to [email protected] with the following information to create an irrefutable record:
- Your full name and account email address
- Your membership plan type (Monthly, Annual or Lifetime)
- Your next billing date
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Chalk Performance Training membership, effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing and confirm my refund status within 7 days."
- The date of your email (which serves as your notice date)
Keep this email in your sent folder and save any reply from Chalk. This email becomes your primary evidence if a dispute arises and is admissible in any consumer complaint to CASE or Small Claims Tribunal.
Step 4: confirm cancellation and refund status within 7 days
Chalk should respond to your email within 7 days with a cancellation confirmation and clear statement of whether you are eligible for a refund. If they do not respond within 7 days, send a follow-up email referencing your original cancellation request and ask them to acknowledge receipt. If they still do not respond within a further 7 days (14 days total), you have grounds to lodge a complaint with CASE, as silence after a cancellation request may breach the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Step 5: monitor your bank or payment account for unauthorised charges
After cancellation, monitor your payment method (credit card, debit card or online banking) for the next 30 days to ensure Chalk does not charge you again. If a charge appears after you cancelled within the notice period, contact your bank immediately and dispute it. Simultaneously, send a formal complaint email to Chalk with your bank's dispute reference number and demand an immediate refund with evidence of the erroneous charge.
What to do if Chalk refuses to cancel or charges you after cancellation
If Chalk ignores your cancellation request, claims they never received it or charges you after cancellation, escalation is straightforward and no-cost to you.
Step 1: send a formal dispute letter
Email Chalk a formally worded letter (or post it by registered mail if email has failed) stating:
- The date you requested cancellation
- The method you used (email address, website, date sent)
- Any charges you incurred after cancellation
- Your demand for an immediate refund
- A deadline: "Please respond and process a refund within 14 days. If you do not, I will lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore."
Keep a copy of this letter and evidence that it was delivered (read receipt from email, or proof of registered mail).
Step 2: escalate to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Chalk does not refund you or respond within 14 days, file a complaint with CASE online at www.case.org.sg or call 6100 0820. CASE will investigate at no cost to you and can compel Chalk to provide evidence of your cancellation request and justification for any charges. In most cases, CASE resolves disputes within 8 weeks. Yafee has observed that mentioning CASE's involvement in your dispute letter often prompts immediate refunds, as businesses fear regulatory action.
Step 3: small claims tribunal as a final option
If CASE's mediation fails or the amount justifies litigation, you can file a claim with Singapore's Small Claims Tribunal for refunds up to S$10,000 without needing a lawyer. The tribunal process is designed for consumers and is free or low-cost. Bring all documentation: emails, cancellation confirmations, bank statements showing erroneous charges, and your correspondence with Chalk and CASE.
Understanding chalk's refund policy and your rights
Chalk advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee on monthly memberships, but this applies only to new subscribers within 30 days of initial purchase, not to mid-term cancellations.
Refunds for cancellations within the notice period
If you cancel within Chalk's required 15-day notice period and your billing date has not yet arrived, you should not be charged for the next period and no refund is necessary-you are simply stopping a future charge. However, if Chalk has already deducted the next period's fee, you have grounds to demand a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act because they charged you after receiving clear notice of cancellation. Yafee advises you to clarify this with Chalk in writing: ask whether your cancellation prevents the next charge or whether you will receive a refund instead.
Refunds for non-renewal cancellations
If your cancellation is accepted and no further charge is made, no refund is due for the current period you have already paid for-you retain access until your paid period ends. For example, if you paid S$40.50 on 25 December for a January monthly membership and cancel on 10 January, you keep access until 25 January, and no additional charge occurs. This is fair and legal.
Refunds if Chalk fails to honour your cancellation
If Chalk charges you after you cancelled within the notice period, you are entitled to a full refund of that erroneous charge. If you cancel on 10 January (within the 15-day window before your 25 January billing date) and Chalk charges you on 25 January anyway, demand a refund of the full S$40.50 (or your plan's cost). This is not discretionary-it is a breach of contract and the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or cost you money
Cancellation need not be stressful if you avoid these avoidable pitfalls that trap many consumers.
Mistake 1: assuming online cancellation alone creates legal proof
Many consumers click "Cancel Membership" on the website and assume the process is complete. However, website systems can malfunction, confirmations can be lost in email spam, and Chalk can later claim they never received your request. Email provides a timestamped record that courts and CASE recognise. Always follow up your online cancellation with a formal email to [email protected] restating your intent. This dual method is the gold standard for consumer protection.
Mistake 2: cancelling too late and missing the 15-day deadline
If your next billing date is 25 January and you cancel on 11 January, you have missed the 15-day window (which ends on 10 January). Chalk will charge you, and you will have to dispute the charge and demand a refund rather than prevent it altogether. Mark your billing date in a calendar app with a reminder 20 days before the date so you never misjudge the deadline.
Mistake 3: deleting confirmation emails before the refund is processed
If a dispute arises, your cancellation email and Chalk's confirmation are your only proof. Keep these emails in a dedicated folder for at least 6 months after cancellation. If Chalk disputes your claim or you file a complaint with CASE, you will need to produce these documents.
Mistake 4: using an outdated or secondary email address
If you send your cancellation email to a generic customer service address that bounces or to an email you no longer monitor, you may never receive Chalk's confirmation and will not notice if they ignore your request. Use the primary email address registered on your [email protected] monitor it closely for 14 days after sending your cancellation request.
Mistake 5: assuming a refund is automatic
Refunds do not appear instantly. After cancellation, allow 5 to 10 business days for the refund to be processed, and a further 3 to 5 business days for your bank to credit it back to your account. If you do not see the refund within 14 days, follow up with Chalk in writing and ask for a refund reference number and expected date of credit.
After cancellation: what happens to your account and access
Cancellation does not end instantly-you retain access until your current billing period expires, and your data is yours to keep.
Immediate access after cancellation
Your cancellation request stops automatic renewal but does not immediately terminate your access. You continue to use Chalk until the end of your currently paid period. For example, if your membership renews on 25 January and you cancel on 10 January, you have access until 24 January at 11:59 PM, and no charge is deducted on 25 January. Use these final days to download any workout history, nutrition logs or progress data you wish to keep.
Retrieving your data before access ends
Log into your Chalk account while access is active and download or screenshot your workout history, personal records, progress graphs and any custom nutrition plans. Chalk is not obligated to provide this data after your membership expires, so collect it while you can.
Account deletion and data retention
After your membership expires, Chalk may retain your account and personal data for a period (usually 12 months) unless you request deletion. If you wish to delete your account entirely, email [email protected] after cancellation and request "complete account deletion and removal of all personal data." This ensures your name, email, payment history and fitness data are permanently removed from their systems, which is your right under Singapore's Privacy Act.
