How to cancel Glasgow Club membership and online subscriptions in singapore
Understanding Glasgow Club and why you might cancel
Glasgow Club operates a network of leisure centres across Singapore, offering gym memberships, swimming pools, fitness classes, and wellness services through multiple venues. You can join through a Direct Debit venue membership, subscribe to their online-only digital class platform, or use pay-as-you-go bookings for individual sessions.
Whether you've relocated, joined a more convenient fitness facility, or discovered the online classes no longer suit your schedule, cancelling Glasgow Club should be straightforward. At Yafee, we help you understand every step of the cancellation process so you exit your membership without surprises or hidden charges.
When cancellation makes sense
You might consider cancelling if fitness priorities have shifted, you've found a gym closer to your home, or the monthly fees no longer justify your usage. Some members also cancel the online subscription after completing a fitness goal or realising they prefer in-person workouts to streaming classes.
What you're cancelling
Glasgow Club offers three distinct payment methods, each with different cancellation rules. You may hold a venue membership paid by Direct Debit (automatic monthly payments), an online subscription for digital classes, or prepaid pay-as-you-go bookings. Understanding which service you're cancelling is your first critical step.
Your consumer rights in singapore when cancelling Glasgow Club
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when cancelling subscriptions and membership services, regardless of Glasgow Club's internal policies.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act covers
Under Singapore law, suppliers must display pricing clearly and cannot charge hidden fees. If Glasgow Club fails to disclose cancellation terms before you pay, or misleads you about refund eligibility, you have grounds to escalate your complaint. The Act requires that unfair contract terms-such as automatically renewing memberships without clear, unambiguous consent-can be challenged and may be unenforceable.
You have the right to cancel merchandise purchases within 14 calendar days of receiving products, regardless of Glasgow Club's stated policy. This applies to their online retail offerings. The law also requires that any promotional claims (such as "unlimited classes" or "no hidden fees") must be accurate and substantiated by the company.
Your legal position
If Glasgow Club charged you without obtaining informed, written consent to automatic renewal, you can request a refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If the company refuses to process your cancellation or denies a refund you believe you're entitled to, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for free mediation. CASE can intervene if Glasgow Club has breached consumer law or engaged in unfair trading practices. Document all communications with the company before escalating.
How to cancel your Glasgow Club venue membership
Venue memberships at Glasgow Club are paid monthly via Direct Debit, typically charged on the 7th of each month, and terminating this service requires specific action with your bank.
Step 1: identify your direct debit arrangement
Log into your bank account online or check your recent statements to confirm the Direct Debit payments to Glasgow Club. Note the exact name used on the Direct Debit instruction and the payment amount. This information will help your bank process the cancellation without delay.
Step 2: contact your bank to cancel the direct debit
You cannot cancel your Glasgow Club venue membership through the gym itself-your bank controls the Direct Debit instruction. Contact your bank via phone, online banking app, or in person and request immediate cancellation of the Direct Debit to Glasgow Club. You have the right to cancel a Direct Debit at any time, with no notice period required.
- Provide your bank with the Glasgow Club Direct Debit details (merchant name, payment amount, and frequency)
- Request a written cancellation confirmation email or in-app notification
- Ask your bank when the cancellation takes effect-most banks process this within one working day
Step 3: notify Glasgow Club of your cancellation
While your bank cancels the Direct Debit, send a separate notification to Glasgow Club confirming your membership cancellation. This creates a paper trail and prevents the gym from claiming non-payment. Use the contact details in the address section below.
- Email Glasgow Club at their membership support address (or phone their main office)
- State your membership number and full name
- Specify the cancellation effective date (usually the first day of the next month)
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation
- Keep copies of all correspondence
Step 4: verify the cancellation took effect
Check your bank statement after the expected cancellation date to confirm no further payments to Glasgow Club have been processed. If a payment appears after your cancellation request, contact your bank immediately-you may be entitled to a chargeback under consumer protection rules.
How to cancel your Glasgow Club online subscription
The online digital class platform operates separately from venue memberships and requires its own cancellation process.
Step 1: log into your online account
Access the Glasgow Club online platform using your email and password. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management area-this is usually found under "My Account," "Billing," or "Subscription."
Step 2: locate your subscription settings
Find the active subscription plan you wish to cancel. The platform will display your payment method, renewal date, and current plan level. Note the renewal date, as cancellation timing may affect your refund eligibility.
Step 3: select the cancellation option
Click "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership." The platform may ask you why you're cancelling-this is optional feedback. Do not close the browser tab until you receive an on-screen confirmation message.
Step 4: confirm your email receipt
Glasgow Club should send you a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours. This email will confirm the cancellation date, final billing date, and any refund details. If you don't receive this email within one working day, contact support immediately using the contact details below.
Step 5: verify cancellation and access
After the cancellation date, attempt to log into the online platform and access a class. You should receive a message indicating your subscription is inactive. If you still have access after the stated cancellation date, contact Glasgow Club to request manual deactivation.
Pay-as-you-go bookings and session cancellation
Pay-as-you-go bookings do not require formal membership cancellation, but understanding your rights to cancel individual sessions protects your money.
Cancelling individual sessions you've prepaid
If you've purchased prepaid sessions or class credits, you may cancel unused sessions by contacting Glasgow Club directly. The gym's refund policy for prepaid credits varies-check your terms. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to fair contract terms, and unreasonable non-refund policies for unused services may be challengeable if they weren't clearly disclosed at purchase.
- Contact Glasgow Club at the address below with your booking reference
- Identify the sessions you wish to cancel
- Request a refund or credit transfer to your account
- Obtain written confirmation of the refund process and expected timeline
Understanding Glasgow Club pricing and refund eligibility

When you're entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel an annual online subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You are not entitled to a refund for monthly memberships once the month has begun, unless Glasgow Club breached the contract or misrepresented the service.
If Glasgow Club charged you without your explicit, informed consent to auto-renewal, you can demand a full refund for all unauthorised charges. If the company fails to honour this, escalate to CASE.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is final, but understanding the practical steps afterward ensures no surprises.
Your gym access after cancellation
Once your Direct Debit is cancelled, you lose access to all Glasgow Club venues effective the cancellation date. If you cancel mid-month, you typically lose access immediately-the gym will not prorate fees. If you cancel your online subscription, your access to digital classes ends on the renewal date (or immediately, depending on the platform's terms).
Retained data and membership history
Glasgow Club may retain your account data for legal and administrative purposes. If you wish your personal data to be deleted, contact the gym directly and reference the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The gym must comply with deletion requests within 30 days unless there is a legal reason to retain the data.
Rejoining later
You can rejoin Glasgow Club at any time. However, the gym may require a new membership application and may not credit previous unused sessions or memberships. Contact them to confirm rejoining terms before cancelling if you plan to return.
Common mistakes when cancelling Glasgow Club
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow these steps, but several common errors can delay the process or cost you money unnecessarily.
Mistake 1: cancelling through Glasgow Club before cancelling the direct debit
Many members contact Glasgow Club to cancel, expecting the gym to stop the Direct Debit. This does not happen. The Direct Debit will continue until you cancel it with your bank. Always cancel the Direct Debit first, then notify Glasgow Club in writing.
Mistake 2: not requesting written confirmation
Phone calls and verbal cancellations leave no evidence. Always request email confirmation of your cancellation. If a dispute arises, Yafee recommends you provide CASE with written proof of your cancellation request and the gym's response.
Mistake 3: assuming a refund for the current month
Gym memberships are usually non-refundable for the month in which you cancel. If you cancel on the 20th of the month after your Direct Debit charged on the 7th, you've already paid for that month and will not receive a refund. Plan your cancellation date accordingly if a refund is important to you.
Mistake 4: ignoring unexpected charges after cancellation
If Glasgow Club charges you after your cancellation, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback. Do not assume it is a mistake and wait. Time limits apply to chargeback claims-act within 60 days of the unwanted charge.

Why choose to stay with Glasgow Club
Glasgow Club offers value if you use multiple venues and prefer in-person fitness classes. The online subscription is affordable for members who want flexible access without leaving home. Yafee notes that many members stay because the gym's class variety and location network are difficult to replicate at competitor prices.
Why members cancel
Members most often cancel because of relocation, changing fitness goals, or discovering competitor gyms with better class schedules. The Direct Debit structure, while standard in the industry, creates friction for members who prefer not to be charged automatically. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel gym memberships quickly and ensure no unauthorised charges continue after departure.

How to escalate if Glasgow Club refuses to cancel
If Glasgow Club disputes your cancellation or refuses to acknowledge your request, escalation to CASE ensures your rights are protected under Singapore law.
Step 1: document all communication
Collect every email, phone call log, and written message you've sent to Glasgow Club requesting cancellation. Include dates, times, and the names of any staff members you spoke to. This evidence is essential for CASE mediation.
Step 2: send a formal cancellation letter
Send a registered letter to Glasgow Club's office address (provided below) confirming your cancellation request. State that you have cancelled the Direct Debit and request written confirmation within 7 days. Keep the postal receipt as proof of delivery.
Step 3: file a complaint with CASE
If Glasgow Club does not respond or refuses to cancel, file a free complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore. You can do this online at CASE's website or by phone. Provide CASE with all documentation of your cancellation attempts. CASE will contact Glasgow Club and mediate the dispute.
Step 4: request a chargeback if charges continue
If unwanted charges appear on your bank statement after your cancellation date, contact your bank and request a chargeback. You must file the chargeback within 60 days of the unwanted charge. Provide your bank with your cancellation evidence.
Use these verified contact details to initiate your cancellation. Yafee recommends sending all requests in writing (email or registered letter) to create a permanent record.
