How to cancel your Goodlife Fitness membership in singapore: step-by-step guide
About Goodlife Fitness and why you might want to cancel
Goodlife Fitness operates a subscription-based gym network across Singapore where you pay recurring fees for facility access, group classes, and personal training services. You can sign up through the mobile app stores (Apple App Store or Google Play) or directly with your local club via web, email, or in person. The membership structure varies depending on your sign-up method and membership tier.
Cancelling your membership should be straightforward, but Goodlife Fitness routes cancellations differently depending on where you originally purchased. Many members discover too late that deleting the app does not stop charges, or that their contract terms lock them in longer than expected. Yafee has documented thousands of similar situations, and this guide walks you through the exact steps to cancel without delay or unnecessary fees.
When to consider cancelling your membership
You might want to cancel if you no longer use the facilities, prefer a different gym, face unexpected costs, or want to reassess your fitness routine. Life circumstances change. Your budget might shift. Your gym schedule might no longer align with your membership location. All of these are valid reasons to end your subscription.
The key is acting before your next billing date. Goodlife Fitness operates a 30-day notice period after valid cancellation, which means you have a small window to halt future charges. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation request immediately, as proof of communication is your strongest protection if disputes arise later.
Membership types and billing structures at Goodlife Fitness
Goodlife Fitness offers monthly and contract-based memberships, some with auto-renewal enabled. If you purchased through an app store, the store handles billing independently, and Goodlife Fitness cannot stop those charges directly. If you signed up at your club or via the web, you must submit cancellation directly to Member Support.
Contract-based memberships may include lock-in periods or early termination fees. Personal training packages sometimes carry cooling-off rights in Singapore (typically 3 to 7 days, depending on the contract). Always request a copy of your original contract to check these terms before you cancel.
Understanding your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unfair contract terms and misleading billing practices. Distance contracts (those concluded online or by phone) typically grant you a 7-day cooling-off period, though gym memberships are sometimes excluded depending on how the contract was structured.
What the law covers
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act requires companies to act fairly, disclose key terms upfront, and not use deceptive practices. If Goodlife Fitness charged you without clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms, or if you were not given a copy of your contract at the point of sale, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Auto-renewal clauses must be prominently disclosed before you agree to them. If you cannot prove you saw and agreed to auto-renewal, Goodlife Fitness may be obligated to refund unauthorised charges. Yafee advises you to keep screenshots of any sign-up pages, confirmation emails, and billing statements as evidence.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to receive a written contract, clear billing terms, and transparent notice of any cooling-off period. If Goodlife Fitness fails to provide these, or if auto-renewal was not clearly disclosed, you can request a full refund of charges incurred after the cooling-off period expired. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) will support your claim at no cost to you.
Cancellation methods for Goodlife Fitness members
Your cancellation route depends on how you signed up and where your billing originates. Yafee has identified three primary methods: app store cancellation, direct club cancellation, and online portal cancellation. Each requires different steps and timelines.
Cancellation via app store (Apple or google play)
If you enrolled through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the app store manages your billing, not Goodlife Fitness directly. You must cancel your subscription through the app store's subscription settings, not through the Goodlife Fitness app itself. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
- Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your mobile device.
- Navigate to your account or subscription settings (usually found under "Manage My Account" or "Subscriptions").
- Locate the Goodlife Fitness membership subscription.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Unsubscribe".
- Confirm cancellation by selecting "Yes, Cancel" when prompted.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- Keep this screenshot as proof for your records and for potential dispute resolution.
Cancellation via Goodlife Fitness member support (direct club or web signup)
If you signed up directly at your local Goodlife Fitness club or through their website, you must contact Goodlife Fitness Member Support. Cancellations submitted via email, phone, or in-person visit are all valid, but email provides a written record.
- Locate your Goodlife Fitness club's contact details or Member Support email address from your confirmation email or contract.
- Compose a written cancellation request that includes:
- Your full name and membership number
- Your registered email address and phone number
- The effective date you wish the cancellation to take effect (this should be at least 30 days from today, in line with Goodlife Fitness's notice period)
- A clear statement: "I wish to cancel my Goodlife Fitness membership effective [date]."
- Send this request via email to Member Support, or visit your local club in person with this information prepared.
- If submitting in person, ask the staff member to provide a written acknowledgement or receipt of your cancellation request.
- If submitting by email, request a reply confirming receipt of your cancellation request.
- Retain all documentation: your cancellation email, the confirmation reply, and any in-person receipts.
Cancellation via online account portal
Some Goodlife Fitness members can cancel through the Goodlife Fitness online member portal or app. This method is fastest and provides immediate written confirmation.
- Log in to your Goodlife Fitness member account on the official website or app.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Membership Management".
- Select "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription".
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation request.
- Save or screenshot the confirmation page showing your cancellation date and reference number.
- Email yourself a copy or print this confirmation for your records.
Step-by-step cancellation process for Goodlife Fitness
This section consolidates the complete cancellation workflow into a single, actionable checklist to ensure you cancel without delays or missed deadlines.
Step 1: verify your membership details and contract terms
Before you cancel, gather your original contract, sign-up confirmation email, and most recent billing statement. Check whether your membership includes a lock-in period, early termination fee, or cooling-off period. If you signed up fewer than 7 days ago, you may fall within a cooling-off window and could be eligible for a full refund without penalty.
Step 2: calculate your cancellation notice deadline
Goodlife Fitness requires 30 days' written notice before cancellation takes effect. If today is 15 December, your cancellation would take effect on 14 January. Count forward 30 days from today and mark this date as your cancellation notice deadline. Submit your cancellation request at least 30 days before the date you want to stop being charged.
Step 3: draft your cancellation request
Use the template below, personalised with your details:
Dear Goodlife Fitness Member Support,
I wish to cancel my membership effective [date 30 days from today]. My membership details are:
Name: [Your Full Name]
Membership Number: [From your contract or billing statement]
Registered Email: [Your email address]
Phone: [Your contact number]
Please confirm receipt of this cancellation request and provide the cancellation reference number.
Yours sincerely,
[Your signature or typed name]
Step 4: submit your cancellation request
Choose one of the three methods outlined above (app store, Member Support email, or online portal). Submit your request immediately. Do not delay, as you must allow 30 days for processing. If you submit on 15 December, your cancellation takes effect on 14 January, and your final charge occurs on that date.
Step 5: retain confirmation and monitor billing
After submission, monitor your bank statements or app store billing account. Your final charge should appear on your cancellation date (30 days from submission). If you receive a charge after that date, contact Goodlife Fitness immediately with your cancellation confirmation number. Yafee advises saving all confirmation messages for at least six months.
Refunds and final charges explained
Goodlife Fitness does not refund membership fees for the period you have already been charged, unless you cancel within the cooling-off period or the company breached contract terms. However, you are entitled to stop future charges once your cancellation takes effect.
Cooling-off refunds
If you signed up fewer than 7 days ago and did not explicitly waive your cooling-off right, you can claim a full refund. Submit a written request stating you are exercising your cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, and Goodlife Fitness must refund your payment within 14 days.
Early termination fees
If your contract includes an early termination fee and you cancel before the lock-in period ends, Goodlife Fitness may charge this fee. The fee must be explicitly stated in your contract and must be reasonable (not a penalty disguised as a fee). If the fee appears unfair, contact CASE for guidance on whether it breaches the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Pro-rata refunds
If you pay for a month but cancel mid-month, Goodlife Fitness is not obligated to refund the unused portion unless your contract explicitly allows this. However, check your contract; some memberships do offer pro-rata refunds upon cancellation.

What happens after your cancellation takes effect
Once your cancellation date passes, Goodlife Fitness will cease billing you and your membership access will end. However, you may be able to retain certain benefits or reactivate later.
Access and facility closure
Your membership card, fob, or app access will deactivate on your cancellation date. You will no longer be able to access the gym facilities, book classes, or use personal training services. If you have paid upfront for future classes or sessions, contact Member Support to discuss refunds or transfers before your cancellation takes effect.
Reactivation and frozen memberships
If you want to pause rather than fully cancel, Goodlife Fitness may offer a membership freeze for a set period (typically 1-3 months). This suspension stops billing but preserves your membership. Contact Member Support before submitting a cancellation request if you think a freeze might be preferable.
Dispute resolution after cancellation
If Goodlife Fitness continues to charge you after your cancellation date, contact Member Support immediately with your cancellation confirmation number. If they refuse to stop charges, file a complaint with CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) or the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) if the contract was concluded online. Yafee has supported many members in recovering unauthorised post-cancellation charges through CASE mediation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct steps, but small oversights can delay your request or result in unwanted charges. Learn from the mistakes thousands of members have made and protect yourself from unnecessary fees.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
This is the most common error. Deleting the Goodlife Fitness app from your phone does not cancel your membership or stop billing. If you signed up through an app store, you must cancel through the app store's subscription settings, not the app itself. Reinstall the app if necessary to verify your cancellation status in your app store account.
Failing to meet the 30-day notice period
Goodlife Fitness requires 30 days' written notice. If you submit a cancellation request with fewer than 30 days' notice, your cancellation will not take effect for 30 days from the date you submit. You will be charged for the full 30-day notice period. Submit your request now, not later.
Not documenting your cancellation request
Verbal requests made in person or over the phone can be disputed later. Always submit cancellation requests via email or through the online portal so you have written proof. If you cancel in person at your club, ask staff to provide a dated receipt or email you a written confirmation immediately.
Ignoring early termination fees
If your contract includes a lock-in period, you may owe an early termination fee. Review your contract before cancelling to understand this fee. If you believe the fee is unreasonable or unfair, contact CASE before paying; the Consumers Association may waive or reduce it if it breaches consumer protection standards.
Cancelling before confirming a refund eligibility
If you are within the 7-day cooling-off period, you have a right to a full refund. Do not cancel your subscription first; submit a written cooling-off request instead, citing the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. This protects your refund claim.

Escalation and dispute resolution
If Goodlife Fitness refuses your cancellation request or disputes your refund claim, you have legal remedies under Singapore's consumer protection framework.
Contact the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
CASE is Singapore's primary consumer complaints body. If Goodlife Fitness refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request, file a complaint with CASE online or by visiting their office. CASE offers free mediation and has recovered thousands of SGD in refunds for fitness members. Provide CASE with your cancellation request email, Goodlife Fitness's response (or lack thereof), and your billing statements as evidence.
File a complaint with the infocomm media development authority (IMDA)
If your contract was concluded online (via the Goodlife Fitness website or app store), you can escalate to IMDA if Goodlife Fitness fails to comply with your cancellation request or disputes your cooling-off refund claim. IMDA regulates online commerce and can compel companies to honour consumer rights.
Chargeback and payment reversal
If Goodlife Fitness continues to charge you after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback or dispute for unauthorised transactions. Provide your cancellation confirmation number and the dates of unauthorised charges. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charges within 30-60 days.
