How to cancel your Platinum Fitness membership in singapore and protect your rights
Why you might want to cancel your Platinum Fitness membership
Platinum Fitness operates 24/7 gyms across Singapore with state-of-the-art equipment, group classes, and personal training services. You choose from flexible weekly plans, 3, 6, or 12-month memberships billed fortnightly, or outlet-specific monthly packages depending on your location. The gym network includes facilities at Robertson Quay and other strategic locations throughout the island, offering unlimited access to members.
Life circumstances change. You may have relocated, joined another fitness facility, or reassessed your training goals. Whatever your reason, you have the right to cancel your membership on your terms under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. At Yafee, we empower consumers to understand their cancellation rights and navigate the process with confidence. Knowing the exact procedures, notice periods, and potential charges puts you in control before you submit your cancellation notice.
Understanding Platinum Fitness membership tiers
Platinum Fitness offers multiple membership options to suit different lifestyles. Weekly memberships provide maximum flexibility, while 3, 6, and 12-month contracts offer discounted rates for members committed to longer terms. Outlet-specific monthly packages cater to members who prefer access to a single gym location. Your membership type directly affects your cancellation rights and any early termination fees you may incur.
The cost of staying versus the cost of cancelling
Many members continue paying for memberships they no longer use because they are uncertain about the cancellation process or fear unexpected charges. Yafee recommends you calculate the true cost: your remaining contract balance versus any liquidated damages fee Platinum Fitness may impose. Understanding this calculation before you cancel ensures you make an informed financial decision.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes clear legal protections when you cancel a fitness membership contract.
Your legal position
You are protected by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which requires Platinum Fitness to act fairly, transparently, and in good faith when you exercise your cancellation rights. The company must disclose all material terms, including minimum contract periods, notice requirements, and any early termination fees. These protections are non-negotiable, and Platinum Fitness must honour them.
The 48-hour cooling-off period explained
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you a 48-hour cooling-off period from the moment you sign your Platinum Fitness membership agreement. During this window, you can terminate your membership and receive a full refund of all fees paid, except any setup charges or services already supplied (such as an induction session or personal training session already completed). This right applies to all membership types and is absolute. You do not need to provide a reason, and Platinum Fitness cannot impose any penalty during this period.
Notice periods and termination outside the cooling-off window
Once your 48-hour cooling-off period expires, Platinum Fitness requires you to provide written notice 30 days in advance of your intended cancellation date. This 30-day notice period applies uniformly across all membership types. You must submit your notice in writing: email to the registered office, completion of an online cancellation form, or submission of a written form in person at any gym location all constitute valid delivery methods. Yafee advises you to retain proof of submission (email confirmation, screenshot, or in-person receipt) in every case.
Early termination and liquidated damages fees
If you cancel a 12-month membership before its natural end date, Platinum Fitness applies a liquidated damages fee of SGD 200 (or the balance of your remaining payments, whichever is less). For 18-month memberships, the fee is SGD 250 (or remaining balance, whichever is less). These fees are contractually disclosed and represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss; they are not penalties. Nevertheless, you retain the right to negotiate or dispute these charges if you believe Platinum Fitness has not acted in good faith. Inspect your membership agreement carefully to confirm your exact liability before you initiate cancellation.
Methods to submit your cancellation request
Platinum Fitness provides three straightforward channels to cancel your membership, each equally valid under consumer law.
Email cancellation to the registered office
Send a written cancellation notice by email to the Platinum Fitness administrative address. Your email should include your full name, membership ID (found on your membership card or billing statement), and your desired cancellation date (which must be at least 30 days from the date of submission). Request email delivery confirmation so you have proof of receipt. Save this confirmation to your device or cloud storage immediately.
Online cancellation through the Platinum Fitness website
Navigate to the Platinum Fitness website and locate the contact or account management portal. Select "Cancellation Request" or "Membership Termination" from the inquiry type dropdown menu. Complete all required fields: your membership ID, full name, contact phone number, and intended cancellation date. Submit the form and screenshot the confirmation page immediately. Forward this screenshot to your email address as a backup record.
In-person cancellation at any gym location
Visit any Platinum Fitness gym during operating hours and ask to speak with a membership officer or front-desk manager. Request a cancellation form and complete it in full, providing your membership ID, full name, and desired cancellation date. The gym staff will stamp or date the form, and you will receive a copy. Retain this stamped copy as your proof of cancellation notice. If the location cannot process your request on the day, ask for the contact details of the membership department and follow up by email within 24 hours to confirm receipt.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
Follow this structured process to cancel your Platinum Fitness membership legally and create an auditable record of your cancellation.
- Review your membership agreement
- Locate your membership contract or terms and conditions (typically sent via email when you joined)
- Identify your membership type (weekly, 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, or outlet-specific monthly)
- Note the specific notice period required (standard is 30 days) and any early termination fees applicable
- Calculate your remaining contract balance and potential liquidated damages to understand your net cost
- Confirm you are outside the 48-hour cooling-off period
- Check the date you signed your membership agreement
- If fewer than 48 hours have passed, you can cancel immediately with full refund of fees (except services already supplied)
- If more than 48 hours have passed, proceed to step 3
- Determine your cancellation date
- Count 30 days forward from today's date: this is your earliest possible cancellation date
- Select a date on or after this date (for example, end of month if that suits your cash flow)
- Write this date clearly on all cancellation documents you prepare
- Prepare your cancellation notice
- Use one of the three methods outlined above: email, online form, or in-person
- Include your full name, membership ID, current phone number, and desired cancellation date
- State: "I hereby request cancellation of my Platinum Fitness membership effective [date], in accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act"
- For email: use a professional tone and request a read receipt
- Submit your cancellation notice
- Send the email or complete the online form during business hours (ideally 9 am to 5 pm Singapore time)
- If cancelling in person, ask the staff member to confirm receipt and stamp the form immediately
- Do not rely on verbal confirmation alone
- Obtain and retain proof of submission

- Store all proof in a dedicated folder on your device or in cloud storage
- Monitor your account and final billing
- Log into your Platinum Fitness account (if available) weekly to confirm cancellation status
- Check that no charges are applied after your cancellation date
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement on the billing date following your cancellation date
- Request refund if applicable
- If your cancellation date has passed and you were charged after that date, contact Platinum Fitness immediately by email with proof of your cancellation notice
- Request a refund within 14 days of the erroneous charge
- Keep copies of all correspondence
Refund policy and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding Platinum Fitness's refund obligations ensures you receive all money you are entitled to after your membership ends.
What refunds you are entitled to
If you cancel during the 48-hour cooling-off period, Platinum Fitness must refund 100 percent of all fees you have paid, except legitimate setup charges and any services already delivered. If you cancel after the 48-hour period using the 30-day notice process, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund of any prepaid membership fees beyond your cancellation date, minus any applicable liquidated damages fee. For example: if you paid SGD 600 for a 12-month membership and cancel after 6 months, you are entitled to SGD 300 (the 6-month prepayment balance) minus the liquidated damages fee of SGD 200, leaving a net refund of SGD 100.
Timeline for processing refunds
Platinum Fitness must process your refund within 14 calendar days of your cancellation date taking effect. The refund will be returned to the payment method you used to fund the membership (credit card, debit card, or bank transfer). Check your bank account or credit card statement 14 to 21 days after your cancellation date to verify receipt. If the refund has not appeared, contact Platinum Fitness with proof of your cancellation notice and request an updated refund status.
Handling delayed or missing refunds
If Platinum Fitness does not process your refund within 21 days, send a written demand by email to the registered office, copying your bank or credit card provider. State the refund amount, your cancellation date, and the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act as the legal basis for your claim. Allow 7 more days for a response. If Platinum Fitness does not respond or refuses to refund, escalate your complaint to the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates disputes on behalf of consumers. Yafee recommends you gather all documentation before escalation: your cancellation notice, proof of submission, original membership agreement, bank statements showing charges, and any email correspondence with the gym.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a gym membership is straightforward if you follow the correct process, but several pitfalls can create unnecessary delays or disputes.
Assuming verbal notice is sufficient
Telling a gym staff member face-to-face that you want to cancel does not create a legal cancellation notice under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Platinum Fitness may deny you ever spoke to anyone or claim the staff member forgot. Always submit a written cancellation notice (email, online form, or in-person form with a timestamp). This creates an auditable record that protects you if a dispute arises.
Not calculating the 30-day notice period correctly
The 30-day notice period runs from the date Platinum Fitness receives your cancellation notice, not from the date you send it. If you email on Monday, Platinum Fitness has up to 2 business days to acknowledge receipt. Your cancellation date must be at least 30 days from the date Platinum Fitness confirms receipt. To avoid delays, submit your notice early and request written confirmation of the receipt date.
Failing to retain proof of submission
If you cannot produce evidence that you submitted a cancellation notice, Platinum Fitness may claim they never received it and continue charging your card. Screenshot every online submission, save every email confirmation, and retain every stamped in-person form. Store these files in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud) so they survive device loss or damage.
Ignoring charges after your cancellation date
Some members assume that if they submitted a cancellation notice, they will not be charged again. Nevertheless, billing errors occur. Monitor your account weekly after you submit your cancellation and check your bank statement on the billing date following your cancellation date. If you spot a charge after your cancellation date has passed, contact Platinum Fitness within 7 days with proof of your cancellation notice. The sooner you report it, the faster they will reverse the charge.
Not accounting for pro-rata calculations
If you paid for a full month but cancel mid-month, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion (minus any applicable early termination fee). Do not accept a blanket refusal to refund any amount. Calculate your pro-rata entitlement and include this calculation in your refund demand email to Platinum Fitness if they do not process it automatically.
After your cancellation: what happens next
Once your cancellation is confirmed, follow these steps to protect yourself and ensure a clean exit.
Verify your account status online
If Platinum Fitness provides an online portal for members, log in 24 hours after your cancellation date and verify that your membership status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If the status still shows "Active", contact Platinum Fitness immediately by email with a screenshot of the issue and your cancellation notice. Request manual confirmation that your cancellation has been processed.
Confirm the final billing charge
Check your bank or credit card statement 3 to 5 days after your cancellation date to confirm that the final charge has been processed. If your cancellation date was mid-billing cycle, the final charge should be pro-rata (only for the days you used the gym up to your cancellation date). If you see a full-month charge after your cancellation date, report it immediately as a billing error.
Request your refund if not automatic
If 14 days have passed since your cancellation date and you have not received a refund, send a formal refund request email to Platinum Fitness with the following details: your membership ID, the cancellation date, the pro-rata refund amount you calculated, and a reference to the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Request confirmation of the refund method (credit card, bank transfer) and the expected processing date. Retain a copy of this email.
Escalate to CASE if necessary
If Platinum Fitness does not respond to your refund request within 7 days, or if they refuse to refund without legal justification, lodge a complaint with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates consumer disputes and can mediate between you and the company. Yafee recommends you compile a complete file before escalation: your cancellation notice, proof of submission, original membership agreement, cancellation confirmation (if provided), pro-rata refund calculation, bank statements showing charges, and copies of all emails exchanged with Platinum Fitness. CASE will review this evidence and issue a determination.

Each cancellation method has distinct advantages and risks; choose the one that creates the strongest proof of submission.

Yafee recommends email as the primary method because it creates an automatic written record and allows you to include full details in one message. If you cancel in person, always ask the staff member to stamp the form and provide you a copy immediately. If they refuse, ask for the membership department's direct email and send your cancellation notice by email that same day as confirmation.
Preventing disputes: what to document
Yafee advises all members to maintain a cancellation file that protects you if Platinum Fitness disputes your claim later.
Essential documents to retain
- Your original membership agreement or terms and conditions (email or physical copy)
- All cancellation communications: email confirmation, online form screenshot, or stamped in-person form
- Platinum Fitness's reply confirming receipt and cancellation date (if sent)
- Bank or credit card statements showing all charges from the date you joined through 30 days after your cancellation date
- Screenshots of your online account showing membership status transitions (active to cancelled)
- Copies of refund requests and any responses from Platinum Fitness
Where to store your file
Store all documents in at least two locations: a cloud service (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Apple iCloud) and a local backup folder on your device. Use a consistent file name convention (e.g., "Platinum_Fitness_Cancellation_2024") so you can find documents quickly if needed. Email a copy of your main cancellation notice to a personal email account you control as an additional backup. If Platinum Fitness disputes your cancellation or refuses to refund, you will be able to produce this evidence immediately.
When to escalate to the consumer association of singapore
If Platinum Fitness fails to honour your cancellation rights or refuses your refund claim, escalate your complaint to CASE, Singapore's independent consumer protection authority.
Triggers for escalation
- Platinum Fitness denies receipt of your cancellation notice despite your proof of submission
- The company continues charging your card after your cancellation date
- You submitted a refund request more than 7 days ago and Platinum Fitness has not responded
- Platinum Fitness refuses to refund your pro-rata balance or disputes the early termination fee without legal justification
- The company threatens legal action or collection activity after you have cancelled correctly
How to file a complaint with CASE
Visit the CASE website (case.org.sg) and complete the online complaint form. Include your membership ID, cancellation date, pro-rata refund amount claimed, and a brief explanation of the dispute. Attach scanned copies of your key documents: cancellation notice, proof of submission, membership agreement, and bank statements. CASE will forward your complaint to Platinum Fitness and allow the company 14 days to respond. If the company does not respond or if CASE determines that Platinum Fitness has violated the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, CASE will issue a determination that the company is required to follow or face regulatory action by the Consumers Association of Singapore Board.
If you need to send formal cancellation notice or correspondence by post or courier, use the following address:
Platinum Fitness
95 Grange Road
Singapore 239837
Send all formal notices by registered mail or courier with tracking. Allow 5 to 7 business days for postal delivery. Follow up by email to [email protected] with a copy of your postal receipt and the letter you mailed, requesting confirmation of receipt. This dual approach (post plus email) creates multiple proof points if a dispute arises later.
