How to cancel The Coach App subscription in singapore and reclaim your fitness budget
Understanding The Coach App and why you need a proper cancellation plan
The Coach App is a subscription-based fitness platform that delivers personalised workout regimens, nutrition guidance, and progress tracking to your mobile device. It connects you with structured coaching content designed to improve your fitness, stamina, and overall wellbeing. The service operates across iOS, Android, and web-based platforms, which means your cancellation method depends entirely on how you originally subscribed.
Deleting the app from your phone will not stop your charges. This is the critical mistake thousands of Singapore subscribers make every month. Your subscription remains active, and your payment method continues to be charged until you formally cancel through the platform where you signed up. At Yafee, we help consumers navigate these subscription cancellations with precision and transparency, ensuring you regain control of your billing without unnecessary delays or hidden fees.
Where and how you can access The Coach App
You may have subscribed through one of three channels: Apple App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or directly through The Coach's official website. Each channel operates independent payment and subscription systems. Consequently, cancelling through the wrong channel leaves your subscription active and vulnerable to continued charges. Understanding which channel you used is the first step toward a successful cancellation.
Why singapore fitness subscribers cancel their subscriptions
Life circumstances change. You may have discovered that the workout style doesn't align with your schedule, found a local gym that better suits your needs, or reassessed your fitness budget. Your reason is valid. Yafee believes you deserve a transparent, straightforward cancellation process without hidden barriers or confusing terms.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's consumer protection framework grants you explicit rights when cancelling distance contracts, including digital subscriptions.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act protections for The Coach App
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), you have the right to cancel a distance contract (such as a digital subscription purchased remotely) within 14 days of the initial purchase, provided you notify the supplier in writing. This applies to subscriptions purchased directly from The Coach's official website.
The supplier must process your refund within 30 days of your cancellation notice. In accordance with the CPFTA, the refund covers the full subscription fee unless you have consumed a substantial portion of the service. If The Coach refuses to honour your refund request within this window, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for mediation and enforcement.
Your legal position: You are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of purchase for direct website subscriptions. App Store subscriptions follow different timelines (see below). Keep written proof of your cancellation request; CASE will require this evidence if you need to lodge a formal complaint.
Apple App store refund rights for iOS subscribers
If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Apple's refund policy supersedes The Coach's terms. Apple allows you to request refunds up to 60 days after purchase for accidental charges or if you did not receive the service as described. Apple processes these refunds independently and typically returns funds to your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days.
To claim an Apple refund, you must initiate the request through Apple directly, not through The Coach. Apple's system is separate; The Coach cannot process refunds for App Store transactions. Furthermore, once you have cancelled your subscription, Apple will not charge you again for future renewal periods.
Google play refund rights for android subscribers
Google Play offers parallel protections. You can request refunds within 48 hours of purchase for subscriptions. After 48 hours, cancellation stops future charges but does not trigger a refund for the current billing period. Like Apple, Google processes refunds independently and handles all communication with your payment provider.
Step-by-step cancellation methods for The Coach App
You have three distinct cancellation paths. Select the method that matches your subscription channel for the fastest resolution.
Cancellation via apple App store (iOS)
If you subscribed through an iPhone or iPad, follow this process to cancel your subscription and stop future charges immediately.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Locate the grey gear icon on your home screen.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top of the Settings menu.
- You will see your name, phone number, and registered email address.

- This displays all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID account.
- Find and tap The Coach App from the subscription list.
- You will see your current billing plan and the next renewal date.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renewal.
- Apple will ask you to confirm cancellation. Select "Confirm" when prompted.
- Verify that the subscription status changes to "Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]".
- Your access ends on that expiration date. No further charges will occur.
If you wish to request a refund for the current billing period, after cancelling the subscription, select "Report a Problem" on the same screen and explain why you wish to request a refund. Apple will review your request within 24 to 48 hours.
Cancellation via google play (Android)
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, use this method to cancel and prevent future charges.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the account icon (your profile picture) in the top right corner.
- Select Manage your subscriptions or Subscriptions.
- This shows all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
- Tap The Coach App from the subscription list.
- You will see the billing date, plan details, and renewal information.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google will ask you to confirm and may ask why you are cancelling.
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Cancel" in the final prompt.
- Your subscription status will change to "Cancelled", and the app will note your final access date.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play.
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation for your records.
If you wish to request a refund within 48 hours of the initial purchase or a recent renewal, tap "Report a Problem" on The Coach App subscription page, select your reason, and submit your refund request. Google will respond within 5 to 7 business days.
Cancellation via The coach's official website
If you subscribed directly through The Coach App's website (not through an app store), you must cancel through your account dashboard.
- Visit The Coach App official website and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to your account settings or "Subscriptions" section.
- Locate your active subscription in your account dashboard.
- You will see your plan type, billing date, and renewal date.
- Click Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.
- The website will display cancellation options and any applicable terms.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- The Coach may ask you to provide feedback on why you are cancelling.
- Verify that you receive a confirmation email from The Coach.
- This email serves as your written cancellation notice under the CPFTA.
- Save this email indefinitely.
- If no refund is automatically processed, reply to the confirmation email within 14 days requesting a refund under CPFTA rights.
- The Coach must respond within 30 days with either the refund or a clear explanation of why it cannot be provided.
In accordance with the CPFTA, The Coach must honour your cancellation request immediately and process any applicable refunds within 30 days. If they do not respond or refuse to refund, Yafee recommends escalating your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for formal mediation.
What happens after you cancel The Coach App
Cancellation is not instantaneous in all cases, and understanding the timeline helps you verify that charges have truly stopped.
Immediate changes to your access
Upon cancellation confirmation, your account status changes to "Cancelled". If you cancel before your current billing period ends, you retain access to The Coach App content until that date expires. For example, if your subscription renews on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you have access until the 15th at 11:59 PM. After that moment, the app will block your login and request that you resubscribe.
Verification and billing confirmation
Within 24 to 48 hours of cancellation, log back into your account and confirm that the subscription status displays "Cancelled" or "Expires on [final date]". Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from The Coach, Apple, or Google (depending on your cancellation method).
Monitor your credit card or payment method for 1 to 2 billing cycles after cancellation. Verify that no further charges appear on your statement. If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Yafee advises keeping all cancellation emails and screenshots of your cancelled subscription status for at least 12 months.
Refund timeline and tracking
Refunds, when eligible, follow these timelines:
- Direct website subscription (CPFTA): Refund within 30 days of cancellation request.
- Apple App Store: Refund within 5 to 7 business days (if approved within 48 to 60 days of purchase).
- Google Play: Refund within 5 to 7 business days (if approved within 48 hours of purchase or renewal).
Refunds are credited to your original payment method. If you paid by credit card, the refund appears as a credit on your next statement. If you used a debit card, the refund posts within 3 to 5 additional business days. Contact your bank if a refund does not arrive within the stated timeframe; your bank can trace the transaction and escalate the issue to The Coach or the app store operator.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling The Coach App
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct process, but small errors can delay your refund or leave your subscription active. Here is what to avoid.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
This is the most frequent error. Deleting The Coach App from your phone does nothing to stop charges. Your subscription remains active in the background, tied to your Apple ID, Google account, or The Coach account. You must formally cancel through the subscription management system of the relevant platform. Deletion and cancellation are two completely separate actions.
Contacting customer support instead of using the cancellation system
Sending an email to The Coach customer support team does not constitute a formal cancellation notice under CPFTA. You must cancel through the official subscription management interface (Settings on iPhone, Google Play on Android, or your website account dashboard). If you email customer support, they may delay processing or claim they never received your request. Use the built-in cancellation system, take a screenshot of the confirmation, and keep the cancellation email. This creates an audit trail.
Missing the CPFTA 14-day refund window
The 14-day refund window for direct website subscriptions begins on the purchase date, not the cancellation date. If you subscribed on January 1st and attempt to cancel on January 20th, you have missed the refund window, though your cancellation will still take effect for future billing cycles. Consequently, act quickly if you wish to claim a CPFTA refund.
Mixing up cancellation channels
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, cancelling through The Coach's website does not work. Apple retains control of your subscription and billing. You must cancel within Apple Settings. Similarly, if you subscribed via Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play, not The Coach's website. Cancelling through the wrong channel leaves your subscription intact and charges continue.
Pricing overview and subscription tiers
Understanding The Coach App's cost structure helps you calculate your total investment and assess the value of cancellation.
| Subscription tier |

Monthly cost (SGD) |
Annual cost (SGD) |
| Basic Plan |

If you opted for an annual plan at SGD 299.99 and cancel after 2 months, your refund eligibility depends on your cancellation channel. Direct website subscriptions cancelled within 14 days of purchase qualify for a full refund. App Store and Google Play subscriptions follow their respective refund windows (48 hours for Google Play, 60 days for Apple). Yafee recommends reviewing your receipt to confirm your exact purchase date and subscription tier, as this information is required for any refund claim.
What to do if The Coach App refuses to cancel or refund
Most cancellations proceed without friction, but occasional disputes arise when a company resists your request.
Escalation to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If The Coach App fails to cancel your subscription, refuses to acknowledge your cancellation request, or denies your refund claim without valid cause, you have a formal recourse under Singapore law. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) provides mediation and dispute resolution for consumer complaints.
File a complaint with CASE if The Coach has not responded to your cancellation or refund request within 30 days. Provide CASE with copies of your cancellation confirmation, any emails to The Coach, and your credit card statements showing the disputed charges. CASE will contact The Coach on your behalf and attempt to reach a resolution. If mediation fails, CASE can escalate your matter to Singapore's Small Claims Tribunal, which can compel The Coach to issue a refund.
Chargebacks through your bank
If The Coach continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can request a chargeback from your bank or credit card issuer. A chargeback is a formal dispute process wherein your bank reverses the transaction and refunds you directly. Your bank will contact The Coach and request proof that the charges were authorised. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation and any correspondence showing that you terminated the subscription.
Chargebacks are powerful, but they should be your last resort after CASE mediation has been attempted or exhausted.
