How to cancel Lenus and protect your fitness data in singapore
Lenus is a digital health and wellness platform that connects you directly with qualified fitness coaches in Singapore. Unlike traditional gym memberships where you pay a single operator, Lenus functions as a marketplace: you select your coach, receive customised workout plans and nutrition guidance through the app, and pay your chosen coach directly. Stripe processes these payments on the coach's behalf, which means your cancellation journey involves both the Lenus app and your individual coach's billing arrangement.
When you download Lenus from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you create an account, browse available coaches, and select one whose programme aligns with your fitness goals. Your coach then delivers personalised training plans, progress tracking and dietary advice through the platform. Understanding how to cancel requires you to recognise this dual-layer structure: ending your Lenus account is separate from terminating your coaching relationship and stopping payments to your specific coach.
How the dual-payment structure works
Lenus operates as a technology platform rather than a direct service provider. You do not pay Lenus a subscription fee; instead, you pay individual coaches whose fees vary based on programme intensity, coach experience and service level. This decentralised model means no single pricing structure exists across the platform. Your coach sets their own rates in Singapore Dollars (SGD), collects payment directly and uses Lenus infrastructure to deliver your customised plans.
The platform's terms of service, which you accept upon download and use, outline your rights and obligations as a user. These terms define what happens to your data, your access rights and the process for account termination. When you decide to cancel, these terms become critical because they explain the consequences of ending your relationship with both Lenus and your coach.
The role of coaches and data handling
Coaches on Lenus are independent practitioners who set their own pricing, programme structure and cancellation policies. Your fitness data, progress records and dietary information are stored within the app and shared with your selected coach. Understanding Lenus's data retention and deletion practices is essential before you cancel, particularly if you have privacy concerns about how your health information is managed after you terminate your account.
Your legal rights as a Lenus user in singapore
Singapore's consumer protection framework establishes your rights and the obligations of digital service providers like Lenus. This section explains the legal foundation for your cancellation decision and the remedies available if a dispute arises.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act protections
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the primary legislation governing digital services in Singapore. Under this Act, Lenus must provide you with accurate information about services, pricing and cancellation terms before you commit to a purchase. The legislation prohibits unfair contract terms, misleading representations and unconscionable conduct. Consequently, if Lenus fails to disclose material terms or applies hidden fees, you have grounds to challenge the fairness of the contract and seek remedies.
The Act grants you the right to cancel certain contracts within a statutory period, though the exact timeline depends on the contract type and whether Lenus clearly disclosed its terms. Furthermore, Lenus must not impose penalties that are grossly disproportionate to any genuine loss the platform incurs from your early cancellation. If you discover that your coach or Lenus applied an unreasonable termination fee, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates disputes and facilitates resolution.
Your legal position on data and privacy
Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Lenus must handle your health and fitness data with care. You have the right to request access to your personal data, correct inaccuracies and, in certain circumstances, request deletion. Upon cancellation, Lenus must not retain your health information longer than necessary unless you have given explicit consent or the law requires retention. If Lenus refuses to delete your data after you cancel or continues to use your information for marketing, you can file a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).
Yafee recommends that you request confirmation from Lenus in writing that all your personal data will be deleted within a reasonable timeframe after your cancellation is complete. This protects you from unexpected marketing communications or data misuse after you have ended your relationship with the service.
Common reasons to cancel Lenus
Understanding why you might cancel helps you weigh whether cancellation is the right choice or whether an alternative-such as pausing your programme or negotiating new terms with your coach-better serves your needs.
When cancellation makes sense
You may decide to cancel if your coach's programme is not delivering results, your fitness goals have shifted or you have found a competing service that better matches your priorities. Financial constraints, changes in work schedule, relocation or a preference for in-person training over digital coaching are all legitimate reasons to step back. Some users cancel because they are uncomfortable with the app's data collection practices or believe their privacy concerns are not adequately addressed.
Lenus operates in a competitive digital health market, and your decision to cancel is yours alone. Yafee recognises that fitness priorities change, and ending a coaching relationship should not be complicated or fraught with penalties you did not anticipate.
Alternatives to full cancellation
Before you cancel, contact your coach directly to explore alternatives. Many coaches on Lenus are willing to reduce session frequency, adjust programme intensity, temporarily pause your plan or negotiate a lower rate. This flexibility can preserve your coaching relationship while easing financial or scheduling pressure. A simple conversation with your coach may resolve the underlying issue without requiring full cancellation.
If cost is the primary barrier and your coach is helping you progress, request a trial pause-typically 4 to 8 weeks-to see whether stepping back temporarily allows you to return with renewed commitment later. This approach is preferable to cancelling entirely if the coaching itself is valuable to you.
How to cancel Lenus step-by-step
Cancellation involves two distinct processes: terminating your Lenus account and ending your payment arrangement with your coach. Both must be completed to stop all charges and fully exit the platform.
Step 1: notify your coach of cancellation intent
- Contact your coach directly through the Lenus app messaging feature or email (depending on how your coach prefers to communicate). Your coach's contact details appear in your account profile or in the initial welcome message when you began your programme.
- Clearly state your intention to cancel your coaching arrangement.
- Provide a cancellation date-ideally 7 to 14 days from the date of your message to allow your coach processing time.
- Request written confirmation that your coach acknowledges your cancellation request.
Step 2: check your coach's specific cancellation policy
- Review the contract or terms you agreed to with your specific coach. This document outlines any notice period, final payment obligations or early-termination fees unique to your coaching arrangement.
- Identify whether your coach requires 7 days' notice, 14 days' notice or another timeframe.
- Confirm whether you owe any outstanding session fees or whether your final payment has been collected.
- Note any refund eligibility if you cancel mid-cycle (for example, if you paid monthly in advance).
Step 3: verify your payment method and stop future charges
- Log into your Lenus account on the mobile app or at lenusehealth.com.
- Navigate to your account settings or payment information section.
- Identify the payment method (card, bank account or other) that your coach uses to collect fees.
- Note the next scheduled payment date so you can confirm that no charge occurs after your cancellation date.
- Contact Stripe (the payment processor used by Lenus) or your bank to inform them of your cancellation and request that they block any future charges from your coach after your cancellation date takes effect.
- Your bank can flag or block charges from specific merchants, which adds a safeguard if your coach's payment processing continues by mistake.
- Keep a record of this communication for your own protection.
Step 4: remove or delete your Lenus account
- Return to the Lenus app or website. Look for an account settings, privacy or data management section.
- Search for an option labelled "Delete Account", "Close Account" or "Request Account Deletion".
- If no self-service deletion option exists, send an email to the Lenus support team (typically [email protected] or a contact address listed on the platform) requesting permanent account deletion.
- In your deletion request, include the following information:
- Your full name and email address associated with the account.
- Your user ID (found in your account settings).
- A statement that you wish to cancel your account effective immediately and request deletion of all personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act.
- Your preferred contact method for confirmation of deletion.
- Lenus should respond within 14 to 21 days with confirmation that your account has been deleted and your data removal process has begun.
- Save this confirmation email for your records.
- If you do not receive a response within 21 days, escalate your request to CASE or the PDPC.
Step 5: request written confirmation of cancellation
- Once your account has been deleted, send a follow-up email to both your coach and the Lenus support team confirming that your cancellation is complete.
- Request that both parties provide written confirmation that your account is closed and all future charges have ceased.
- Specify that you expect no further contact unless a refund is issued or an error has occurred.
- Monitor your bank statement for the next 2 to 3 billing cycles to ensure no unauthorised charges appear. If a charge occurs after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and initiate a dispute.
Refunds and financial settlement after cancellation
Determining whether you are entitled to a refund depends on your coach's specific cancellation policy, the timing of your request and whether you have prepaid for services not yet delivered.
When refunds apply
If you cancel mid-cycle-for example, if you paid for a 30-day programme on day 10-your coach may owe you a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. This entitlement exists even without explicit mention in the original contract, because Singapore consumer law prohibits unjust enrichment. Your coach should not retain fees for services you did not receive simply because you chose to cancel.
Conversely, if you cancel after your full prepaid period has elapsed or if your coaching arrangement was pay-as-you-go with no outstanding balance, no refund is due. The coach has already provided the services and collected payment for the full contract period.
How to request a refund
- In your cancellation message to your coach, clearly state whether you believe you are entitled to a refund and why.
- For example: "I am cancelling on 15 March 2025. I prepaid for the month of March (1-31 March) on 1 March 2025. I am requesting a pro-rata refund for 16-31 March, calculated as [number of days remaining] ÷ 31 days × [monthly fee]."
- Request that your coach process the refund within 7 to 10 days and provide a refund confirmation with the date, amount and method (bank transfer, card credit or other).
- If your coach refuses a refund that you believe is due under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, escalate your complaint to CASE (the Consumers Association of Singapore). CASE can mediate and, if necessary, recommend enforcement action.
Refund timeline and payment method
Your coach should process a refund within 14 days of your cancellation request. If the original payment was made by debit or credit card, the refund should appear within 3 to 5 business days after the coach initiates it. Bank transfer refunds typically take 2 to 3 business days. If you do not see a refund within 21 days, contact your bank to confirm whether the payment has been sent, then escalate to CASE if the coach cannot provide evidence of the refund.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling smoothly is entirely achievable if you avoid these frequent errors. The good news is that most mistakes are preventable with clear communication and documentation.
Mistake 1: deleting the app without formally cancelling your account
Removing the Lenus app from your phone does not cancel your account or stop payments. Your coach will continue to charge you each month because the cancellation has not been processed through official channels. Always complete the formal account deletion and payment cessation steps outlined above before uninstalling the app.
Mistake 2: assuming the coach will cancel automatically after inactivity
Coaches do not cancel inactive accounts automatically. If you stop using the app but never formally notify your coach, charges will continue indefinitely. Treat cancellation as an active process: contact your coach and the Lenus support team in writing, and obtain confirmation that both have processed your cancellation.
Mistake 3: cancelling only with Lenus and ignoring the coach's payment arrangement
Your Lenus account deletion is separate from stopping payments to your coach. If you delete your Lenus account but do not formally cancel your coaching arrangement, your coach may continue to charge you through Stripe. You must complete both cancellations: Lenus account deletion and coach payment cessation.
Mistake 4: failing to document refund entitlements
If you prepaid for services and cancel mid-cycle, write down the exact refund calculation you are owed (dates, fees, pro-rata adjustment). Without this documentation, a dispute over refund eligibility will be difficult to resolve. Always request written acknowledgment from your coach of the refund amount before you complete cancellation.
Mistake 5: not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Check your account for 2 to 3 billing cycles after cancellation to ensure no unauthorised charges appear. If a charge does occur, notify your bank immediately and initiate a dispute. This provides evidence that you cancelled and help your bank reverse the unauthorized transaction.
What happens after you cancel Lenus
Once your cancellation is complete, several outcomes occur in sequence. Understanding the timeline helps you confirm that the process is on track.
Immediate effects
Upon successful cancellation, you lose access to the Lenus app immediately. You cannot view past workout plans, nutrition logs or progress data through the platform. Your coach can no longer send you updated training schedules or messages through the app. If you wish to retain a copy of your fitness data, download or screenshot your progress records before you cancel.
Data deletion timeline
Lenus must begin your data deletion process within 14 days of your formal cancellation request. The platform typically completes deletion within 30 to 60 days, depending on the volume of data and their technical systems. You will receive a final confirmation email once deletion is complete. If you do not hear within 60 days, send a follow-up request or escalate to the PDPC.
Communication after cancellation
You should receive no further contact from Lenus or your coach after your cancellation date, except for refund processing or account closure confirmation. If you continue to receive marketing emails, app notifications or payment reminders after 30 days, this indicates that your account deletion was not properly processed. Contact Lenus support again and request verification of deletion.

Summary and next steps
Cancelling Lenus requires you to terminate both your platform account and your individual coaching relationship. The process involves notifying your coach, reviewing their cancellation policy, stopping future charges, deleting your Lenus account and requesting written confirmation from both your coach and Lenus that cancellation is complete. You are protected by Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which entitles you to fair terms, transparent pricing and, in some cases, pro-rata refunds for unused services.
Act early: provide your coach with at least 7 to 14 days' notice, document all communications and monitor your bank statement for 2 to 3 cycles after cancellation to catch any unauthorised charges. If your coach or Lenus fails to honor your cancellation or owes you a refund, escalate your complaint to CASE.
