Important pricing considerations
The monthly rate of R279.99 is the only confirmed South African pricing available through verified sources. Alo Moves may offer annual plans or promotional pricing at different times, but these have not been verified for your region. Your actual charge depends on which platform you used to subscribe: the Alo Moves website, Google Play Store or Apple App Store may display different prices due to local currency handling and regional payment variations. Yafee recommends checking your original subscription confirmation email to verify exactly which plan you enrolled in and what amount you authorised.
Common reasons to cancel Alo Moves
People cancel fitness subscriptions for legitimate and practical reasons that are entirely normal.
Why south african members typically cancel
You might be cancelling because you have lost interest in the platform, switched to a different fitness service or realised the subscription does not align with your actual exercise habits. Rising subscription costs across your digital life add up quickly, and Alo Moves may not rank high enough in your priorities to justify the ongoing expense. Other members cancel after a free trial ends and they discover the paid membership does not suit their needs. Some find the class library does not match their fitness level or preferred workout style. Financial hardship or job loss also forces many South Africans to cut discretionary spending, and streaming fitness platforms are typically the first to go. Yafee sees this pattern frequently: subscribers sign up during promotional campaigns but never develop a consistent usage habit.
Signs that cancellation makes financial sense
If you have not opened the app in more than a month, cancellation almost certainly makes financial sense. If you have a paid gym membership or attend fitness classes in person, paying for Alo Moves on top of that creates waste. If you subscribed on impulse or during a promotional offer and you are not using the service regularly, stopping the charges eliminates monthly guilt over unused access. You should also cancel if your financial circumstances have changed and discretionary spending has become unsustainable.
Your cancellation options and legal framework
South African law protects your right to cancel subscriptions, and you have clear procedures to follow depending on how you subscribed.
Your legal position under south african consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 grants you the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days of conclusion without penalty or reason. This cooling-off period applies from the date you first entered into the agreement, not from the date the service started. If you subscribed via email, website or mobile app, you subscribed at a distance and this protection applies. You must provide notice of cancellation in writing during this 14-day window. The supplier must refund any money you paid within 10 business days of your cancellation notice. After the 14-day cooling-off period expires, your contractual terms with Alo Moves govern cancellation, though you retain the right to cancel on notice according to your contract terms. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) enforces these rights and can investigate complaints if Alo Moves refuses to comply.
Where your subscription originated matters
If you subscribed directly through the Alo Moves website, you have maximum legal protection under the Consumer Protection Act because you entered a distance contract with Alo Moves themselves. If you subscribed through Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS), you technically entered a distance contract with Google or Apple respectively, not directly with Alo Moves. Consequently, your cancellation process and refund eligibility depend on which platform processed your payment. Google Play and Apple each have their own refund policies that may differ slightly from the Consumer Protection Act framework. Yafee recommends identifying your subscription source before contacting support, as this determines which party must process your cancellation.
How to cancel Alo Moves via the official website
Cancelling through the Alo Moves website directly is the most straightforward method and ensures Alo Moves processes your request without third-party delays.

Timing of cancellation
Alo Moves typically stops charging at the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of a month and your billing date is the 1st of each month, your access usually continues until the end of that calendar month, with no additional charge. You retain full access to all classes until your subscription officially ends. After your subscription ends, you lose access to the class library and cannot download further content, though previously downloaded sessions remain on your device if the app permits local storage.
How to cancel via google play store (Android)
If you subscribed through Google Play Store, you must cancel through Google's platform to stop charges and initiate refunds.
Cancelling your android subscription
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Locate and tap the Google Play Store icon on your home screen.
- If you cannot find it, swipe up from the home screen and search for "Play Store".

Refunds for android users
Google Play Store refunds depend on how long you have held the subscription. You can request a full refund within 48 hours of your initial purchase without providing any reason. After 48 hours, Google may deny refund requests, though you can still appeal if you believe the service was defective or not as described. Yafee advises preserving all evidence of your cancellation request and communication with Google, as this protects you if a dispute arises with your bank or if unexpected charges continue.
How to cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must manage your subscription through Apple's platform.
Cancelling your iOS subscription
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad

- Verify cancellation
- Return to your Subscriptions list to confirm that Alo Moves no longer appears or shows a "Cancelled" status.
- Check your email for an Apple receipt confirming the cancellation.
Refund eligibility on apple app store
Apple permits subscription refunds within 14 days of purchase if you request them promptly through the App Store. You can initiate a refund by going to your purchase history, selecting the Alo Moves subscription and requesting a refund directly through the App Store interface or by contacting Apple Support. Apple's refund window aligns with South Africa's Consumer Protection Act 14-day period, providing you with meaningful protection. If Apple denies your refund request, you retain the right to appeal and to file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission.
If you encounter technical problems cancelling through the website or app, or if charges continue after you cancel, contact Alo Moves customer support directly.
Official contact details for Alo Moves
The primary cancellation address for Alo Moves is their corporate headquarters located at Beverly Hills, United States. You can reach their customer support team through the official Alo Moves website contact page or by emailing their support inbox. When contacting support, provide your full name, email address associated with your account, subscription start date and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your membership. Request written confirmation of your cancellation and ask for clarification on your refund eligibility based on when you subscribed and which cancellation period applies to you.
Escalation if Alo Moves refuses to cancel
If Alo Moves does not respond to your cancellation request within 5 business days or refuses to cancel your subscription without legitimate reason, you have grounds to escalate your complaint. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) in South Africa enforces consumer rights and can investigate complaints against service providers who breach the Consumer Protection Act. File a complaint with the NCC if you believe Alo Moves has violated your statutory right to cancel or if they continue charging you after you have explicitly requested cancellation. Yafee advises documenting every communication attempt, including dates, times, email contents and responses. This documentation strengthens your case if you need to involve the NCC or pursue legal action.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end immediately; understanding the timeline and access period prevents confusion and disappointment.
Your access timeline after cancellation
Most fitness platforms, including Alo Moves, allow you to continue accessing all classes until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain full membership benefits until your next scheduled billing date. After that date, the Alo Moves app will either log you out or display a message indicating your subscription has expired and asking you to renew. You will no longer be able to stream new classes or access premium features. Any classes you downloaded to your device for offline use may remain playable depending on whether the app enforces digital rights management on downloaded content.
Managing your payment method after cancellation
After you cancel, verify that Alo Moves no longer appears as an active subscription on your credit card or bank statement within two to three billing cycles. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder to check this on the date your final billing cycle ends. If charges continue appearing after your subscription officially ended, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and request a chargeback. Banks in South Africa typically investigate chargebacks within 30 days, and your cancellation confirmation email provides strong evidence supporting your dispute.
Deleting your account (optional)
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your profile, email and any saved preferences remain in Alo Moves' system. If you wish to permanently delete all personal data and cannot access the website to do so, contact Alo Moves support directly and request complete account deletion. Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Alo Moves must honour reasonable requests to delete your personal information once the relationship ends. Request written confirmation that your data has been deleted.

How to request a refund
If you subscribed directly through the Alo Moves website and you are within the 14-day cooling-off period, contact Alo Moves customer support immediately stating that you wish to exercise your right to cancel under the Consumer Protection Act. Provide your subscription date and request a refund of all fees paid. Document this request in writing (email is acceptable) and keep copies. If Alo Moves refuses to refund you within the 14-day period, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission with your evidence. If you subscribed through Google Play or Apple and are within their refund windows, initiate the refund request directly through their platforms rather than contacting Alo Moves, as Google and Apple process these refunds independently.
Processing time for refunds
Refunds typically appear in your bank account or on your credit card within 5 to 10 business days, though some banks take longer depending on their processing procedures. Check your bank's mobile app or online banking portal to monitor the refund's progress. If more than 15 business days pass and the refund has not appeared, contact your bank to confirm they received the refund from Google, Apple or Alo Moves. If your bank did not receive it, contact the payment platform's support team to request a refund trace. Yafee emphasises that documentation of your cancellation request and confirmation email is essential if you need to pursue the refund further through your bank or the NCC.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but several avoidable errors can delay the process or leave you still paying charges.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
The single biggest mistake is assuming that deleting the Alo Moves app from your phone stops the charges. It does not. Your subscription remains active in Alo Moves' billing system, and they will continue to charge you every month until you formally cancel. Deleting the app simply removes your access to the service while you still pay for it. Always cancel through the website, Google Play Store or Apple App Store before deleting the app.
Ignoring confirmation emails
After you cancel, Alo Moves and payment platforms send confirmation emails proving that cancellation has been processed. Some people delete these emails immediately or assume they do not need them. Keep these emails permanently in a dedicated folder. If a charge appears after you cancel, these emails are your primary evidence proving you took action. Without them, disputing the charge with your bank becomes significantly harder.
Cancelling with the wrong account
If you have multiple email addresses, it is easy to log into the wrong Alo Moves account and attempt to cancel a subscription that is not actually charging you. Before cancelling, verify that the email address associated with the account matches the email address on your bank or credit card statement where the Alo Moves charges appear. Check your subscription details to confirm the billing date and amount match what you see on your statement.
Failing to cancel before the next billing date
If you intend to cancel within a specific month, complete the cancellation before your next scheduled billing date. Cancelling on the 30th of the month when your billing date is the 1st of the following month means you will be charged for the next period before the cancellation takes effect. Plan your cancellation for the days immediately before your billing cycle to avoid paying an extra full month.
Not checking for continued charges
After cancellation, many people assume the process is complete and do not verify their bank statements. In rare cases, recurring charges continue despite cancellation due to technical glitches or if you inadvertently reactivated the subscription. Check your bank or credit card statement after your subscription period ends to confirm that no further Alo Moves charges appear. If unexpected charges do appear, escalate immediately rather than accepting them.
Comparing your fitness subscription options
If you are cancelling Alo Moves because it does not suit your needs, understanding alternatives helps you choose a better fit.

Why free and low-cost alternatives deserve consideration
Before paying for another subscription, explore free platforms like YouTube Fitness, which hosts thousands of yoga, pilates and strength training videos from certified instructors. Many South African community centres and libraries offer fitness classes to members at no additional cost. If you prefer accountability and community support, a local gym membership often costs less than Alo Moves and provides access to equipment, personal trainers and group classes. Yafee recommends using this cancellation as an opportunity to reassess your fitness habits and determine which format (streamed, in-person or self-directed) actually motivates you to exercise consistently.
Summary and next steps

The NCC takes action on behalf of consumers when legitimate complaints are substantiated.
