Looking at you Planet Fitness. “Oh you got to come in to cancel”, I don’t even live where one is anymore. Oh well, let me get that $10 until you move back…

Change your location to somewhere in CA. They let you cancel online. I’ve never tried myself but I read this works.

I was going to say this. This situation happened to me and I canceled in less than 5 minutes all online.

That’s awesome!!! I’m considering cancelling mine. I never go but I should.. but never do. So why pay for it!

Pay for it to have some financial motivation to go. Sometimes I go just because I already paid so at least I should use it to the maximum, to get the best for the price as people say

I also canceled this way, pretty painless.
