Charged after cancelling Anytime Fitness? How to get your money back
You cancelled Anytime Fitness — and got billed anyway. Here's the step-by-step to dispute the charge and get a refund, and how proof of your cancellation makes it work.
Charged after cancelling Anytime Fitness? Because each club is independently franchised, cancellation must go through your home club in writing — and most require around 30 days' notice — so a draft or two after your request is common when the timing is tight.
Why Anytime Fitness charges can show up after you cancel
Your Anytime Fitness club only stops the draft once it processes your written cancellation and the notice period passes. If you cancelled by app, emailed the wrong place, or requested it too late in the cycle, the next payment can still go through. A dated written confirmation from your home club is what proves you cancelled in time.
Step 1 — Gather your proof
Collect everything that shows you cancelled before the charge: the cancellation confirmation email from Anytime Fitness, the date you cancelled, and any screenshots of the cancellation screens. If you used CancelProof, this is already a ready-made refund pack.
Step 2 — Contact Anytime Fitness directly
Reach out to Anytime Fitness support, state that you were charged after cancelling, give your cancellation date, and request a refund. Attach your proof. Many wrongful charges are reversed at this stage.
Step 3 — Dispute with your bank or card issuer
If Anytime Fitness won't resolve it, contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge (a "chargeback"). Provide your evidence — the cancellation confirmation and dates. Card networks generally side with a documented cancellation.
Prevent it next time
Set a reminder before each renewal, cancel with time to spare, and document the cancellation as you do it. See how to cancel Anytime Fitness the right way.
