Anytime Fitness Policies: Navigating Membership Transfers and Cancellations

Navigating Gym Membership: Anytime Fitness Policies Explained

A Calgary resident’s recent struggle to cancel an Anytime Fitness membership, despite relocating and gaining access to a new apartment gym, highlights a common frustration. The member found they didn’t qualify for a relocation cancellation, not having moved the required distance from their club.

While many hope for flexibility with life changes, Anytime Fitness policies have specific guidelines. Clubs are independently owned and operated, meaning cancellation and transfer rules can vary significantly. Generally, relocation cancellation is possible if moving more than 10-15 miles (approximately 16-24 km) from any Anytime Fitness location. A 30-day written notice is typically required for any cancellation.

For those looking to exit, transferring the membership to another Anytime Fitness club due to relocation is often feasible, potentially without a transfer fee, though monthly rates may adjust. However, directly transferring a membership to another individual is not universally guaranteed and depends entirely on the specific club's policies. Members should consult their individual contract or contact their home club for precise options.
