How to Cancel Your Retro Fitness Subscription (2026)

You can try calling your home club directly. You can find the number on the Retro Fitness Locations page.

Warning: Most employees are trained to say "you have to come in person" to cancel. If you call, ask to speak to a manager immediately and ask for an email confirmation of the conversation. If they refuse to help over the phone, you are stuck going in or mailing a letter.

Retro Fitness operates on a franchise model, meaning the rules can change depending on if you are in New Jersey or Florida. Generally, you must provide a 30 to 60-day written notice. This means you will likely be billed one or two more times after you say "I quit."

If you are in a 12-month commitment, expect a buyout fee (often around $50 to $100) to break the contract early. They are strict about this. Complaints on the Better Business Bureau frequently mention users being charged for months after they thought they cancelled because they didn't send a certified letter.

Check these details before you start the fight:

• Cancellation Fees: Are you still in your first year? You might owe a buyout fee.
• Annual Fee: This usually hits once a year. If you cancel less than 30 days before this date, you will still get charged the full annual fee (usually ~$50).
• Refunds: They basically do not exist. Retro Fitness rarely offers refunds for partial months or "forgotten" subscriptions.
• Transfer: Sometimes it is cheaper to transfer the membership to a friend than to pay the cancellation fee.

If the gym is ignoring you, try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up via a corporate wellness program (like Gympass/Wellhub)? You must cancel through them, not Retro.
• Use a Desktop: The mobile site for ABC Financial is often glitchy. Log in from a laptop.
• Certified Mail: We cannot stress this enough. If you mail a letter, pay the extra $4 for a return receipt. It is your only defense if they keep charging you.
• Stop Payment: As a last resort, contact your bank to block charges from "Retro Fitness" or "ABC Fitness," but be aware they might send your account to collections.
