How to Cancel City Fitness NZ

City Fitness has no lock-in beyond the 4-week minimum. The cancellation process is: 1. **Check you've completed your 4-week minimum** โ€” if you signed up less than 4 weeks ago, you'll need to wait or pay for the remaining weeks. 2. **Visit your home City Fitness club** and request a cancellation form. Complete it in person and keep a copy. 3. **Alternatively**, send a written cancellation request via email to your club. 4. **Get written confirmation** โ€” email confirmation that your cancellation has been processed and your final payment date. 5. **Continue training** until your final payment date โ€” your membership remains active through the notice period. 6. **Cancel your direct debit** via online banking after the final payment has processed.

Notice Period

City Fitness typically requires 2โ€“4 weeks notice to cancel. Your direct debit will continue for this period after you submit your cancellation. Check your specific membership agreement for the exact notice requirement, as it can vary. The key is submitting cancellation before your next billing cycle if you want to minimise additional charges.

No Long-Term Exit Fees

Once you've completed your 4-week minimum, there are no exit fees for City Fitness cancellation. This is one of the advantages of choosing City Fitness over gyms with 12-month contracts โ€” you're not locked in and there's no financial penalty for leaving.
