Cancellation service #1 in Canada
GYMVMT (often styled GYMVMT or GYMVMT / HER GYMVMT) is a Canadian fitness chain offering club access, coaching services and hybrid training programs. Memberships are sold with written terms and may include monthly/bi‑weekly billing, annual facility improvement fees, and optional training add‑ons.
GYMVMT’s publicly stated process requires members to cancel in person at a GYMVMT or HER GYMVMT location. Phone, email, fax or verbal cancellation requests are not accepted under the membership terms; a freeze (putting an account on hold) is not the same as cancellation and will resume billing at the end of the freeze period. If you cannot attend in person, a registered letter sent to the company’s address is the most reliable alternative, although the contract language gives priority to an in‑person request.
When GYMVMT accepts a cancellation request in accordance with its terms, access to club facilities will typically continue through the end of the required notice period (commonly 30 days). Any recurring billing should stop after the notice period; however, frozen memberships resume automatically when the freeze ends and do not constitute cancellation. The club may retain account records for administration and dispute handling - ask for written confirmation that the account will be closed and retained data policies if you need your personal data removed or updated.
GYMVMT’s stated policies indicate that dues accrued during a freeze are not refundable and that refunds are not generally provided for membership dues. If you cancel an annual membership before the contract term ends, an early cancellation fee may apply and annual facility improvement fees are described as non‑refundable, non‑cancellable and non‑transferable. There is no explicit 14‑day cooling‑off or refund policy published in GYMVMT’s terms. If you believe a refund is owed (for example, billing after an acknowledged cancellation), document the charges and raise the issue with the club; if unresolved, escalate to your bank or provincial consumer protection authority.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Gym Membership | C$19.95 | Bi‑Weekly | Access to single club (excluding Calgary Place), flexible contracts, cancellation anytime |
| SYNC'D Coaching (hybrid personal training) | C$59.00 | Bi‑Weekly | 45‑minute in‑person training every two weeks + personalized app workouts |
| Summer Lift Pass (youth 12 - 15) | C$99.00 | One‑time (3 months) | 3 months gym access (weekday before 5 pm / weekends), 3 guided cardio resistance sessions |
Canadian consumer law varies by province. Some provinces provide short cooling‑off periods or specific protections for certain contracts, but practices and statutory rights differ (for example, Ontario and British Columbia have distinct consumer protection legislation). GYMVMT’s published terms do not reference a statutory cooling‑off right; if you believe the written contract conflicts with provincial consumer protection rules you should review the applicable provincial statute and consider contacting the provincial consumer protection office or an ombudsman. If the company fails to honour legal rights or continues billing after a valid cancellation, you may also pursue a chargeback with your payment provider or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and provincial enforcement bodies.
Public reviews are mixed. Positive comments commonly praise equipment, cleanliness, staff helpfulness and knowledgeable trainers. Negative reports focus on difficulty cancelling, confusion between freezes and cancellations, continued billing after cancellation requests and disputes over waived or hidden fees. Multiple consumer complaints note instances where freezes resumed billing unexpectedly and refunds were refused.
Common errors include treating a freeze as a cancellation (which will not stop billing after the freeze ends), assuming phone/email cancellation is valid despite contract language, not providing or obtaining the required written acknowledgement, and failing to allow for the contract’s notice period (often 30 days). Another frequent problem is not retaining proof of the cancellation request and the club’s acknowledgement, which makes disputes over continued billing harder to resolve.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| In‑person at a GYMVMT / HER GYMVMT location | No general refunds; subject to early cancellation fees and non‑refundable facility fees | Moderate - requires visit and 30‑day notice; request written acknowledgement |
| Freeze (account hold) | No - dues during freeze are not refunded; billing resumes when freeze ends | Low to request, but often misunderstood and does not stop membership permanently |
| Phone / email / fax / verbal | Not accepted as valid per GYMVMT terms; unlikely to produce refund or stop billing | High - contract states these methods are not valid; may not stop charges |
After you submit a cancellation in person (or by registered letter if you cannot attend), keep the dated acknowledgement and monitor your card or bank statements for at least two billing cycles. If charges continue, contact the club immediately with your proof; if unresolved, contact your bank to dispute recurring charges and consider filing complaints with provincial consumer protection authorities and the Better Business Bureau.
