Cancel Basic Fit: Easy Method
What is Basic Fit
Overview
Basic Fit is a European fitness club operator that offers app and web‑based memberships, gym access with QR entry, and a range of membership types in the countries where it operates.
The company primarily operates in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe and is not a New Zealand‑based operator.
Where it operates
Basic Fit’s main markets are in Europe; there is no verified New Zealand presence or NZ pricing for 2024/2025.
Because it does not appear to operate in New Zealand, local postal cancellation addresses for NZ customers are not available.
How to cancel Basic Fit
Online cancellation (website & app)
Basic Fit allows cancellation via the website or the “My Basic‑Fit” app/portal where available.
If you subscribed online, use the account area to submit a cancellation or follow the provider’s online procedure.
Email or letter cancellation
- You may cancel by sending an email or a written letter including your full name, membership number and home club.
- Include clear cancellation wording, the date you want cancellation to start, and a request for confirmation and refund if applicable.
- Refer to the terms and conditions when composing your message: Basic‑Fit terms.
Notice periods and fixed-term contracts
One‑year fixed‑term contracts must be cancelled at least 4 weeks before the end of the contract to avoid automatic renewal.
If the fixed term lapses without timely cancellation, the contract typically becomes indefinite and can then be ended with 4 weeks’ notice.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Access usually continues until the end of the paid or notice period unless otherwise specified in your contract.
If you cancel during a cooling‑off period, access rules may differ depending on whether you have already used the membership.
Contract renewal and records
Failure to cancel fixed‑term memberships in time commonly triggers automatic renewal into an indefinite contract, which then requires notice to end.
Basic Fit will retain contract and payment records as required by their policies and applicable law; request written confirmation of cancellation for your records.
Will I get a refund?
14‑day cooling‑off period (online subscriptions)
If you subscribed online, Basic Fit offers a 14‑day right of withdrawal (cooling‑off), provided the membership has not been used and you did not subscribe via an in‑club kiosk.
- Cancellations within that 14‑day period incur no charge and a full refund is issued to the original payment method within 14 days.
When a deduction may apply
If the membership was used during the 14‑day period, Basic Fit may deduct a prorated amount covering the time from activation to cancellation, including any start‑up fees.
- Any refund after deduction is processed within 14 days to the original payment method.
- Always request a written refund calculation and confirmation with your cancellation.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Cooling‑off and online subscriptions
New Zealand law does not automatically provide a general 14‑day cooling‑off right for online contracts; such a right is granted only if the trader offers it.
Basic Fit’s 14‑day right applies as a contractual policy for online sign‑ups when explicitly offered by the company.
General NZ consumer protections
The Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act may apply to services in New Zealand, requiring services to be fit for purpose and not misleadingly described.
If you believe a provider has broken NZ consumer laws, contact Consumer NZ or MBIE for guidance: Consumer NZ.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users commonly report that registration is “easy”, onboarding is clear, and app‑based QR access is convenient.
Gyms are often praised for cleanliness, equipment variety, and perceived value for money.
Negative feedback
Frequent complaints relate to difficulties cancelling memberships, recurring charges continuing after cancellation attempts, and limited customer support accessibility.
Technical issues (QR codes, app errors), delayed refunds, and billing errors have also been reported by members.
Documentation checklist
Required documents to cancel
- Full name as on the membership
- Membership number or customer ID
- Home club name or membership location
- Clear written cancellation request with date
Optional supporting items
- Copy of the signed contract or welcome email
- Proof of payment or bank statement showing direct debit
- Screenshots of app cancellation attempts or confirmation messages
- Photo ID if requested for verification
Common mistakes
Timing errors
Many members miss the deadline to cancel one‑year fixed contracts (at least 4 weeks before term end), which leads to automatic renewal.
Assuming a statutory NZ cooling‑off period exists for gym subscriptions is a common mistake; always check the provider’s policy.
Communication and proof errors
Relying solely on verbal confirmation or not keeping written proof can make disputes harder to resolve.
Sending cancellations to an incorrect or non‑existent NZ postal address is another frequent error; prefer online or email cancellation where possible.

Address
Basic‑Fit address status
Basic Fit does not appear to operate in New Zealand and no NZ postal cancellation address is available from verified sources.
Because an NZ address is not applicable, rely on online or email cancellation channels where possible.
If you need to send mail
If you wish to send written notice by post, check the current Basic‑Fit terms and contact pages for the correct international or country‑specific address before sending.
When an international postal address is required, expect longer delivery and processing times; always obtain proof of posting and consider using tracked mail.
