How hard is it to cancel Curves?
Curves scores 58/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in person, letter.
Curves operates as a franchise, so its corporate Terms & Conditions page carries firm cancellation terms only for the online MyCurves On Demand subscription, which is cancelled through the account portal (web or app) and takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, with no refunds or credits for partially-used periods. In-club membership cancellation is governed by each local club's agreement, which the corporate page explicitly redirects members to; typical club memberships involve a 3 or 6-month commitment plus an enrollment fee and may require in-person or certified-mail cancellation. The online product states no minimum commitment. Freeze terms and broader in-club refund rules are not published centrally and vary by franchise.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
