How hard is it to cancel Equinox?
Equinox scores 62/100 (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), email, in person, postal mail.
Equinox members can cancel by logging into their account online, emailing [email protected], visiting a club manager in person, or sending written notice by mail per their Membership Agreement. Notice periods vary by state and members should review their individual agreement for state-specific requirements. Memberships typically carry a 12-month initial term with early cancellation restricted to qualifying exceptions (relocation, medical, or hardship). A freeze option is available for members who cannot use the club temporarily, via in-person request or email to [email protected].

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.
