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.
