How hard is it to cancel Fitness First UK?

Cancellation is primarily handled online via the Member Area (/members/my-membership/cancel-membership/), with alternatives via the online contact form, club phone, or in-person at the club. One full calendar month's notice is required; for example, to end at 30 June, notice must be given by 1 June. A 7-day cooling-off period applies at joining (full refund unless the member has visited 3+ times). Early termination within a minimum-term contract incurs a settlement fee equal to the monthly discount received multiplied by months already used; no fee applies for medical, redundancy, or relocation (5+ miles) with supporting evidence.

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.
