Last reviewed 2026-06-06 · Documented-Policy tier · grade D

Gold's Gym requires members to cancel in person at their home gym location or by certified mail (to Gold's Gym / ABC Financial Services, P.O. Box 6800, Sherwood, AR 72124), with at least 30 days' written notice; billing continues through the notice period. A small number of franchise locations offer online cancellation through the MyiClubOnline portal, but this is not a universal option. Month-to-month members face no cancellation fee with proper notice, while installment-plan members who cancel early generally owe a termination fee of approximately $125 unless they qualify for a medical, military, or relocation exemption (move of 25+ miles). Prorated refunds are generally not offered for unused days in the final billing cycle.

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.
