How hard is it to cancel Goodlife Health Clubs?

Goodlife Health Clubs scores 68/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the AU — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, in person.

Last reviewed 2026-06-16 · Documented-Policy tier · grade C

Goodlife requires 30 days notice (14 days in the ACT and SA), with cancellation handled by phone or in person at the home club (1300 393 733) rather than through a self-serve portal; the notice period excludes any active freeze. Memberships range from month-to-month rolling plans to 3/6/12/18-month minimum terms and upfront fixed terms. Cancelling inside a minimum term triggers tiered early-termination fees of roughly $195-$345 depending on time remaining and tier, waived for medical reasons or bankruptcy. A 7-business-day cooling-off period applies to new memberships (not transfers or renewals), with a full refund minus a reasonable admin fee if the access card is not returned within 7 days. Freezes are limited to 4 weeks per year at $5/week.

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.
