How hard is it to cancel The Gym Group?
The Gym Group scores 70/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the UK — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app, phone, email.
Monthly members cancel via the app or member area online (or Live Chat for card-payment members); 5 working days' notice before the next billing date is required to avoid the upcoming charge. Refunds are only available within the first 14 days of joining — full refund if unused, proportionate if the gym was used; after 14 days no refunds are issued for unused time. Saver (fixed-term) memberships cannot be cancelled after the 14-day window and cannot be frozen. Monthly memberships can be frozen (paused) at any time, with Ultimate members receiving one free freeze month per year and other tiers paying a stated fee.

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.
