Common Refund Situations

Select the scenario that best describes your situation with Planet Fitness.

Subscription charged after cancellation

You cancelled your Planet Fitness subscription but were still billed the following month. This is a common issue — contact support with proof of cancellation.

Defective or damaged product received

Your order arrived broken or not working as described. Planet Fitness is generally required to offer a refund or replacement for defective items under consumer protection law.

Order never arrived

Your package was marked as delivered but never arrived, or was significantly delayed beyond the estimated date. File a non-delivery claim with Planet Fitness immediately.

Item not as described

The product you received doesn't match what was advertised on Planet Fitness's website — wrong color, size, or features. This qualifies for a refund under most consumer protection laws.

Unauthorized charge on your account

You see a charge from Planet Fitness that you didn't authorize. Report this immediately to both Planet Fitness and your bank — this may qualify as fraud.

Changed your mind / buyer's remorse

You want to return an item you no longer need. Success depends on Planet Fitness's return policy — act quickly as most merchants have a limited return window.
