Memberships & billing
How do I cancel my membership?
It depends on how long you’ve been a member.
After 26 bi-weekly payments: cancelling is free. Email [email protected] with the subject “Membership Cancellation Request” at least 35 days ahead. We’ll email you your final access date.
Before 26 bi-weekly payments: email [email protected] with the subject “Early Cancellation Request” and send the $100 early cancellation fee by e‑transfer to [email protected]. Your 35 days’ notice starts once the fee arrives. Any prepaid payments are not refunded, including the final 2 months (4 bi-weekly payments) paid upfront. We’ll confirm by email once it’s done.
Can I put my membership on hold?
Yes, for 2 to 6 bi-weekly periods, once every 12 months.
Your regular bi-weekly payments keep coming out during the hold. They’re saved as time credits and added to the end of your membership when you cancel. Hold credits aren’t refundable.
To set one up, email [email protected] with the subject “Membership Hold Request” and the bi-weekly periods you want it to start and end.
How do I get receipts for my taxes?
Receipts are issued twice a year: for January to June after July 15, and for July to December after January 15. Email [email protected] if you need one.
Is there a sign up fee?
No. You just need a key fob. See memberships for current prices.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Anyone new to GYM41 gets a free 1st workout. It’s only available during staffed hours and must be done through GYM41 staff.
