How to Cancel Your Equinox Membership

Equinox has a 12-month commitment and a notice period — but there are several accepted ways to cancel. Here's how, plus a ready-to-send letter.

MethodEquinox accepts several methods: cancel in club with a manager, email Cancellations@Equinox.com, use your online account, or mail per your agreement. After the 2025 NY Attorney General settlement, the online cancellation must genuinely work. Keep written confirmation.
Notice & feesStandard memberships have a 12-month initial commitment, and within it you generally can't cancel except through an exemption. Your notice period is stated in your agreement (commonly 30–45 days) and you're billed during it — and a freeze does not waive that notice.
Free exitPer Equinox's official Member Policies, you may cancel — even during the 12 months — if you move more than 25 miles from your home or preferred club, with reasonable proof of your new residency. A medical freeze with a doctor's letter is also available.

How to cancel your Equinox membership

1

Check your agreement

Your Membership Agreement sets the exact notice period (often 30–45 days) — it's the controlling document.

2

Pick a method

In club with a manager, email Cancellations@Equinox.com, your online account, or mail per your agreement.

3

Send your request

Include your name, member ID, home club and effective date. Generate the wording above.

4

Keep confirmation

Save the email/read receipt or in-club confirmation — disputes over "was it processed?" are common.

5

Watch your statements

You're billed through the notice period. Check 2–3 cycles and dispute any charge after that.

Good to know: regulators pushed back on Equinox

In May 2025, the New York Attorney General secured a $600,000 settlement with Equinox for making cancellation "complex, difficult and time-consuming," and required clearer, more accessible cancellation. Translation: keep proof of every request, and dispute wrongful charges with your bank.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you cancel an Equinox membership online?

Yes. Equinox accepts cancellation via your online account, by email to Cancellations@Equinox.com, in club with a manager, or by mail per your agreement. After the 2025 NY Attorney General settlement, Equinox committed to a genuinely functional online cancellation.

Can I cancel during the 12-month commitment?

Generally only via an exemption — most commonly moving 25+ miles from your club (with proof), or a qualifying medical situation. Otherwise you cancel with notice after the initial 12 months.

Will I still be charged after cancelling?

You're billed through the notice period, and members report charges continuing afterward. Keep your confirmation and dispute any post-cancellation charge with your bank.
