Although Planet Fitness offers the no-commitment option, it is only available at some locations. If your area has the non-commitment option, this implies that you can cancel the plan at any time. Some of the areas require a 12-month commitment. This means that you have to pay your membership fees for twelve months before you cancel. You can contact Planet Fitness customer carehttps://gethuman.com/contact/Planet-Fitness to find out if your location requires commitment.

There may be early termination fees if you decide to cancel it before the end of the commitment period.
