How to Cancel a Gym Membership in Massachusetts
Your legal cancellation rights in Massachusetts — and the exact steps and letter to use them.
Massachusetts gives you 3 days to cancel a new membership for a refund.
A buyer may cancel a health-club services contract within 3 business days after receiving a copy of the written contract or receipt.
| Refund rules | All money paid refunded within 15 business days of the seller's receipt of the cancellation notice; the seller may retain the value of services actually used. |
|---|---|
| How to cancel legally | Deliver written notice of cancellation to the seller. The statute spells out a buyer's-rights statement that must appear in the contract. |
| Special protections | After the 3-day window may cancel for death, physical disability lasting more than 3 months, relocation more than 25 miles where no comparable substitute accepts the contract, or seller's closure. |
| Statute | Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93, 78-89 (cancellation in 81-82) |
