How to Cancel Blink Fitness in 2026
Blink Fitness now operates as PureGym US, and you cancel the same three ways: log into your member account and cancel there, email member services at us.member.services@puregym.com, or ask the front desk at your gym. Your cancellation has to be received at least 7 days before your next billing date to stop the next charge, and if you are inside a 12-month commitment you may owe a $60 buy-out fee.
Short answer: Blink is PureGym US now. Cancel online, by email, or at the desk, and get it in at least 7 days before your next bill. There is no App Store or Google Play billing to blame here. It is direct debit from your card or bank.
Last updated: June 2026.
The detail that bites: Your cancellation must reach PureGym US no later than 7 days before your next Membership Dues payment date. Miss that window and one more charge goes through. On a 12-month commitment plan, cancelling before your term ends usually triggers a $60 buy-out fee on top.
Wait, is Blink Fitness now PureGym?
Yes. Blink Fitness was acquired and rebranded as PureGym US, run by PureFitness LLC. The old Blink app stopped working in August 2025, so your account and membership are now managed through PureGym. The gyms and your contract carried over. When you go to cancel, you are dealing with PureGym US member services, not the old Blink help center. That old faq.blinkfitness.com link just redirects to PureGym now. Verify current terms on the PureGym US site, because terms change.
How do I cancel Blink Fitness (PureGym US)?
You have three real methods. Online is fastest, but any of them work as long as your request lands before the deadline. Blink billing is a direct EFT from your card or bank account, so there is no Apple or Google subscription to cancel separately.
- Log into your account. Open your PureGym US member account (through the PureGym app or the login link on the PureGym US site), go to the Billing or membership section, and choose Cancel Membership. Follow the prompts to the end.
- Email member services. Send a written cancellation to us.member.services@puregym.com. Put your full name, the email on your account, your home gym, and one clear line: "I am cancelling my membership. Please confirm in writing."
- Ask the front desk. Visit your gym and tell a staff member you want to cancel. Ask them to process it and give you written or emailed confirmation before you leave.
- Get proof and check the date. Screenshot the confirmation, save the email, or take the printout. Ask for your final billing date in writing so you know exactly when charges stop.
- Watch your next statement. Confirm the charge actually stopped on your card or bank account.
What is the Blink Fitness cancellation deadline?
This is the part people get wrong. Under the current PureGym US membership agreement, your cancellation must be received no later than 7 days before the date of your next Membership Dues payment. For a standard monthly plan, that is at least 7 business days before your next deduction. If your request lands inside that 7-day window, the next payment still goes through and your cancellation takes effect after that. So do not wait until the day before your bill. Send it early.
Do I keep gym access after I cancel?
Generally you keep access for the time you have already paid for. On a month-to-month plan, PureGym US says it refunds the pro-rata amount of any prepaid unused dues within 10 business days after your cancellation takes effect, so you are not paying for empty time. On a fixed-term paid-in-full plan, the refund math is different (see below). Either way, cancelling stops the auto-renewal. It does not usually claw back a charge that already went through, which is exactly why the 7-day deadline matters.
Will Blink Fitness charge me a fee to cancel?
It depends on your plan. Here is how the current PureGym US terms break down.
- Month-to-month / no-commitment plan. Cancel any time. No buy-out fee. You just owe through the notice period and get a pro-rata refund of prepaid unused dues.
- 12-month commitment plan (paid monthly). If you cancel before your Initial Membership Period ends, you owe a $60 buy-out fee at the time of cancellation. Corporate members have that $60 fee waived.
- Paid-in-full fixed term (6 or 12 months). If you cancel before the term expires, you give 30 days' written notice and get back 50% of the pro-rata dues you paid, minus a $60 buy-out fee.
Illustrative example: leave a 12-month plan three months early and you could pay the $60 buy-out plus the current month's dues. Illustrative example. Results vary and are not guaranteed. Confirm your own numbers on your membership agreement.
Can I cancel Blink Fitness without the fee?
Sometimes. The PureGym US agreement lists specific reasons that let you cancel without the usual penalty, with proof:
- A doctor's order that you cannot use the gym due to a significant physical disability for more than 3 months.
- You move your residence more than 25 miles from any PureGym US location.
- You are called to full-time active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.
- Death of the member.
- The gym permanently closes or substantially changes operation.
There is also a 14-day cooling-off window from the date you signed. Cancel within 14 days and you get a full refund of what you paid. Under these routes you generally get back prepaid unused dues, though joining fees are not refunded.
Which Blink Fitness cancellation method should I use?
| Method | Works? | Gives proof? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online account | Yes | Yes | Fastest. Screenshot the confirmation. |
| Email member services | Yes | Yes | Dated written record. Best for a paper trail. |
| Front desk | Yes | Sometimes | Ask for written confirmation before you leave. |
| App Store / Google Play | No | No | Not how Blink bills. It is direct debit. |
| Karen | Yes | Yes | Karen writes and sends the cancellation and chases confirmation. Outcome is not guaranteed. |
What if Blink Fitness keeps charging me after I cancel?
You are not stuck. If a charge hits after a valid cancellation, that is a billing error and you have real footing.
- Send a written demand. Reply to member services with your cancellation proof and the date, and ask them to stop billing and refund the wrong charge.
- Dispute the charge with your card issuer. Under the federal Fair Credit Billing Act, you generally have 60 days from the statement showing a billing error to dispute it in writing on a credit card. A charge after a valid cancellation can qualify. Here is how to dispute a credit card charge step by step.
- Know the difference. A chargeback and a refund are not the same thing. Read chargeback vs refund before you pick one.
- Do not just kill the card and walk away. The membership can stay active and unpaid dues can follow you to collections. PureGym US names Aldous & Associates as its collections agency. Cancel properly first.
What are my rights on auto-renewal and recurring charges?
Blink commitment plans auto-renew to month-to-month if you do not cancel in time, and the agreement spells that out. Around 30 states have their own automatic-renewal laws, and some require a clear cancellation path and advance notice. The federal FTC "click to cancel" rule was vacated by a court in July 2025, so it is not currently in force, but state laws and the Fair Credit Billing Act still protect you. None of this is legal advice. It is the factual lay of the land. If a company flat out won't refund you, you still have options.
