When you try to cancel
🟢 They'll offer discounts
Equinox may offer retention discounts if you cancel in-club with a manager — typically a reduced rate for 3-6 months or waived initiation fee on a new contract. Requires 30-45 days notice. Early termination fees apply on 12-month contracts ($50-100+). Can also cancel via email to Cancellations@Equinox.com.

Account preserved
Equinox is the hardest mainstream gym to cancel. The 30-45 day notice requirement means you'll pay at least one more month after requesting cancellation. If cancelling in person, the manager will try to retain you, use this as leverage for a discount if you're willing to stay at a lower rate. Alternative: Equinox+ digital-only membership is $39.99/mo if you want to keep virtual classes without the gym.
