Most Alberta gym contracts require a medical note to cancel early. Get the documentation you need without the hassle of booking a doctor's appointment.
Gym memberships in Alberta typically lock you into 12-24 month contracts with early cancellation fees of $200-500. However, most contracts include a medical exemption clause that allows penalty-free cancellation with a doctor's note confirming you cannot exercise due to a medical condition. Common qualifying conditions include injuries, chronic pain, pregnancy, mental health conditions, and post-surgical recovery.
Under Alberta's Consumer Protection Act, fitness facility contracts must include provisions for cancellation due to medical inability to use the facility. The gym cannot refuse a legitimate medical note from a licensed physician. If they do, you can file a complaint with Service Alberta.
Any condition that prevents you from safely exercising: injuries, chronic pain, pregnancy, anxiety/depression affecting motivation, post-surgery recovery, cardiovascular conditions, and more.
Yes. Our notes are issued by CPSA-registered physicians and meet the requirements of standard gym contract medical exemption clauses in Alberta.
Once you present the note, most gyms process the cancellation within 5-10 business days. Your billing should stop within one billing cycle.
This depends on your specific contract. The medical note allows penalty-free cancellation going forward. Refunds for past payments are at the gym's discretion.
