Cancel 9Round: The Right Way to Protect Your Rights

How to cancel your 9Round membership in canada and protect your refund rights

Why you're considering cancellation and what you need to know first

9Round is a kickboxing-themed fitness franchise operating across Canada with two distinct membership pathways: in-studio group classes and 9RoundNOW, their on-demand digital platform. Both options offer flexibility, but cancellation rules, notice periods, and refund eligibility differ significantly between them. Whether you're relocating, discovering the workout style isn't right for you, or adjusting your budget, understanding your specific cancellation rights puts you in control before you take action.

The fitness industry in Canada is regulated by provincial consumer protection laws that grant you specific cancellation rights regardless of what a membership contract says. Your rights depend on which membership type you hold, which province you live in, and how long you've been a member. Tocancel is here to walk you through every step and help you exit your membership with confidence.

The two 9Round membership types explained

9RoundNOW memberships are month-to-month or annual digital subscriptions you purchase and manage through the mobile app or website. These are technically easier to cancel but come with their own notice requirements. In-studio memberships, by contrast, are local contracts you sign directly with your franchise location. The cancellation process, refund timeline, and legal protections differ significantly between the two, and many Canadians don't realize they have different rules until they try to cancel.

Your legal position under canadian consumer protection law

Most Canadian provinces regulate fitness membership contracts under consumer protection legislation. Many provinces restrict contracts longer than two years, grant you a statutory right to cancel within 10 to 14 days after signing (depending on your province), and recognize cancellation rights based on relocation, medical grounds, or facility closure. These protections exist specifically to protect you, even if 9Round's terms attempt to limit them. Your provincial consumer protection authority is your escalation point if 9Round refuses to honour these rights.

9Round membership plans and canadian pricing

The table below summarizes the main membership options available to Canadian members and their key cancellation characteristics.

Pricing varies by location and current promotions. Check your contract or account dashboard to confirm your exact plan type, renewal date, and any promotional terms. Tocancel recommends reviewing your account at least 30 days before your next billing date to plan your cancellation with confidence.

How to cancel 9RoundNOW membership (digital and app-based)

If you subscribed to 9RoundNOW through the app or website, you can cancel directly through your account without contacting the studio.

Cancelling month-to-month 9RoundNOW membership in five steps

1. Open the 9Round mobile app on your phone or visit the 9RoundNOW website on your computer.
   • Both platforms allow cancellation; the website is often clearer for account management.
2. Log in with your email address and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it before proceeding.
3. Navigate to "My Membership," "Account Settings," or "Subscription Management" (the exact label varies by app version).
   • This section appears in the app menu or account sidebar on the website.
4. Select "Cancel Membership," "Manage Subscription," or "End Subscription."
   • You may see a retention offer or pause option here; you are not obligated to accept it.
   • If pause is offered, confirm you are selecting "Cancel" and not "Pause" unless that is your intention.
5. Confirm your cancellation and request a written confirmation email.
   • Screenshot the final confirmation screen as proof of your cancellation date.
   • The app or website should display your cancellation effective date; note this date for your records.

Your month-to-month 9RoundNOW membership will stop at the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged for the following month. Save your confirmation email and screenshot as proof in case you are billed in error.

Cancelling annual 9RoundNOW membership with proper notice

Annual 9RoundNOW memberships require you to cancel before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next 12 months. Follow the same five steps above, but do this at least 7 to 10 days before your annual renewal date to ensure the cancellation is processed in time.

1. Check your account dashboard or confirmation email to find your exact annual renewal date.
   • This date is critical; missing it means you'll be charged for another year.
2. Cancel through the app or website at least 10 days before that renewal date.
   • Do not wait until the last day; processing delays are common.
3. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation showing the effective date.
   • This screenshot is your proof if 9Round charges you in error.
4. Monitor your payment method for 14 days after your renewal date to ensure you are not charged.
   • If you are charged, contact your payment provider immediately to dispute the transaction under your consumer protection rights.

Tocancel strongly recommends setting a phone reminder 14 days before your annual renewal date so you never miss the cancellation window.

How to cancel in-studio 9Round membership

In-studio memberships require written notice to your local franchise or 9Round's Head Office to be properly cancelled and to protect your refund rights under Canadian consumer law.

Cancelling through your local studio

Your local 9Round franchise may handle cancellations at the studio level, but written communication is essential to protect yourself.

1. Contact your local studio by phone or email to confirm their cancellation policy.
   • Ask them for their cancellation email address and mailing address.
   • Request confirmation that they accept cancellations and do not require notification to the Head Office.
2. If the studio accepts cancellations, send a written cancellation request via email.
   • Include your full name, membership number, current email, and phone number.
   • State your cancellation effective date (typically the end of your current billing period).
   • Request a written confirmation of cancellation.
3. Keep a copy of your email and any response for your records.
   • If the studio does not respond within 5 business days, escalate to the Head Office using the address below.

Cancelling through 9Round head office (most reliable method)

For formal, documented cancellation with full legal protection, send written notice to 9Round's Head Office via registered mail. This creates an official record and ensures your cancellation is processed correctly.

1. Prepare a cancellation letter in writing that includes:
   • Your full legal name and membership account number.
   • Your phone number and email address.
   • Your requested cancellation date (typically the end of your current billing period).
   • A clear statement: "I request to cancel my in-studio membership effective [date]."
   • A request for written confirmation of cancellation.
2. Keep a copy of your letter for your records before mailing.
3. Send the letter via Canada Post Registered Mail (with signature confirmation) to:
   • 9Round Inc. (Head Office)
   • Please contact your local studio or check your membership contract for the current official Head Office address, as locations may change.
4. Request a delivery receipt and keep it with your copy of the cancellation letter.
   • The receipt proves you sent the notice on a specific date, which is important if a dispute arises.
5. Allow 10 to 14 business days for the Head Office to process your cancellation and respond.
   • Follow up by email if you do not receive confirmation within 14 days.

Registered mail with signature confirmation is the gold standard for cancellation because it creates legal proof that 9Round received your notice on a specific date. This protection is critical if you later dispute a charge or need to escalate to your provincial consumer authority.

Understanding refunds and billing after cancellation

Refund eligibility depends on your membership type, your province, and the reason for cancellation. Know what to expect and what you can legally claim.

Refund eligibility for 9RoundNOW members

9RoundNOW memberships typically do not offer refunds for partial months or unused prepaid content. If you cancel on the 15th of the month, you lose access to content for the remaining 15 days without refund. However, if you cancel within your province's statutory cooling-off period (typically 10 to 14 days after purchase), you may have a legal right to a full refund under consumer protection law, regardless of what the contract says.

Check your cancellation confirmation for your refund status. If 9Round has already charged your payment method for the next month after you cancelled, and you did not authorize that charge, contact your payment provider to dispute it under your consumer protection rights.

Refund eligibility for in-studio members

In-studio memberships rarely offer refunds for standard cancellation after the statutory cooling-off period (first 10 to 14 days). However, you may be entitled to a refund if:

• You cancel within your province's cooling-off period (typically 10 to 14 days after signing).
• You relocate outside the service area of your studio (relocation clause).
• The studio closes or permanently stops operations.
• You have a medical condition or injury that prevents you from using the facility (medical exemption).
• You are required to relocate due to employment (in some provinces).

If any of these conditions apply to you, include this information in your cancellation letter and request a refund of unused prepaid membership fees. Tocancel recommends being specific: "I am relocating on [date] to [city]. I request a pro-rata refund of my remaining membership fees from [date] forward."

What happens to auto-pay after you cancel

After you cancel, 9Round should stop charging your payment method on the next billing date. However, verify this yourself by monitoring your bank account or credit card statement for 14 to 21 days after your cancellation date.

If you are charged after cancellation, take these steps:

1. Check your cancellation confirmation email to confirm the cancellation was processed and the effective date.
2. Contact 9Round by email with your confirmation details and the unauthorized charge.
3. If 9Round does not refund the charge within 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charge as "unauthorized billing."
4. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you cancelled before the charge was applied.

Your bank can reverse the charge and refund you within 5 to 10 business days. Keep all documentation (cancellation email, receipt, bank statement showing the charge) for your records.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling 9Round

Cancelling a fitness membership can feel stressful, and small missteps often delay your exit or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.

Mistake 1: cancelling only through the app and not requesting written confirmation

If you cancel through the 9RoundNOW app, take a screenshot of the final confirmation and request a confirmation email from 9Round. App-based cancellations sometimes fail silently, and you may be charged without realizing the cancellation did not go through. A written email confirmation gives you proof if a dispute arises.

Mistake 2: missing your renewal date for annual memberships

Annual 9RoundNOW memberships auto-renew on a specific date. If you miss that date and are charged for another year, you have a much harder time getting a refund. Set a phone reminder 14 days before your renewal date, and cancel at least 10 days early to account for processing delays.

Mistake 3: calling the studio instead of sending written notice for in-studio memberships

A phone call to your local studio does not create a legal record that you cancelled. The person you spoke to may forget, leave their job, or write down your name incorrectly. Send a written cancellation request via email or registered mail to the Head Office, and keep a copy for yourself. Written notice is your legal protection.

Mistake 4: not checking if you qualify for a refund under consumer law

Many Canadians simply accept "no refunds" as final without checking if they have a legal right to one. If you are within your cooling-off period, relocated, or have a medical exemption, you may be entitled to a refund. Research your provincial consumer protection law or contact your provincial consumer authority to confirm your rights before accepting a "no refund" response.

Mistake 5: not monitoring your account after cancellation

Even after you cancel, billing errors happen. Check your bank or credit card statement for the next 14 to 21 days to confirm you are not charged again. If you are, having your cancellation confirmation email in hand makes disputing the charge straightforward.

After cancellation: what happens next

Cancellation is not the end of the process; protecting yourself after you leave is equally important. Here is what to expect and monitor.

Timeline after you cancel

Expect these milestones after your cancellation date:

• Within 1 business day: You should receive a cancellation confirmation email from 9Round (either through the app or the Head Office).
• Within 5 business days: Your access to 9RoundNOW content should be blocked, or you should be unable to book in-studio classes.
• Within 10 business days: No new charge should appear on your payment method.
• Within 14 to 21 days: You should see final confirmation on your bank or credit card statement that no further charges are pending.

What to do if you are charged after cancellation

If 9Round charges you after your cancellation effective date, act quickly:

1. Do not assume it is an error that will be corrected automatically; it will not be.
2. Email 9Round with the subject line "Unauthorized charge after cancellation" and include your cancellation confirmation.
3. If 9Round does not refund within 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the transaction.
4. Provide your bank with proof of cancellation (email confirmation or registered mail receipt).
5. Your bank will investigate and refund you within 5 to 10 business days.

When to escalate to your provincial consumer authority

If 9Round refuses to cancel your membership, denies you a refund you are legally entitled to, or continues charging you after cancellation, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority:

• Ontario: Consumer Protection Office (ontario.ca)
• British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC (consumerprotectionbc.ca)
• Alberta: Alberta Consumer Protection (aupa.ca)
• Other provinces: Search "[Your Province] consumer protection" to find the correct authority.

Your provincial authority can investigate complaints, force refunds, and levy fines against companies that violate consumer protection law. Tocancel recommends filing a complaint if you have attempted to resolve the issue with 9Round directly and they have refused to comply.

When to keep your 9Round membership and when to cancel

Before you submit a cancellation request, consider whether cancelling is truly your best option or if there are alternatives that might solve your concern.
