Are you trying to cancel your Hotworx membership? Hotworx is a unique type of gym that uses heat and infrared technology during their workouts, but this type of exercise isn't for everyone. No matter the reason for wanting to cancel, we'll teach you how to do it. Hotworx's cancellation process is a little confusing, so read on to learn more.

How to End a Hotworx Membership

To avoid fees, you must give a 60-day cancellation notice after completing your 90-day initial period. You may be required to pay your next 60 days of membership fees up front. Cancellations can be made in person or via certified mail. Early cancellations will incur a $99 fee and must be done in person.

  1. When signing up for a Hotworx membership, you are initially enrolled in a 90-day initial membership term. After the first 90 days, your membership becomes month-to-month.
    • Read the contract provided to you by Hotworx to see all of their terms and conditions. Hotworx's contract is not available online for reference.
  2. After this initial period, Hotworx requires a 60-day notice for cancellation. You can cancel in person or via certified mail.
    • This, combined with the three-month initiation period, means you must pay for a minimum of five months of Hotworx membership before you can cancel without fees.

  3. To start the cancellation process, go to your Hotworx gym and ask for a manager. Once speaking with a manager, ask the manager for a membership cancellation form. While you only need to cancel in person, having multiple copies of your cancellation paperwork is useful for recordkeeping.
    • If possible, take the form home and fill it out. Then, make one copy for your records, and one copy to send via certified mail. You can return the original, filled-out copy to your Hotworx location as an in-person cancellation.
    • You may be required to pay the next 60 days of your subscription up-front if you submit a cancellation notice. [1]
  4. If you insist on canceling your membership before your 90-day initiation period is complete, Hotworx will charge a fee of $99.
    • You also must submit your cancellation in person to cancel instantly.
  5. If you attempt to cancel your Hotworx membership before midnight on the third business day after you sign up, you may be able to cancel your membership without fees.
    • It's not clear if you can get a refund for your membership fees this way. Ask the manager of your Hotworx for more clarification.
    • This method may or may not work, depending on the Hotworx location.
  6. Your membership can be frozen for up to three months. Frozen memberships cost $9 per month, and this fee is charged in place of your normal membership fee.
    • You cannot access Hotworx while your membership is frozen.
  7. If you have a note from your doctor explaining that they don't recommend you continue with Hotworx's workouts, you may be able to cancel your membership without fees.
    • Unfortunately, as Hotworx has not posted their membership policies, a doctor's note may or may not work depending on your Hotworx location.
