Common Anytime Fitness customer issues and complaints
Drawing on ProductReview.com.au, Trustpilot, Reddit and Whirlpool, these are the recurring Anytime Fitness complaints Australia members raise.
Difficulty Cancelling Memberships
- Single most common frustration — a viral r/melbourne thread on cancelling Anytime Fitness attracted 400+ upvotes.
- Members report unanswered emails, ignored cancellation requests, and direct debits continuing after they believed cancellation was complete.
Anytime Fitness Billing Complaints (Debitsuccess)
- Direct debits flagged as "failed" despite sufficient funds, late fees applied without warning.
- Unexpected price increases — one member reported a fortnightly charge climbing from $85 to $121.
Contract Confusion
- Members told their term was 12 months but billed across 18 or 24 months.
- Auto-rollover into a continuing month-to-month arrangement not clearly understood at sign-up.
Freeze Fees and Refusals
- Anytime Fitness freeze membership requests typically incur $2.50–$10/week.
- Some clubs refuse freezes despite documented hardship, depending on the franchise owner.
Equipment & Cleanliness Inconsistency
- Quality varies widely between clubs — broken machines, poor air-conditioning, and declining standards under new ownership.
- Long-term members report sharp drops in maintenance after a club changes hands.
App, Key Fob & Access Pass Problems
- Key fobs failing at the door and AF App access pass not provisioning.
- NFC settings causing access denial, plus account "relink" issues after a membership change.
Franchise-Level Inconsistency
- Each club is independently owned, so service quality and hardship discretion differ club-to-club.
- The same complaint can land very differently depending on your home club's owner.

Anytime Fitness complaints submitted through Ajust
I tried contacting Anytime Fitness multiple times over two months to cancel my membership but never received a callback. My membership was renewed without my consent, and as a single parent it caused real financial stress. I just wanted them to contact me and confirm the cancellation. - Holly
After breaking my shoulder, I tried contacting Anytime Fitness several times to place my membership on hold but couldn’t reach anyone and only left voicemails. Despite this, charges continued and were even referred to debt collection, which was incredibly stressful. - Joseph
I contacted Anytime Fitness to cancel my membership but kept getting transferred between locations with no resolution. The poor communication was frustrating, especially as I was still being charged despite not using the gym. - Arpitha
I contacted Anytime Fitness after noticing I was still being charged long after cancelling in person. I was told the issue would be fixed and someone would follow up, but that never happened and the charges kept going. - Brad
Recent experiences with Anytime Fitness customer service
Accessibility Support Done Well
A wheelchair-using member named Michael praised staff member Chrissy for empathetic service. The club applied "good will" fee reductions to address his accessibility concerns, showing the community feel possible at well-run franchises.

Anytime Fitness Contact FAQs
What is the fastest way to contact Anytime Fitness customer service in Australia?
The fastest way to contact Anytime Fitness is through your home club, since each of the 590+ Australian clubs is independently owned and handles membership, freezes, transfers and access issues directly. For billing questions, call Debitsuccess on 1800 917 476 (freecall) Mon–Fri 8am–6pm AEST. Use membersolutions@anytimefitness.com.au only when your club has failed to respond.
How do I cancel my Anytime Fitness membership without being charged extra?
To cancel an Anytime Fitness membership cleanly, submit the official online cancellation request form — this counts as your written notice. Allow 14 days' notice in SA and 30 days in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, TAS, NT and ACT. If you are still inside your 12 or 18-month initial term, expect an early-exit fee of around 50% of remaining dues unless you qualify for medical, hardship or relocation grounds.
Why is Debitsuccess charging me when I have already cancelled my Anytime Fitness membership?
Debitsuccess often keeps charging because cancellation was never fully processed by the club, or notice periods (14–30 days) were still running. Call Debitsuccess on 1800 917 476 to pause debits and request a refund of incorrect charges. If the club ignores you, escalate to membersolutions@anytimefitness.com.au, then AFCA for the direct debit dispute.
Can I freeze my Anytime Fitness membership, and how much does it cost?
Yes — most Anytime Fitness clubs allow freezes between 2 weeks and 3–6 months, with an admin fee of $2.50–$10 per week. Freeze requests must go through your home club, not Debitsuccess, because each franchise owner sets their own terms. If your club refuses despite documented hardship, escalate to membersolutions@anytimefitness.com.au with medical or financial evidence attached.
