Why certified mail matters

Creating a documented paper trail

"But they said in-person only..."

Some gyms have restrictive cancellation requirements. Sending a certified letter creates documented proof that you submitted a written cancellation request.

Documented proof of delivery

USPS Certified Mail creates an official USPS record of delivery. It's not just a tracking number — it's documentation that can support a chargeback dispute with your bank.

What if they keep charging?

If YMCA continues billing after delivery, we provide a documentation kit — your delivery proof, cancellation letter, and supporting records — organized to present to your bank for a chargeback dispute.

Have a qualifying life event?

Many gyms waive early termination fees for members with qualifying circumstances. If any of these apply to you, you may be able to cancel without penalty:
