How to Cancel ClassPass and Save Your Credits (2026 Guide)

Updated 2026-02-16 · 5 min read

ClassPass charges $49-$159/month for fitness class credits. The problem? Unused credits don't roll over forever, the credit system is deliberately confusing, and pausing your membership has a hidden catch. Here's how to cancel properly.

⚠️ The Credit Trap

ClassPass credits expire. If you don't use them within the rollover window (usually 1 month of carryover), they vanish. A $99/month plan where you only attend 2 classes means you're paying $50/class — more than drop-in rates at most studios.

How to Cancel ClassPass

You cannot cancel through the app. ClassPass requires you to cancel through their website:

  1. Go to classpass.com/account/membership
  2. Sign in to your account
  3. Scroll down and click Cancel Membership
  4. ClassPass will offer to pause instead — read the fine print before accepting
  5. Select your cancellation reason
  6. Confirm cancellation
⚠️ The Pause Trap

When you try to cancel, ClassPass will offer to "pause" your membership for free. Sounds great, right? The catch: pausing auto-resumes after the pause period (usually 1-3 months). If you forget, you'll start getting charged again. If you truly want to cancel, don't accept the pause offer.

Alternatives to ClassPass

💰 Before You Cancel: Use Your Credits

Check your credit balance right now. If you have credits expiring, book every class you can this week. After cancellation, those credits are gone forever. Book the expensive classes first (hot yoga, cycling, pilates) to maximize value.
