Stop fitness-club promotional mail without account changes

Ask the club to stop promotional postcards and flyers, and say in the same message that you are not asking for any change to your membership. If you also want to cancel, that is a separate step under the club's own terms.

By Junk Mail Magic. Updated October 2, 2026.

Ask for the postcards only

Note the club name, the location and the name and address on the postcard. A chain may run several sites under one brand.
Ask the club, through its official site or front desk, where postal marketing preferences are handled.
Request that promotional postcards and flyers stop, and state that dues, billing and contract terms should stay as they are.
Ask the club to confirm whether this request affects any account or policy notices it mails.

If you are also leaving the club

Cancel through the club's own cancellation process and follow its terms. A mail request should not stand in for cancellation. After the membership ends, you can send a separate promotions request that gives the date your membership ended.

If a postcard comes from a company other than the club you wrote to, such as a partner offer, contact that company as its own sender.

Sample request to a fitness club

Example for your own use. Replace the bracketed details and review what you share.

Hello. Please stop promotional postcards and mailers sent to [name as printed] at [mailing address], [club location]. I am not requesting any change to my membership, billing or contract. Please tell me whether this affects any account notices, and if postal marketing is handled elsewhere, where to send this request.

Next step

If you are keeping the membership, send only the promotions request below. If you are leaving, finish cancellation first, then adapt the request by replacing the membership line with the date your membership ended.
