How To Cancel Fitness First

• Fitness First

Founded in 2008, Fitness First was a Maryland-based gym franchise created to give individuals a comfortable and motivating space to pursue their health goals. Peter Harvey, who acted as both CEO and President, helped launch the brand’s first location in Silver Spring. It eventually expanded to serve nearby cities such as Bethesda and Frederick. The gym’s focus was on more than just exercise; it aimed to foster personal growth and self-confidence. Fitness First gyms featured modern equipment such as ellipticals, treadmills, free weights, and resistance tools. Members could choose from self-guided workouts or participate in training programs. Fitness First offered a combination of small group classes, Personal Training sessions, and specialty programs. Group classes remained small in size to ensure that every participant received attention from the instructor. The classes helped build community while keeping fitness fun and structured. Programs like Yoga and Zumba were especially popular. Personal Training offered an individual approach. Members first met with a trainer to discuss their health history and future goals. Based on that discussion, the trainer developed a personalized plan and helped guide the client during each session. In 2013, Fitness First was acquired by Gold’s Gym. With some locations closing and others rebranding, many former members found it difficult to cancel their memberships. To simplify this process, we’ve outlined a cancellation guide on this page. It includes all the steps, contact information, and documentation you’ll need.
