Moving, pregnancy and the like: quitting the gym prematurely - there are these options

If you can no longer train in your gym, the contract can be terminated prematurely in some cases. You can find out what circumstances authorize you to terminate the contract below.

Gym: contract termination only in special circumstances

Basically, you can only escape your contract if you can under no circumstances continue to use the offers of the fitness studio as usual. This is the case with the following scenarios:

• If the studio significantly reduces its training offer, changes its premises or changes the training concept significantly, termination is possible. The latter applies, for example, if a gym only allowed women when the contract was signed, but now also allows access to men.
• You can also quit in the event of illness if the illness is chronic and severely limits you when exercising. However, it must not have been known when the contract was signed - the fitness studio can ask for a certificate if in doubt.

Gym contract: Here the termination becomes difficult

• Pregnancy is not a 100% guarantee for the termination of the contract: If you do not significantly hamper the respective stage during training, you will not be able to get out of the contract. However, some studios offer to freeze the contract during pregnancy.
• If you move to another city for work reasons, the contract cannot simply be terminated because you cannot continue to use the offer based on external circumstances, but on your own decision.
