Get a same-day doctor’s note for gym membership cancellation, delivered to your email inbox within just a few hours.
If a medical issue is preventing you from exercising safely, you may be able to cancel or temporarily freeze your gym membership. Most gyms and fitness centres require a doctor’s note to support requests related to illness, injury, or other health-related limitations.
At Merlin Health, we provide same-day doctor’s notes specifically for gym membership cancellations and freezes. Each request is reviewed by a UK-registered doctor, and your certificate clearly explains the medical reason, how it affects your ability to train, and includes a clinician’s recommendation on exercise restrictions.
The process is fully online — no GP appointments and no waiting rooms. Simply complete our online health form, and a doctor will review your request and issue your note the same day, where appropriate.
Our online process is quick and straightforward, here’s how it works:
Tell us about your medical situation and how it affects your ability to exercise safely.
A qualified doctor reviews your information to determine whether a medical note is appropriate.
If approved, your medical certificate is issued and sent to your email within just a few hours.

Here’s what you can expect from our medical certificate for gym membership cancellation:
A doctor’s note for gym membership cancellation is a medical letter that explains why a health condition or injury limits your ability to use the gym. You can use it to request that your membership is cancelled or paused, depending on your gym’s policy.
With Merlin Health, the process is simple:
Complete our online medical questionnaire
A doctor reviews your information
Your medical letter is sent to your email (within just a few hours)
Many gyms will consider a cancellation or pause request for health reasons when you provide a medical letter. Your letter should clearly explain how your condition affects gym use and include a doctor’s recommendation.
After you submit your questionnaire, a doctor reviews your information. If everything is clear, your letter is issued and emailed to you. If more detail is needed, we’ll contact you.
In all cases, you’ll receive your letter the same day after review. Delivery is by email.
Your medical letter typically includes:
A statement describing how your condition affects gym use
A doctor’s recommendation
Doctor details for verification (including GMC number)
A QR code to validate authenticity
You’ll complete a health questionnaire about your symptoms, condition or injury, and how it impacts your ability to exercise. This helps the reviewing doctor write an accurate letter.
Most gyms will review a doctor’s letter, but every provider has its own policy. We recommend checking your gym’s terms for “medical cancellation” or “health-related pause” and whether they accept private medical letters.
At Merlin Health, we provide same-day doctor’s notes for gym membership cancellations at a fee of £49.
All letters are issued by a GMC-registered doctor following a review of your questionnaire.
If the doctor is unable to issue a letter after review, you’ll be offered a full refund.
If the doctor needs clarification, we may contact you by email (and sometimes phone) to request additional details before completing your letter.
If you have special requirements (for example, your gym needs specific wording), email us at info@merlinhealth.co.uk
