It's not that hard. Just cancel your membership and request a new card from your bank.

Planet Fitness (and probably other chains now) require checking account info for memberships, no cards. On the plus side, you can actually just cancel a PF membership, no questions asked. I think their business model is that it's just so cheap nobody bothers to actually cancel. You're paying $10 a month for the right to fantasize that you're actually still a fit person.

When I moved, I had to personally go to the location I signed up because they kept losing my certified letters requesting to cancel (I was told by phone this or in person was the only way). They also make you bring a printed form when you sign up online to sign and finalize so it looks like you signed up in person to get around regulations. They are as trash as any other gym out there when it comes to gym tactics to keep people signed up.
