When Planet Fitness charges you
Planet Fitness bills two separate charges: monthly dues on your regular billing date, and a separate annual fee (about $49 at most clubs) that is NOT charged on your join anniversary — for new members it's typically billed roughly eight weeks after you join, then on that same date every year after. That off-cycle annual fee is the classic "why did Planet Fitness charge me twice" moment. Exact timing can vary by club, so treat your membership agreement as the authority.

If neither shows it, ask your home club directly — billing is handled per-club and they can read the exact dates off your account

Can you change your Planet Fitness billing date?
Not yourself — there's no self-serve setting for either date. Your home club may adjust the monthly draft date if you ask in person, but the annual-fee date is set by your agreement. The blunt workaround is cancelling and rejoining on the day you want, though rejoining can mean a new startup fee, so ask the club first.

Charged by Planet Fitness unexpectedly?
If it's roughly $49 and off your normal cycle, it's almost certainly the annual fee — check your agreement's annual-fee date. If you already cancelled and got charged, remember Planet Fitness needs the cancellation processed before your billing date (dues) or before the annual-fee date; bring your cancellation confirmation to the club, and dispute with your bank if they won't reverse it.
Never get surprised by a renewal again. Skycopia watches your bank feed and nudges you before each renewal date — including annual fees that land months off your usual cycle.
