Vorrei disdire l'abbonamento.

I'd like to cancel my membership.

Pronunciation

Stress 'dis-DI-re'. 'Abbonamento' = ab-bo-na-MEN-to.

When to use it

Use this formally at reception when you wish to cancel your gym membership. Be prepared for a notice period and possible cancellation conditions.

What it means

'Disdire' = to cancel (a subscription or booking). This is the specific term for cancelling ongoing contracts. 'Annullare' is used for one-off bookings. Many Italian gyms require 30 days written notice ('disdetta scritta').

Mini Dialogue

— Vorrei disdire l'abbonamento. — Mi dispiace sentire. Può dirmi il motivo? — Mi trasferisco in un'altra città. — Capisco. Ha bisogno di dare trenta giorni di preavviso e compilare questo modulo.

Cultural Note

Italian consumer law ('Codice del Consumo') protects gym members from automatic renewals without explicit consent. Since 2022, gyms are required to send a renewal reminder. Cancellations sent by registered letter ('raccomandata') provide legal proof.
