24/7 Fitness & unfrozen account
Hi MSE-ers - does anyone else belong to 24/7 Fitness? They stopped taking payments in March in response to the first lockdown, and I then froze my direct debits in late July / August when they emailed to warn me they would be starting taking subs again.

Choosing a bike
I'm hoping to get a bike through my employer's Cycle to Work scheme. It's the Halfords scheme but also includes independent retailers and I'd rather support independents.

Fitness First insisting on charging for notice period despite notice being given while closed
I attempted to end my Fitness First membership during lockdown, on 25th June by sending a direct message on Twitter. Given that they weren't answering phone calls and the gym (and the building containing the gym) was closed, this seemed like a reasonable approach. They aren't arguing that I didn't give notice on that date…
