    Did you tender payment via a credit card? If yes, then they can still keep initiating payments and your card issuer will keep paying them.

    I know its no help here but excercise is free and most gym memberships are an un-necceasry expense.

    Just get your bike out of the garage and ride it.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Bad spelling would have put me off using their service right from the start - I know, I know, but if an organisation's website is so badly put together then what level of care and commitment do they offer their clients?
    Have you cancelled January's payment now OP?

    I go to make a dummy purchase and it states:
    .


    They do sort of contradict themselves by calling it a "Contract agreement" and then by saying "No contract" :p.

    BUT the tick box would have been selected on purchase and indicates that you are happy with the price, the rolling terms , the services provided.

    It is clear that when they say "no contract" they mean that you are not obliged to complete the whole term IF YOU CANCEL ON TIME. Sadly, that is actually a fairly favourable term for the consumer! It is people like you who aim to upset such favourable terms for the rest of us :p

    Poorly designed website with not much in the way of Ts and Cs, but in your scenario you are trying to mop up your own mistake through use of a technicality. You haven't actually been wronged! You just forgot to cancel it on time :) Accept your own failings and learn from them.

    (purchases at the venue would be more likely to have Ts and Cs provided, either verbally or in a durable form. You may or may not have signed a document too)

    Wow, first and last time on here, if I would have wanted the website publicised I would have done it myself.

    The reason the words on the website are being dissected is to show you exactly what you signed up for. As others have said, you simply left it too late to cancel December and you therefore have no legal consumer right to seek a refund simply because you won't be going.

    Harsh but true.
