Pay as you go gym breach

I've just been contacted by a company that monitors web breaches, asking if I signed up to the pay as you go gym site. Apparently plain text passwords and emails have been published. (He told me my password/email address, which is on public view)
Obviously it was through a comp, so if you have any data held on the site, (especially payment cards) it would be a good idea to change passwords quickly.

If so maybe alert MSE via: [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]0

No, it is nothing to do with MSE passwords. It is the gym website that has been hacked. Sorry I worded it ambiguously. I'll amend it.0
