If it was me, I'd send them a registered letter saying "I hereby cancel my membership, and will be liable for no further debt" or some such thing.
After that, If they try to collect again, I would tell them to go do something anatomically impossible, and then promptly find something to take them to court (small claims) over...
In short, once you send that registered letter, prove to them that you will be WAY more a pain in the arse than it's worth to them.
I'm not a lawyer, but somehow I doubt that a "you must cancel in person, and we won't accept a registered letter" clause will hold up in court.. even small claims. Of course, I could be wrong... (like THAT ever happens....).
OR... if you REALLY want to up the game...
Send them a dismembered pigs head (from your local slaughterhouse), unrefrigerated, with the "I quit my membership" note nailed to the skull with a 10 penny nail.
No threats... Just nailed to a pigs head.
Just showing them that it's REALLY REALLY not worth it to pursue any more dues from you.
(Might want to think this idea through a bit... as it MAY just be misconstrued by the local law enforcement.... you know... if none of the officers in that jurisdiction have been screwed by that Gym.... )
