Gym Company is a ripp of- STAY AWAY!!!

Signed up for the Gym company and a month later I wanted to terminate the contract coz I had just list my job and wasn't gonna be able to pay for it. They told me u should get somebody to take my place (so that they can ripp them off too) or pay the expensive cancellation fee, though I told them I don't have that kind of money (I don't work now). I contacted my cousin only to find her mom was ********** too by the same Gym Company. My advise is, just away from signing any contracts with these ****** and always read the fine print before signing anything.
