Freezing your contract is a ****!!!

I requested a freeze on my gym contract due to the move to level 3 and until further notice and was told it's a max of 6 months however I can call to remove the freeze sooner. Then I was told my contract will be extended by 6 months, fine no problem. But then I'm told I must pay 50% fee for the freeze????!!! How does that make sense so ultimately I'm paying an additional 3 months gym subscription???? How can I be charged for services I am not using?? There is a new virus that has surfaced the pandemic is getting worse!!! You are cheating your members by taking extra Money from them!!!
