Was this ever settled?
I had a memberhsip with planet fitness. It had a year commitment, if I wanted to cancel before the year I would of had to pay a buy out fee. After the year I could cancel and not pay the buy out fee, but my membership kept going until I canceled it. It was all really clear to me in my agreement how the billing and cancels worked. The staff did not give me any problems when I canceled.
