The jury is still out. I need a little more clarification of the contract. If I am reading it correctly, it may only need a 30 day notice and you are free of the contract. It may very well be that they just do not want to handle the billing and financial aspect of things and are simply jobbing it out.
If that is the case I would feel a lot better about it and would be willing to sign on as I do not really want to leave in the first place. Its just that I have been burned before with a health club and have friends who were burned by MA clubs. I am just being cautious.

It definately pays to be informed and cautious! It really comes down to doing business with someone honest and reputable. I have heard of people also getting burned by clubs that don't use contracts.
I think it is important to have several options. Although we use contracts we also have other membership options for students that don't want to make a long term committment. I don't believe in trying to force someone to train or to be there that doesn't want to be. The students that do want to make the committment can make an agreement and get a less expensive rate but thats totally their choice. We explain the options, the pro's and con's, and let them choose.
I try and always look at things from the students viewpoint when i design our programs and memberships, etc...
