A few years ago I tried to cancel my long standing membership at shapes. I had that membership for probably about 5 years all through university and afterwards. I went through hell trying to cancel my membership - harrassment and threats to send collection agencies after me...you know, the usual tactics and this is how they treated one of their "valued members" so since then I've been joining for three months at a time when I want to (because I do like the classes) and I pay in full up front because I will NEVER so bi-weekly installments where I have to give 30 days notice to cancel. So, I went in today to sign up for 3 months and she told me that there was a "new law and the government changed the rules and they can't accept payment in full for memberships anymore"! This is a laughable new low for an already sketchy organization. So I walked out...I even asked about this "new" legislation and where i could find a copy and of course she didn't have a clue. Just thought I would warn people that you no longer have any other options with shapes. You will have to give your banking information and go through hell trying to cancel your memberships    -
