New York Sports Club [NYSC] review: charged fees after I cancelled

Cancelled my membership at the NYSC, and yes I was told of the '45 day policy' where they can continue to bill you. Well they delayed processing the cancellation and charging my credit card a fee of $10. AS you can expect I was billed next months membership.
Now with only three days remaining in the '45 day period' I was billed $69.99 for an annual membership fee. Upon calling both the local club and corporporate consumer services I was told they are allow to charge anything during the '45 days' and they did - they then hung up the phone.
I have to believe the delayed processing the cancellation only to charge the annual membership fee. Complain and they hang up.
