Cancel your credit card. They may or may not decide to bring an action against you for the balance of your contract, but it is highly unlikely that they pursue it.

Yes. You should read NY General Obligations Law section 624. This is a statute concerning health clubs and rights of cancellation. The statute is too long to reprint in this answer.
