Ask to see the original - they can't refuse due to data protection laws - if they refuse then they are breaking the law - if they do let you see it - just say 'That's not my signature' - that'll screw them!
Fitness First are crap - they are also rumoured to be in financial trouble and so are trying all the tricks in the book to keep money coming in!
ADDED: but, as above - if you really did sign it then you can be held accountable for the payment!

A verbal contract is legally binding, assuming the terms were proved. But you do not have a verbal contract; you have (at best) an agreement to agree. The company did not agree with you to offer you a full-time contract on specific terms if you moved to location x. You may fell that was implied, or that there was an 'understanding' that there would be an offer, but there is no binding contract enforceable in law; not least because the essential terms of the contract had not been agreed in advance (such as your rate of pay, or a start date).

You singned it your binded, But does you contract have a cancellation clause in it. If so what is the cancellation fee. Because that is only what you should be liable for not the owed membership. The cancellation fee is what they want in place of the outstanding fees. Look at the contract and let them take it to court as long as your within your contract agreement if it is signed or not ( meaning cancelling before a certain date) then you should be alright. But i am no lawyer so don't use this as the "HOLY WORD".

Ask to see a copy of the contract they hold, inspect the signature if it is yours, (and be honest, did you sign one??) then it might be legally binding and if so go to CAB who might be able to advise how to get out of it. If it is not yours threaten to go to the police and see how quickly they forget their £300. And seriously consider reporting them as it is fraud.
Step ONE get a copy of the contract, NOW

If you have not signed the copy of the contract they have then it is not binding. Period.

If you signed their copy then it is a legally binding contract, if you didn't sign their copy then it is fraudulent.

Did you sign the contract. Your copy doesn't need to be signed.
If you signed it, they have a case.

If you've never signed that copy they have and they've made it up that looks rather bad for them if you ask me. Report it to Which! for example if they really annoy you.
