Rossman is on form. A delightful rant about his experiences with gyms. And his promotion of privacy.com and their virtual credit card numbers that he can cancel remotely.

Well i'm from Germany. You can't just stop paying and they can't force you to listen to their pleas.

A simple informal email is enough to cancel most anything.

You can always get back money that was withdrawn from your bank account (probably a SEPA thing) and as long as payments are in dispute (you have to disagree with wrong invoices in writing) they can't charge you extra.
