There is something you can do, as long as you nor the Mrs are already known by the health spa:
1. To do this you must speak to the manager directly - nobody else will be able to help
2. You or the wife need to call the centre and ask to speak to manager. If not about, ask when they will be on duty and call back
3. Explain that you live in Manchester (or somewhere that ROKO don't have a gym) and that due to your job, your are being relocated to the local area for a 6 month period. You can throw in the possibility of being extended for longer in the area but your Employer has indicated an intial 6 months guaranteed.
4. Explain that going to the gym is an important part of your lifestyle (or something that makes it sound like you're serious) and ask if there is a way you can sign up a member but only have a 6 month contract. Obviously butter them up with comments like "If I know I'll be extended to stay on, then I'll obviously let you know ASAP" or "I was recommended to speak to ROKO as you have fantastic facilities - wish you had a gym where I currently live" and "hope you understand that I want to keep my healthy lifestyle up, just can't commit for a year's membership when I might go back home and a 70 miles round trip to York is a little too far" (if you choose the 'I'm from Manchester' route)
Now just pray that Roko's manager isn't a FISO fan
