it will come out on there system when your membership is due to expire, and that will be in direct relation to when you made the payment.. it will be a year after that, the contract that you signed wont matter too much (especially because your not on any sort of direct debit system) you'll have to pay another fee when your year is up (if you want to stay at the gym). In the contract it will say 1 year membership paid up front and a starting date. your membership will expire 1 year after this date.. sorry you wont get a longer membership
