Is a contract effective if a gym did not give me a copy of the contract or a receipt?
Is it illegal that the gym did not inform me, the consumer, the proper action that I have to do in order to cancel my contract other than, “We’ll take care of it”?

If you signed a written contract for the gymnasium you were entitled to get a copy of it. Many states have certain laws where a consumer such as you can cancel the contract without recourse within three days of signing the contract.
If you want to cancel your contract, I suggest that you get a copy of it and then see if there is a three day cooling off period within. If so, and you want to cancel it, I would start the three day period running from the date you get it in hand.
