Some banks "force re-open" the account to honor the check while some deny the check. The banks that "force re-open" go with the philosophy that they have more to gain from NSF fees and they have your info for collections. Shady business by banks.
Not only that, but some gyms are infamous for sending old accounts that were/should have been closed to collections, which puts a black mark on your credit record. You should always be proactive when cancelling a gym membership.
