and before you shoot off your mouth that I DON'T know what I am talking about, I have been a faithful Bally member for 14 years. I do NOT believe that YOUR contract states happens to state that if you are not located within 30 miles of the facility you signed up in that they would refund your money. Their contracts aren't written like that in specifics, but nice try. Stop lying and get someone to read your contract if you're that uncapable. The 9 of the 11 of the women who complained are those people the regular members hate to see because typically at the first of the year everyone wants to get fit because of a New Year's resolution. So they sign up for fitness contract, it doesn't have to necessarily be Bally's, it could be any club. Then after about 2-3 weeks, they don't see the results, they get bored with it or thy don't commit because it does take that dedication to see results. Fortunately for the regular members, these quitters stop going and the club is again not crowded in February. That should prove I am not an idiot employee like you state in your OP. It is almost a virtual impossibility to get out of these fitness contracts and that's why they write them the way they do and stay in business to serve us DEDICATED customers. So these people who cannot commit will do everything they can to get out of the contract, which is almost impossible to do. I am not buying for one minute that you didn't know you would be moving. Hogwash! Furthermore that's seems really a really stupid idea to join a club, given the fact you would be moving. Sorry lady, I DON'T feel your pain!
