I was reading another person's frustration with the whole Ballys gym which was sold to LAFitness some years ago. I too had a lifetime Ballys gym membership that was transferred to me from my parents back in the 1990's. They originally purchased this membership from Holiday Spa in the 1970's. I kept the membership active by paying my annual fee of $24 until I heard that Ballys was going out of business and phone calls were not being returned when I inquired about my membership. I tried numerous times and got no where. They would either have a voicemail or someone would take my name and I never received a return call. I honestly didn't know who else to call. I even went so far as to go to my local LA Fitness gym 2-3 times speaking to different managers and got nowhere. They said the membership wasn't being honored or they would look into it and never get back to me. I also called LA Fitness and kept getting the run around. It was a joke. I even wrote a letter and nothing! At the time my mom was sick and dying then had I a major car accident and I didn't have the time to keep pursuing this issue but it has always bothered me. It's wrong what they did. I am wondering if I have any recourse or if there was a class action suit ever raised? Id love some advice. Thank you. Liz
