Ballys Fitness I am my mothers sole provider and caretaker.... shortly after I joined Bally's my mother had bad stroke and I had to give all of my spare time after work tending to her... This was not planned and there was no way for me to attend Ballys as I had planned due to the fact that my home was 30 or more miles from my work and where I joined Ballys. I could not go to Ballys and tend to my mother as well.. Pineville North Carolina

This happened to someone in MI, and it was all over the news. Someone in this lady's family was diagnosed with cancer, and she had only had the membership for 30 days and never used it once. She was in the same spot as you, had to spend all her extra time and money helping out, and she tried to cancel the contract but they wouldn't let her. She called a local news station, and they were able to get Bally's to cancel the contract for no cost.

Bally's is also in the middle of a lawsuit right now, for contract issues I believe. They don't want anymore bad press.
