I should have known that with you, Alex, it couldn't be something so straightforward as you bought a membership from your local gym.

I only received the membership transfer form from the seller, who signed-off his membership to me. I brought this form to my local Ballys and they took my photo and issued a membership card in my name. I never received the actual contract that was made into the seller's name. The contract/membership was made all the way in 1979.

Can I at least make some flyers expressing my opinion on how Ballys ripped me off and distribute them to pedestrians 4 feet away from the Ballys doors?
