Do you think that I can sue them in the small claims court? This "home" club to my membership happens to be all the way in the state of Washington.

It seems that they have sold 171 clubs to LA Fitness and now there are at least 2 class action lawsuits going on. My account on Ballys website tells me that I should check my account on LA Fitness website, but once I get there, it says that my membership is not valid.

This is the type of membership that was paid in full, with $0.00 monthly dues and transferred to my name.
