In 1984, I joined 24 hour fitness, the company was going to move into another location near to my home, they changed their mind and becase of that 24 hr gave me a ID Card and told me that this card was a LIFE TIME MEMBERSHIP,I would not have to pay any futher dues or cost, I have recently tried many timest get a new membership card and the company will not respond to my request, I have contacted the local manager, the district manager and some other person that the company directed me to with no replay and a 7 month delay to my original request

Every week we get people who "were told" this or that by some health club. If you didn't get it in writing, what you "were told" means nothing.

Although a contract may be express or implied, oral contracts must be reduced to writing to be valid if the agreement is not to be performed within a year. A lifetime membership would require performance outside of one year.

What happened between 1984 and now? Have you continued to use your lifetime membership with no issues? When did you first request the new card? Did the old card always work? Did you ever pay any additional dues?

More information is needed.

Bryan
