I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

gym won't let me cancel membership. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 16 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $42,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Final update on my case: settled for the full amount I demanded, plus they covered my filing costs. Total time from demand letter to settlement: 6 weeks. The key was having a well-documented demand with specific legal citations and a clear deadline. They knew I would follow through.
