Can I legally get out of this contract with National Fitness?

I purchased a membership at a gym in Chapel Hill, NC (contract is handled by National Fitness). We signed the contract in Jan, and in Feb moved to Mebane (about 24 miles away). I requested to cancel contract through the then-general manager of gym, who said she'd do a manager override (b/c per the contract, it must be a 30mi relocation in order to cancel). Long story short, that never happened, when I called back I was told she no longer worked for the gym anymore, and was sent to a regional manager, who sent my request to cancel to their corporate office, and they told me I had to take it up with National Fitness. After many calls to National Fitness explaining the situation, they say they there is no way I can get out of the contract, nor is there a buyout. Anything I can do legally?
