Has anyone dug into the legality of fining franchisees $1000.00 for not being able to attend a convention that will cost at least $2000.00 to attend?

You know, if you do the math, it's cheaper to stay at home!

Oh, I agree, but I was thinking about this last night -- if someone here is going and agrees to be the representative for other members' gyms, would not that be abiding the Corporate's "rule" that if the owner cannot attend he/she must send at least 1 representative for their club? I'd gladly pay someone $100.00 to be my club's representative and then that person could relay information to me that he/she learns at the conference.
Thoughts?

I also still question the legality of corporate charging that as well. In today's digital age, why is not the conference live-streamed so all could attend?

VF - That's a great idea. I don't see any way I'm going to make it. Having someone else in my stead would be perfect. I don't know why that person couldn't represent multiple clubs.
Additionally, exactly what requirement is there for the person who's sent? Do they have to attend X number of events, or is it simply that they check in and pick up their materials?

Per the email they just sent out on this:
"One representative per club is required to attend"
Who here is going?

I too need a rep.
If determined that one person can rep. Several of us, I will also pay them $100 fee.

That's a great idea! I'm not going to be able to make it either. I would gladly pay someone a $100 to go in my place.

Pay the $99 registration fee and not show up. "I got lost".."I have a gambling problem".."I got held up at the buffet table" It's a $99 gamble.
