60. My sister-in -law almost opened a Curves franchise,
but she took the paperwork to a lawyer who advised her not to. The contract was extremely one-sided, and she would have been committing herself to monthly payments to the corporation for years, even if her franchise folded. Given the short shelf-life of a lot of these exercise fads (anyone remember Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons gyms?) the corporate guys at the top stand to continue to make money long after the public has gone on to something else.
