So to preface, I work at a company that is big on fitness and many of my coworkers - myself included - are personal trainers, yoga instructors, so forth whatnot outside of our collective job.  We receive a monthly stipend to go workout wherever we want.
 
I was invited by a coworker to attend a training session that is led by another coworker who is a personal trainer.  The PT is charging everyone $15 to attend and we are allowed to use our stipend to go.  I’m not losing any money by attending but I don’t want to “pay” for something that I can quite literally do myself.  I too am a personal trainer and furthermore, I feel like I wouldn’t charge my coworkers to do a workout with me, let alone $15 per person.

I have told the coworker who invited me that I may be busy that day so there hasn’t been any confrontation but AITA for even thinking that the PT is kind of tactless and not wanting to go?
