That would depend on the fitting, and the price you paid for the bike; at least at the LBS I frequent.
You can get any bike "adjusted" to the rider for free. Put the saddle and bars at the proper height +/- 1cm and make sure the frame size, stem reach, and angle of the bars/brake hoods is comfortable... that sort of thing. You can eyeball those measurements and get someone set up in about 10 minutes including a few test laps around the parking lot. That should be the minimum gratis fitting with any bike purchase.
My LBS charges $200 for a 3 hour fit session on the power metered adjust-a-bike, with a trained fitter etc. blah blah. If you buy a bike from the shop, 50% of the fit cost is refunded against the purchase for bikes under $3000 (iirc), and 100% for bikes over that price or for custom frame orders. (Don't quote me on it, because the shop ownership just changed hands and it might be different; but the new owner worked there for 9 years so I don't think much is going to be different.)
