Commission approves "Barre with Babes" outdoor fitness class at Kinderberg Park
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved an outdoor fitness event proposed by local clinic owner Monica Bridal to run a parent-and-child barre class at Kinderberg Park on a proposed June date; organizer will collect participant fees and be treated as an independent instructor.
The Germantown Parks & Recreation Commission voted to allow a local instructor to host a fee-based outdoor fitness event at Kinderberg Park.
Monica Bridal (speaker 5), who said she owns a physical therapy clinic in Germantown and lives in town, proposed a family-friendly "barre with babes" event where parents can exercise while children play. She said she hopes the class will run on June 20 at 9 a.m. and that a modest participation fee ("something like that, $10–15") would help with attendance and perceived value.
Director (speaker 4) explained the reason the item came to the commission is that the organizer would collect fees directly and thus be treated as an independent instructor under village policy. Trustee (speaker 2) moved to approve the request and staff member (speaker 6) seconded; the commission voted in favor.
What the approval means: Bridal may hold the event at Kinderberg Park as an outside instructor, collect a small participant fee and coordinate directly with Parks & Rec staff on logistics and minimal permitting/fee arrangements the department requires. Bridal said she was willing to seek sponsorship to offset participant costs.
Next steps: organizer to coordinate event details with Parks & Rec staff and confirm date and any required permits or insurance.
