SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — This picturesque beachfront city plans to start charging fitness trainers who use its parks as gymnasiums after months of complaints from residents that commercial classes are crowding out picnickers and others from Santa Monica’s public spaces.
The City Council voted 5-1 Tuesday night to approve an ordinance requiring the fees, with prices to be determined by the number of people enrolled in a particular class. Fees will start at several hundred dollars.
The ordinance also bans exercise classes on Sundays from Santa Monica’s signature Palisades Park with its stunning oceanfront views.
