Best Pilates

Purring Parrot

Pilates by the Bay

Owners Maria and Patrick Brinson decided to open up a place for feline and avian companions, because they noticed that the level of service for dogs has grown, while cats and birds have been left behind. It’s for pet owners that may not want a sitter coming into their home or may want their animal companions to have more than one or two short visits a day. They felt they could not only offer more than what is currently available but also raise the level of care for cats and birds when staying away from home.

Pilates by the Bay, a fitness and wellness Pilates studio in the heart of Point Loma at Liberty Station, NTC. They are conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and the bay. Come in and pamper yourself with a Pilates session before or after work, shopping, or recreation or while your children are attending one of the various classes at NTC. Their clients are trained on topof-the-line, state-of-the-art Stott Pilates equipment. The staff is personable, friendly and certified to design an individualized fitness program specific you.
