As summer begins to wind down, we find ourselves in a period of reflection and preparation for the routines that lie ahead. For many, August is a transitional month, a time to savor the last moments of summer while also planning for the rest of the year.
At Pilates by the Bay, we are honored to be a part of your journey, helping you achieve your goals, both on and off the mat. Whether you’re a longtime member or new to our community, we’re here to support you in every way possible.
Nominated for Ocean County’s Best of the Best
We’re thrilled to announce that Pilates by the Bay has been nominated for Ocean County’s Best of the Best, sponsored by the Asbury Park Press, for the third year in a row! This year, we’re competing in the “Favorite Fitness Center/Gym” category, and we’re up against some tough competition from larger, franchised gyms. We need your help to stand out! Please take a moment to vote for us every day through Friday, August 30th. Your support is crucial in helping us secure our place as a finalist. Don’t forget to spread the word to your friends and family—every vote counts!
Schedule Adjustments and Labor Day Weekend
As the summer season wraps up, we’ll be making some adjustments to our class schedule. A few classes have been removed for September, but we’ve added some exciting pop-up classes for Labor Day weekend! Here’s what you need to know:
September Schedule: The new schedule begins on Sunday, September 1st. If you’re a regular, you’ve been pre-enrolled in your classes for the month. Need to make adjustments? Just let us know!
Labor Day Pop-Up Circuit Class: Join us on Monday, September 2nd for a special pop-up circuit class. Regular classes and sessions will not be held on this day, so don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to get in a great workout before the holiday festivities begin.
Welcome to Our New Parking Lot
We’re excited to share that our parking lot has been freshly paved, and we hope you’re enjoying the smooth, new surface! Thank you for your patience during the repaving process—it was well worth it.

Pilates by the Bay Out & About
We’ve been busy spreading the word about Pilates and making connections throughout the community:
- Sets Toms River Grand Opening: We were thrilled to be part of Sets Toms River’s grand opening last weekend, where we connected with many members and shared how Pilates can complement their fitness routines. If you’re curious about their hybrid group circuit training, check out their $21 for 21 days challenge or grab a three-day pass.
- Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce Networking Event: We proudly sponsored the Chamber’s networking event at Ocean View Restaurant on the Seaside Boardwalk. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet other local business owners and promote the benefits of Pilates.
- Seaside Social House Networking: We also supported a recent networking event hosted by Inspired by KChev at Seaside Social House. Mark your calendars for September 17th for Kevin’s first social event at Rosie’s Ocean Gate. We’re excited to continue building relationships and spreading the word about what Pilates by the Bay has to offer.
New Grip Socks and Special Offers
We’ve received a fresh shipment of grip socks, just in time for fall! All socks are $16 each or 2 for $30, and we have a variety of new styles available. Check out the new basket on the chair next to the restroom for styles that didn’t fit on the rack. Remember, Good Soles socks fit women’s sizes 6-10, while Tavvi, Toe Socks, and Base come in a range of sizes. Stock up and get ready for your next class!
Give the Gift of Pilates
Looking for a unique gift idea? Pilates gift cards are a thoughtful way to share the benefits of Pilates with your loved ones. Whether it’s for a birthday, special occasion, or just because, a Pilates gift card is the perfect way to introduce someone to the practice.
Thank You for Your Support
As we transition into the new season, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in our Christmas in July toy drive, sponsored by the Wingman Foundation. Your generosity has made a difference in our community, and we’re looking forward to resuming toy collections in November. In the meantime, we’ll be collecting food donations through November to support those in need in Ocean and Monmouth counties.
