Pilates Story — Attraction in San Francisco

I can’t say enough great things about this Pilates studio! I have tried many studios in San Francisco and this is definitively the best! I've been coming to Pilates Story for years now and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness. Hye-Yeon, the owner, has done an incredible job creating a welcoming space in West Portal. As a guy, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Pilates at first, but she and her team made me feel completely comfortable from day one. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and know how to challenge you while still respecting your limits.

What I really appreciate is how Hye-Yeon is building a sense of community here. It’s not just about getting a great workout (which you definitely will), but also about connecting with people and feeling like you’re part of something bigger. The studio is clean, modern, and has all the equipment you need for a solid session. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have some experience, this is the place to be.

If you're a guy thinking about trying Pilates, I highly recommend giving this studio a shot. It’s an awesome way to build strength, improve flexibility, and stay balanced—plus, you’ll feel right at home with the friendly atmosphere Hye-Yeon has created in the...

It has been a life changing experience! My core is now SO much stronger. I remember one day, after I'd been going for some months, I was lying on my sofa, thinking that my underwear was too tight. Then I realized I wasn't wearing any and that I was feeling MUSCLES in my abs. That was a first in my entire life and I'm 63!

What is best about the teachers there, is that they really know how to work with your individual needs. At 63, I have all sorts of issues to work around (knees, shoulders, back, etc) and Hye Yun always takes a survey of how I'm doing and, on the spot, customizes my workout to maximize strength work, and minimize any...
