The best Pilates studio around! Sandra is so knowledgeable, and when you tell her of an injury or a surgery she customizes her approach and workout to best fit your needs. I've been seeing Sandra for over 5 years and highly recommend her studio for anyone's Pilates needs! read more

I've never been one for group fitness classes. I giggle uncomfortably through a yoga class once every few years just to be sure that I really don't like it. That is, until I tried Sandra's Zumba classes. Since, then I've tried a handful of Zumba instructors elsewhere, and no one even comes close to Sandra's energy, enthusiasm and welcoming nature. She's made me an addict, and I will go out of my way to attend her classes over other instructors in the area. Oh and I'm in the best shape I've been in....in a long time! read more

I started doing zumba June of 2011. I'd never done any group exercise so this was all new for me. I tried different classes, locations, and instructors. Once I started taking classes with Sandra, I started becoming more comfortable in a class setting and having a lot of fun. I was even dancing and humming songs at home. I look forward to each class and can't wait to go back if I miss one. You could say that I am addicted. It's true that it's both a party and a great workout. Sandra is my absolute favorite instructor. I live on the peninsula and go to her classes in San Francisco and on the Peninsula. Her spirit and passion is infectious and her routines are fun and keep you motivated. She is welcoming and makes you feel comfortable regardless of your skill level. She also pushes you to improve so that you can maximize your workout. I've lost 14 pounds so far and hope to update my review when I reach 25 pounds. Zumba! Come try a class with Sandra and her Zumba ZX Appeal, you'll definitely leave wanting to come back for more. read more

I am back with the need to share my wonderful news! I have been with Sanfra since she started the Zumba classes in SF! I have been so pleased with her instructions and patience! I did try other Zumba classes in nearby gyms but those do not even come close to the workout I get with Sandra. Since Oct 2010 I have lost a bit over 35lbs! fit into my jeans! Feel good and my injury on my left hand has improved! minimal pain as long as I keep going to Zumba I do not experience much pain! I have learned how to Salsa, meregue, cumbia, bachata, belly dancing, oh gee many dances but the one that gets me all the time is SAMBA! oooouch! I totally love it and I am glad I am in this regimen! read more

I hate working out. I absolutely hate it. However, I thought i'd try zumba since I love to dance and it seemed like a good alternative to the gym. Once I stepped into Sandra's class, I was hooked. She has this innate ability to make you feel welcomed and her energy is infectious. She picks great music, has fun moves and really knows how to get a class going. I always come home drenched and surprisingly, really happy and looking forward to the next class. I'm sad she's moved out of my neighborhood, but definitely intend to follow her around, when work lets up. read more

I began taking Zumba classes 2 1/2 years ago at 24 hour fitness. I fell in love with Zumba right away but at that time Zumba instructors and locations were scarce. So trying to fit my schedule into the class was difficult. Then in September of 2010 I tried Zumba with Sandra and it was great. She's a dedicated instructor who gets to know her students strengths and weaknesses and works with them to motivate and push them to the limit. She also has a positive aura and energy that radiates in the class. If you want a fun place to workout without feeling like your usual repetitive routine then try Zumba with Sandra! I'm glad I did! read more

I had done Zumba when I lived on the Peninsula - I had my favorite teacher and place I went to. I moved to the city and had to get myself organized....where go to and do Zumba? Did some google-ing & some yelping and found Sandra's class right by my office! The hours are awesome for me, Monday & Wednesday's at 7pm...so I don't have to rush after work...Monday's are pure Zumba - dancing/laughing/sweating and awesome calorie burn! Wednesday night's is Zumba toning where you use weights and it's also awesome! I had never done this before and am really enjoying it! Most of all, I really enjoy the classes with Sandra - she is really sweet, funny, high energy and keeps you going the entire time. It's actually amazing to look forward to Monday nights :) I'm so happy to have found my Zumba Fun again! read more

Sandra is unlike any pilates instructor I have gone to..... I went to my first class at the recommendation of a friend who thought my neck pain might be relieved by her Pilates instruction. One year later... due to classes and exercises she has me doing at home... My neck pain and the headaches associated with that pain... have been substantially reduced. I am so happy to have found her. read more

Sandra is so energetic and motivating that in spite of myself I became addicted to both her Pilates and Zumba classes. I have not seen the inside of a gym in years and fired my personal trainer because I simply hated exercise and hated being told what to do but the amazing Sandra has me coming 5xa week simply because I miss not working out with her and being in her company. Understatement to say best money spent. Go go go!,,, read more

I've begun taking Zumba classes since Sept 2010. Sandra the instructor is without a doubt one of the best teachers there is. She is always so full of energy and positiveness and her classes are always so much fun. When you take one of her classes you don't feel like you are actually going to workout but instead that your are going to hang out with your girls and have a good good time. Since I started taking Zumba classes with Sandra I have lost a total of 20 lbs and have my diabetes under control. I feel so much more energy now and constantly wanting to do more and more.... I can't deny it, I am addicted to this new phenomenon called Zumba and having Sandra as my instructor makes it even better! Thank you Sandra!! read more

Sandra is a miracle worker! I had some hip issues that nobody (chiropractor, physical therapist etc) had been able to solve. Sandra looks at the whole body, not just the part that is in discomfort/pain, and in knowing how everything interacts she was able to strengthen, stretch and manipulate me back to health. Her knowledge of neurokinetic therapy and of pilates is incredibly extensive and she is always learning more. I can't recommend Sandra highly enough. read more

Sandra is one of the happiest and best Zumba Fitness Instructors! Her energy and passion will inspire and motivate you. Don't miss out on one of my favorites! read more

This is the most amazing Zumba class, so full of energy and fun! Sandra is an incredible, energetic, warm, magical instructor. She obviously has been dancing forever and she is incredibly positive, providing tons of enthusiastic support to everyone in the class. I look forward to each class, and every time leave so full of happiness-- it is seriously the best thing ever. I also love the fact that we learn some really cool dance moves while doing a very intensive cardio aerobic workout. I feel fitter than ever and so lucky to have found this class!! read more

Sandra is amazing and I don't say that lightly. I've had many personal trainers, have always been strong and know when people have the ability to get to the core of your fitness needs. I have recently had joint pain and was told by my doctors to take more pain medication. After seeing Sandra after only three sessions, I can feel my body responding and am reducing my pain medication. She is really gifted and a wonderful person to boot! read more

Sandra is without a doubt one of the Bay Area's BEST Zumba instructors. She is energetic, FUN, has great music and easy to follow but HOT choreography and always has a smile on her face. You can't help but have a great time in her class. I definitely recommend that you check out one of her many Zumba classes right away!! Pura Sabrosura!!! read more

I hesitate to review Vibe 365 Fitness, because I don't want to have to compete to get into class with anyone else. But, I must because I've had so much fun with Sandra and the regulars. I'm totally new to Pilates, but I feel like I was able to pick it right up with Sandra and she is so totally open and friendly, she makes you feel like part of her family from day 1. Hopefully, I will still be able to attend her classes for the foreseeable future. read more

First of all I have to warn you about Sandra's Zumba classes. THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!!!! VERY ADDICTIVE!!!! I found zumba while looking for some type of exercise that would help me lose some weight and get toned. I really don't like going the gym and always get bored at all the aerobic classes I have gone to. Zumba ZX appeal classes are offered in the heart of downtown so I figured I would give it a try since it is very close to work and the class hours are perfect. Let me tell you that I barely finished my first class. (I don't think up to that point I have worked so hard before in 1 hour) So, I decided to go to more classes during the week. I started with 2/ week, then 3/week, then 4/week, then... Sandra can you please teach more classes in San Francisco? I don't think 4 classes per week here in SF is enough! I decided to take some other instructors' zumba classes during the days that Sandra doesn't teach here in SF and all I can say is that I wish they had half of the energy and passion that Sandra has. She makes sure you work your abs, legs, arms, calves. I have been going to zumba for about 2 months now and (quoting my husband) I have never been in such great shape before. read more

Sandra is an an amazing zumba instructor who gives 150% at every class. I go twice a week and each time, I'm drenched in sweat and full of energy after each class. Her music is great and I always look forward to going to classes every week. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Sandra and her zumba classes. First, Sandra: she is extremely positive all of the time, remembers your name after the first class, and has so much energy and enthusiasm for teaching! Her classes: super fun and upbeat, a GREAT workout, and will teach you things you want to take back to the dance clubs. read more

I started taking Pilates from Sandra in October 2013 and have been going ever since religiously 3x per week! She knows her Pilates and she understands the human body. I suffer from back problems and she has helped me tremendously!! I have been to many many different Pilates instructors and they have all been mediocre- Sandra is AMAZING- hands down the best one I have ever met!!! I used to think Pilates was not a workout and was so easy- no no no- Sandra makes sure my form is correct and that I am not using my back- very important- and it's not easy- but you feel sooooo good after. She has improved my posture, body awareness and flexibility- which was an impossible task! If you are looking for a Pilates instructor Sandra is your find! Simply the best! Side benefit is she is fun, vivacious, and super friendly!! Love my Pilates time. Maria read more

My wife began going to Sandra in June of 2011. After she was hooked, she brought me along to a few classes. As a non-dancer, I was very self-conscious on my first visit, but Sandra's instruction and the sheer energy of the class got me over that within the first 10 minutes. Sandra greets newcomers and lays down the ground rules, explaining the types of moves in the class as well as the indicators she uses to signal a new move. She is supportive and encouraging of newcomers without making them feel like their unfamiliarity is being put on display. Even in my first class, I was able to get into the flow and keep up fairly well. Sandra also points out songs with more advanced moves beforehand, and gives tips and alternatives to make sure novices don't hurt themselves. I now go to about one class a week. Each class contains 3-4 songs from previous classes, allowing repeat attendees to master specific routines, as well as a variety of new songs to keep it fresh. An hour with Sandra is a more than adequate workout, complete with a few warmup songs and a final cooldown song for stretching. I'm now going with or without prodding from my wife, which speaks to Sandra's ability to draw in zumba enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Zumba on! read more

I am in town from Boston and wanted to keep up my exercise and Zumba while traveling to SF for work. I found Sandra's class through zumba.com, read some reviews and was a little nervous to try it out as I don't know the city well. I emailed Sandra in advance and she wrote back and welcomed me to her class and greeted me each time. The class was AMAZING. She is so energetic and positive and welcoming. it was a fantastic workout and mostly a really nice way to spend time away from home. The vibe is fun and supportive and I truly hope I have a chance to dance with her again. So, one-timers, she is easy to follow, and great to be around and you will enjoy. Thanks! read more

Sandra is awesome! She knows how to dance, move and get you into the groove of her class. Her music selection is great and she really knows how to get you moving and sweating. I'm a bit on the heavy side, but love to dance and Sandra has brought out only but the best out of me. She is encouraging and once you start you can't stop. Mind you, she will work you out and you will sweat - She's amazing! Though her workouts tend to be intense, it's a good intense feeling of achievement and progress - I sleep like a baby each time I have Zumba class with Sandra. read more

Sandra is amazing! Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious and you can't help but laugh and smile with her. I truly appreciate her passion for Zumba! Her routines are easy to follow but give you a great workout. I always feel so invigorated after each class. My only Zumba experience has been with her and I am so happy she is my instructor. read more

Sandra is simply addictive! the best Zumba instructor! love her energy, movements, music selection and big smile! she is also amazing in Pilates spring board and reformer! she is teaching me total body awareness and helping me how to deal with my neck pain. read more

I've been seeing Sandra at Vibe 365 for about eight months. I had double knee replacement surgery four months ago and I first went to her to strengthen my core and legs in preparation. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only did we accomplish that with Pilates, but she is also certified in Neuro Kinetic Therapy. She was able to work on some old injuries that probably led to my needing knee replacement in the first place. Sandra tailors each session to your body's needs and she makes sure your form is perfect so the right muscles are firing and she makes sure you aren't hurting yourself. Sometimes its my neck, sometimes its my knees, but she quickly figures out what is needed and I always walk out my appointment feeling much better than when I came in. I hiked 25 miles of hills last week on my new knees and I couldn't have done that without her amazing help. I would highly recommend her! read more

Sandra's zumba class is the hightlight of my Wednesdays and Fridays. Love the mix of music, the vibe and the simple joy of dancing. It does not feel like a workout, yet at the end of the 45 min, I am always a sweaty ball of happiness. Thanks Sandra! read more

There are many wonderful things about Vibe 365 Fitness, but the best thing has got to be Sandra. I am currently 7.5 months pregnant and there's a possibility I have never felt stronger and healthier in my life. I have been doing Zumba with Sandra for almost 2 years now and although I started with 0 rhythm and a good deal of frustration, I quickly learned it was all about having fun! I'm still doing Zumba but since pregnant I have been doing Pilates Springboard classes and Pilates personal training with Sandra. Sandra is the perfect mix of that trainer who pushes you but supports you. With Pilates I have felt so much more confident throughout my pregnancy and less anxious about the birth. I have recommended many friends and everyone loves Sandra! And I have also met so many nice people that love to dance, be healthy and laugh. Drop by for a zumba class and join our super fun Vibe 365 family, you'll definitely want to keep coming back! read more
