My name is Sandra Gavilondo. I reside in Albuquerque NM and enjoy helping people overall. I am a wife,mother,grandmother,daughter and friend. I have 3 children(Sebastian 24,Cesar 23 & Crystal 19) and 2 grandkids (Angel 5 and Adriano 3).I work in the daytime Monday thru Friday in an office job, which means I didn't get much excercise. I had purchased the ZUMBA videos about 5 years ago and enjoyed them very much but I lacked motivation.So eventually they were stored away where all my other fitness videos went in a box. About 9 months ago I was very depressed I was at my alltime high weight 198 Lbs. That's the last time I weighed myself because I was embarrased with my ownself. I was at a family gathering and my brother kept on with the teasing and eventually I broke down, in tears I yelled at my brother but more than anything I was yelling at myself "How could I had let it get so bad?" I went 3months without speaking to my brother because of how hurt I was. My son Sebastian introduced me to Healthy People and I began using products. I noticed a diffrence in about 2 weeks, not sure how much weight I lost but I noticed my clothes fit better. At this place they had a free ZUMBA class so I went and I was hooked. I'm now 160Lbs and went from a size 15/16 to a size 9/10. I'm extatic and want everyone to join me in being happier and healthier.

    "I love Zandra's Zumba!!! It's a fun and awesome way to get in shape, I've been doing zumba with sandra for about seven months and i love it.. she's very energetic, positive and a really nice instructor...i've done zumba at other places and didn't like the instructors because they don't motivate you and they were pretty boring but sandra pushes you to give it you're all...I highly recommend to try her classes you're gonna love the environment and you're gonna have lots of fun dancing and sweating those pounds away!!"

    "I wasn't ever really into dance exercise but my wife has been doing it for a while. I decided to give it a try and even though I usually just see a bunch of women doing it can actually be fun and I can see where the cardio and toning come from. I highly recommend Sandras class for anyone looking for a great instructor, she will get you where you want to be."

    "Hmm zumba zumba zumba, welp I've been doing zumba as a student w sandra for almost a year now until she became an Instructor.. I instruct in the same studio as well...but I do gotta say if it weren't for sandra in zandra's zumba, I would deffinitely not pull through w my classes. If I had the opportunity to move along w zumba somewhere else, I can guarantee I wouldn't take a step w/o Sandra. As gaby,Sebastian and Martha said, w Sandra in the room everything is based on fun,laughs, energy, SWEAT(: party!!. If u join, I can promise, u will not regret it. "

    "Started zumba fitness at Zandra Dance Fitness after trying another zumba business. I was so happy with the class and Sandra. I was so clumsy but she made the class easy for beginners and challenging for the more experiened zumba students. That was 2(?) years ago and now because of her I can go to any zumba class and know moves and keep up to what the instructors are doing. She is a great instructor and person, love her!! "
