With over 25 years of professional wellness experience and 15 years of classical ballet, tap and jazz training, Sandi brings a unique blend of experience and methodology to her fitness coaching. Dating back to high school, she was one of the few females seen in the strength training room. As an early strength training enthusiast with a competitive dance training background, Sandi qualified in Los Angeles for a spot in a prestigious New York competition at age 18. These early physical demands, scrutinization of "proper form", and development of CORE strength, created a sense of innate kinesiology in Sandi. This distinctive combination of early strength training and ballet is what sets her apart as a fitness coach. Clients of Sandi’s have testified to her passion in helping them become the best version of themselves, and also how they've witnessed her expertise. Her process of enhancing quality of movement begins with identifying imbalances in strength and flexibility, followed by creating individualized programs and progressions that dramatically impact her clients’ lives. Her achievements have been noted by the American Council on Exercise (ACE Fit For Life) and San Diego Magazine’s Best of San Diego. Although Sandi holds multiple certifications, she maintains her primary national certification as Personal Trainer through ACE, one of the few fitness certifications NCCA accredited. She is also a practitioner of Applied Functional Science certified through The Gray Institute and was among the first to become a Master Trainer for BOSU Integrated Balance. She is a member of IDEA Fitness Association, having assisted over 20 years at the IDEA World Fitness Convention and travels the world a few times year offering fitness retreats with Fitness Pro Travel. You could say Sandi was an early fitness professional. In high school, she was asked to be a student teacher for aerobics and leading the dance team for a year while the teacher was on a leave of absence. Sandi started strength training at age 16, had an early business career, then began her structured fitness education in her late 20's. And throughout raising 2 children with her husband, plus life's ups and downs, she continues to walk the walk of wellness herself. Although fitness has always been a part of her life, she knows how starting an exercise program can be a life-changing experience. Sandi has helped transform many people, and she would love the opportunity to do that for you!
