Club Reduce

I bought an incredibly affordable deal off groupon for 3 herbal body wraps and it was a wonderful experience! Sandy is super nice, knowledgeable and instantly helps you feel at home/​comfortable as she administers the wrap. I definitely noticed my skin looking tighter, more firm and even younger in appearance. I would love more treatments! Well worth it!

I don’t know where to start. All of the 1 star reviews of this place are accurate. It was awful. Really, really awful. I am actually embarrassed I went. I purchased a Groupon for one body wrap with Sandi. This is how it went… Sandi put me in a dark room and said «Nobody wants to be measured in bright lights». I found that odd, standing in a room in the dark. I realized later it was so that I wasn’t able to read the measuring tape. It was like she was a magician, moving around me swiftly, trying to distract me with conversation and jokes so I didn’t have a chance to see my measurements. She wrapped me in plastic wrap — kitchen plastic wrap. I lay on a table in the dark for «30 minutes». I swear I was lying there for an hour and contemplated a couple of times whether I should get up and just leave. I felt like one of Dexter’s victims. Anyway, she remeasured me and i lost 10 inches from various areas of my body. I think not! My clothes fitted exactly the same as when I arrived… and it’s just impossible! I wasn’t bothered telling her I didn’t believe her. I just wanted to leave and I didn’t want anyone to see me there. Just embarrassing.
Please don’t go here.

Worst place ever. DO NOT GO and SAVE A TRIP AND THE HASSLE.
the customer service was horrific this place needs a tune up quick.

Well, I was suprised to fine out that the spa was an office. I was uncomfortable and the body wrap gave me a rash. When I told Sandy that my skin was irratated, she ignored me and was only concerned about getting paid for the session.

I would give ZERO stars if Unilocal would let me! This place is a absolute joke.
On the actual wraps themself:
I purchased a 5 wrap groupon and stopped going after 3 of them when no results where showing and I realized this is just a complete racket from this wife and husband team. Waste of my time and forking out the tip that Sandy practically demands was way too much for me. They talk about how expensive this solution they slather on you is, how they are typically $ 150 bucks each, blah blah blah… and its just this giant jug of cinnoman smelling gunk I am sure.
NOTE: It is so funny how Sandy told everyone on these Unilocal reviews they lost 8 – 12 inches– same thing she told me! Unfortunately for Sandy I had already measured myself before each and every appt and re-​measured when I got home and for a few days after that. Absoutely no change in measurements. And I am a very healthy person, eat right, work out, etc. so I know it was all bull… did I mention that she never shows you what she is measuring, and what number is on that tape measure of hers? She makes sure to keep chatting about nothing so you dont focus on what she is doing or what your measurements are… and what ever she writes down in your file.
Now about how I feel about Sandy:
She was very chatty, polite, just like the other reviews mentioned. But her outright demand for a tip, or trying to guilt you into a very large tip was beyond comprehensionable. Forget customer service skills, she has no people skills!
It is up to the customer to decide how to tip you. You dont ask/​mention/​presume of tip before any service is performed. So unprofessional and just down right rude.
On two of the occasions, she actually left a 50 dollar bill on the round table in the room, as if that was what the last client had given her… kind of like my «tipping guildline» — JOKE! Seriously one of the most annoying woman I have come across in the business world in all of my life.
In a Nutshell:
It is my belief they have this very cheap wrap idea, that obviously costs them next to nothing. (I personally know from friends who have offered on Groupon, that they only make 50% of what the Groupon is sold for.) So they have this cheap wrap solution, some Costco Saran Wrap, a tape measure, and tell you what you want to hear… all this while Sandy requires your large tip. They are counting on your tip to make any kind of money on these wraps because they know once you are smart enough to realize it doesnt work, you would never waste your time and come back.
STAY FAR AWAY. unless you like wasting your time and money!

I bought a group on for 3 wraps. I was so disappointed with the service and the whole tipping thing. It turned me off right away, when they started talking about how much I should give them. That should have been a first clue to not go through with it. Sandy was very friendly and chatty. She was so busy talking about how much I should give her for tip that the wrap itself was a waste of my time. I never went back for the 2^nd or 3^rd wrap, waste of gas, time and energy. At the end of your wrap she will tell you that you lost a total of 8 – 12 inches, ohh please, what a bunch of crap. If your going to try this place (after seeing this review), my suggestion is for you to measure yourself, thigh, waist, arms, butt. Keep track of those numbers, and have her show you her chart, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
I wrote to group on and explained to them how I feel bout this merchant and they gave me a refund for the other 2 wraps. I don’t typically write bad reviews but this people makes me sick.
I’m one of those people who says, I dont like to listen to other people when they are writing negative stuff about anything. I’d rather experience or see it myself and draw my own conclusion. Let me save you some time and money, by saying… «DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT!!!»

Today I went in for my first of three visits. I purchased mine through Groupon and felt the timing was perfect as I’m getting ready for a trip to Cabo soon. First I must say don’t put too much into the negative reviews. I had an open mind and arrived on time. Sandy/​Sandi was the person who assisted me and was very knowledgeable. When I was done I felt good and wasn’t at all in the dark about what the wrap is meant to do and did for me today. I am looking forward to my next visit. I walked there from my office. Perfect lunch break activity!

I had a fantastic relaxing experience and I’m hooked. The process felt great and I noticed results that day and more the next few days after the wrap. I feel like I went from flab to fab with this body contour. Sandi said the wrap tightens and tones the body, getting rid of toxins and improving circulation. I’m grateful for these benefits from the wrap as I value my health. Looking good and feeling good are both important to me. Sandi scheduled me so I could look better in my dance costumes and photo shoot. Celebrities know this is a way to get fast results. I understand exactly why there was a bride and bridal party getting wrapped to look great for the wedding. I was delighted to pay only $ 85 with $ 25 for tip because I saw the wraps other places for $ 150 to $ 240.

I too purchased a groupon for this place — was aware of the negative reviews but saw some positive ones as well. so for shits and giggles I bought one wrap.
It was a touch difficult to initially schedule the appointment — which I now realize is b/​c sandy is also her receptionist. When I did finally schedule she did mention the tipping thing extensively. I will admit I was pretty turned off when she mentioned repeatedly how much people tip and what a good deal I was getting. I don’t know that she actually uses the Unilocal reviews to better her people skill b/​c theres def a review from july that mentions this is a huge TURN OFF as a customer. Let me come in and decide how well I liked you service and I will tip accordingly. It did make a laugh a bit when she mentioned clients giving her $ 100 tips — mostly b/​c the wrap at her reg price is $ 85. There must be something really really special that you’re doing for a customer to tip you almost 120%!
Anyhow– I went in and tried it out. Let me start by mentioning that I live a pretty healthy lifestyle — but I still have some cellulite on my thighs. hence trying this place out.
When I arrived for my 12:30 appt at 12:20 — I knocked on the door and was told to hold on. about 5 minutes later Sandy emerged and said I was early. I found this a little odd mostly b/​c for any service when you’re a first time customer you’re usually supposed to arrive about 10 minutes before your appt time to fill out a questionnaire, etc. Anyhow– this was most likely b/​c the SF office is a room in a building.
she took me down to another area and I waited for about 10 minutes before she place me in a room. The process is how its been described. She measures you, but doesn’t tell you the numbers. I will say that I think this is a little bit of a «believe what you will» type of experience — mostly because I glanced down when she was measuring my waist and I saw 27 inches. Post the wrap when she measured my waist — she said it was 27 and that I lost an inch. I didn’t pay much attention to the other numbers but when she initially measures — the tape is on the looser side. post wrap its tighter — maybe this is how she justifies inches lost?
The wrap did feel like having some cream rubbed on me and then wrapped in saran wrap and I fell asleep in the room. It wasn’t uncomfortable. Just a little boring. After about 25 mins of being wrapped sandy came back in the room and said she had some extra time if I wanted to lay longer — I figured I was in no rush.
Long story short — i don’t feel any different. But glad I tried this when it was offered as a deal. That way later if I do get bigger — I won’t think to waste my money on this. Lesson learned.

I purchased a Groupon for a wrap for the San Mateo office and was excited to learn that the wrap helps eliminate toxins in the body. When I called to make my appointment, Sandy was very friendly, very talkative, and said we would do an analysis when I came in. I was not coming in for «weight loss» — I really wanted to just detox.
When I arrived, the office seemed bare. Sandy was with another client and there was no one else working at the office. She had me do an online questionnaire and pointed to a brochure that I could review. The questionnaire seemed really bogus — there is no way to get a valid assessment of the results of this test. There was no real «analysis» as what I was hoping for. No real explanation of what she was going to do. When I asked her about it, she said «didn’t you look at the brochure.»
Sandy took me into a room, left the door open, and had me undress. She slathered lotion on me in the most awkward, unprofessional manner. Usually, professionals would leave the room, have you undress, lay on the bed under a sheet, then come back in the room making you feel comfortable, by then rubbing the solution on your body. Not her. Not only did she have the blinds semi-​open, but she left me in the room half slathered with this solution, standing up, so she could answer the phone! I was appalled.
She also kept telling me how expensive this solution was and how great of a deal they were giving away. I swear she told me 5 times. Then she takes this saran wrap — oh «not the kind you form Costco» she says — then she tells me the price of that — and wraps my body with it. WEIRD.
Before all this she measured me. She measured me after and basically said i lost a half inch everywhere. I think it’s B.S. I didn’t see her look at my original measurements, she was very scattered, and she never even told me what my measurements were. Worst experience ever — waste of my money. PERIOD.
She also — as another Unilocaler mentioned — went on and on about how much tip people usually leave — so of course I was obligated. She had the nerve to say someone left her $ 80. She also kept going on and on and on about how many Groupons she sold — «over 1,000» she exclaimed. A little business professionalism can go a long way. I’m not sure about this husband and wife venture. Buyers beware.

So I am on the Club Reduce weight loss program and I have seen very good results. I have just started week 4 of the program and have lost almost 10 lbs, and it really is showing. People are asking me what I am doing and are noticing a definite difference in the way I look. The diet program is easy to follow and I am not hungry. I am also continuing the wraps as well and definitely see a distinct difference. I have more energy, stamina, and I am not craving the things I used to. If you are serious about losing weight, and you truly want a change and are willing to put some effort into it, this is a great, healthy way to do it. And yes my skinny jeans are now baggy! Woot!

I loved the wrap and the experience! I can’t believe I lost 12 inches!!! Sandy was great, she explained the process and was super nice. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can’t wait to go and try on my skinny jeans! I feel great!
I purchased the wrap from Groupon, my only regret is not buying more. If I would have known what I know now, I would have bought three.
I will be back!!!

I agree with the reviewer Reva, she explained the process perfectly.
This anti-​cellulit wrap is great. I purchased a plan from groupon, I am very happy with the results of the wraps. My skin has tightened, and feels smother. My body does seem to be smaller and my shape improved.
Sandy is very nice and friendly. She was great about working around my schedule. The office I went to, was the San Mateo one, it was nice and clean. Dr. Chris was also very nice and went over the evaluation with me.
When my groupon is over, I will be back:)

I must first say that this review is not for Dr. Chris and his chiropractic services in San Francisco. This review is for Ms. Sandy and her wrap services in the San Mateo office. For some reason, a Unilocal search did not locate the correct office.
My lovely daughter purchased a couple of Groupons for body wraps. When she made the appointment, Sandy made a point (several times) of telling her that people have been sooooo delighted with the results that they have been tipping 45 to 50 dollars. I got such a bad vibe from her right away as my daughter was right in front of me when she made the appt. So, on the day of the appt., we walked in, Dr. Chris greeted us and had us sign in and do an evaluation, etc. That was ok, he was quite friendly and informative, especially regarding food safety and on the benefits of organic foods. That was fine, he was nice and welcoming. Sandy was also nice, however you can tell it was not sincere. She was pretty rude in pointing out one’s defects. I mean, I know I’m a little chunky monkey… that’s why I’m there.
Anyway, the wrap itself was quite disappointing and terribly uncomfortable. The wrap didn’t stay in place (I’ve had a wrap before that was much more professional and DID NOT move out of place) and she leaves you in a dark room with no music, nothing but the sound of a cheap fountain. By the end of the session, the wrap was bundled around my stomach… not a good feeling! She comes in, cuts you out, measures (she told me that I loss a total of 11 inches and yeah, I don’t think so, sister!) and doesn’t even tell you to flush your system with water. However she does ask you if you want to charge your tip to a credit card or if you will be paying in cash. Not only that, while my daughter was outside waiting for me to be done, Sandy asked her if she was paying for my tip. Very unprofessional!
The wrap was crap and Sandy doesn’t even beg for a tip; she INSISTS upon it! Don’t do it!
