Zumba with Adriana

i read all the reviews to check if everybody has the same opinion as I do, and I just found one 2 star review with which I completely disagree. Adriana is a great Zumba instructor. I am a Zumba aficionada who took and takes many classes with all sorts of instructors, and I can guarantee that Adriana’s routines are not too simple. They are the right simple. The simple that makes it easy for anyone to follow. They are simple, but not boring. It is awful when you go to a Zumba class and cannot follow the routines. During Adriana’s class you have fun and sweats. Exactly what a Zumba class is supposed to deliver. The routines are meant for lay people who have no dance background, but love music and dance; therefore, professionals and judgemental people should look for something different. Believe me, her classes are worthy. You will not regret if you give it a try.

Adriana is incredible, I want to look and move the way she does when I am her age. this class is FUN, FUN, FUN! You have over 40 women and one man show up to this class on Saturday mornings, it is early but it gets you going for the day.

I just started taking Zumba classes with Adriana and I LOVE it! It’s super fun and high energy, and even though i don’t know all the steps yet, I know I’m getting a fantastic work-​out. I’m not the only newbie so I don’t feel intimidated at all, even when i’m completely lost. but the class moves fast you and you catch up again pretty quick. There are people of all shapes, sizes, levels of fitness, and familiarity with the steps. feels like a big dance party! i also love that the Thurs. night class is at 8 so you have time to get home, eat if you want, rest up and still get a work-​out in. i only wish they had another night or two during the week. once i get good at this, i can tell i’m going to be addicted!

Love Adriana’s class! She makes working out FUN! and her music is the BEST!

I love Adriana’s classes! Great energy and great music! I had so much fun! Definitely going to become a regular!!! :).

This class is fun. The music is high energy and the people who attend the class make it exciting. It’s a great workout.

I think maybe I’m spoiled by my zumba instructor in Oakland, who is amazing. Everyone else pales in comparison.
I guess I just felt like the choreography was too simple? And the music wasn’t diverse enough.
I could sum up the experience with one word: meh.

Went to my first class last week! This is a fun, high energy class with great music! There are people of all different levels here so I wasn’t intimidated! The facility is clean and big. Parking can be tough sometimes but if you go around 24^th st it gets easier! I definitely got tired towards the ends of class so it’s great to have something to work towards!
Come if you’re ready to let loose and booty shake even if you look ridiculous!

Zumba with Adriana has changed the way I think about group fitness– it’s incredible! Not only am I getting a real workout (heart rate monitor ranged from 155 – 175, sweat rate monitor ranged from drippy to salty), it’s so much fun! I have a huge smile on my face every time I’m in class.
Zumba is for everyone, and Adriana’s classes are a great showcase. There are always a variety of ages, shapes and sizes having a good time and shaking their thing.
My week isn’t the same without it!

I’ve been attending this class off and on for three months (thursday at 8p), and have NEVER been let down. She is full of energy, makes working out for an hour straight bearable, and keeps me coming back for more.
The studio is often packed, its hot and sweaty, so remember to bring water :) I have no dancing skills at all, but love the workout it gives me.

Awesome instructor! Each time I go, I always have so much fun. Adrianna has great choreography that is simple, yet still challenging to keep going for a whole hour. She usually has Brazilian songs, but occasionally throws in a few hip hop songs like Usher and LMFAO. If you aren’t very coordinated, or just look like a fool when you move around, no one really cares or minds :) Adrianna just wants everyone to have a great time!
Another thing is she tends to go overtime, depending on if people want extra songs or whatnot. I found this very sweet of her, always caring about her customers! Can be a little frustrating though if you need to leave, the stretching is super important at the end.
Tip: bring water!!! She doesn’t have any at her studio. Also, parking can be awful at times. It’s always a hit or miss, so go early.
Overall, her studio is a lot of fun. I’m hooked on Zumba!

Adriana is amazing! I have no idea how she can keep going like that while also yelling out instructions! She’s really like a human energizer bunny!
This is by far the most fun way I’ve ever found to exercise. The whole concept is just awesome, you are basically just dancing and jumping around to really happy lively music for an hour, but boy do you get a work-​out. I felt like my eyes were sweating! (Definitely bring a water bottle! I made that mistake the first time, and was vaguely concerned I might pass out from dehydration driving home from class!) And Adriana is in such amazing shape, it’s quite inspiring.
You get tired during the class, but when you leave you fee really happy and energized and basically can’t wait to go back and just sort of want to keep going. (This class may have inspired a Zumba Pandora station to help me deal with the withdrawal after class ends… :)

This morning I pulled myself out of bed and made my way down to Adriana’s 9am Zumba class. I am so glad that I went! I nearly shut off my alarm and slept right through the class.
I was literally dripping with sweat and had an awesome time dancing my booty off. The class was full of beginners and well-​experienced Zumba-​ers, both young and old. The routines were easy to pick up and the music was great too.
Adriana was FULL of energy, which was just what my tired self needed to feed off of. I bought her Unilocal deal and plan on coming back for a lot more kick-​butt Saturday morning workouts.

I just completed my first 5 zumba classes with Adriana and bought another 10. She’s super enthusiastic, fun and this is a great workout. Come try it! You won’t regret it!

Adriana is awesome! I’ve tried a couple of Zumba classes in SF and Adriana is by far the best. I get the hardest workout here but still have so much fun. The ladies are all great and all pumped. I would highly recommend that you try it. Be ready to sweat and bring A LOT of water.

This class was fantastic! Adriana has an energy about her that makes you want to move and makes you forget that you may be a bit tired. So it’s a great workout. Her energy is contagious and she’ll be happy to chat before or after class. She’s also very responsive over email. When I left the class, I felt super happy. It’s not like leaving the dreary gym, which is ok, but this is a nice change.
I’m so glad I signed up for these classes through a coupon and I am sure I will continue them after my pass has run out. I just hope it doesn’t get too too crowded now!

This review is being written moments after my first zumba class with Adriana — ok, not moments really, since I still had to walk home and take a shower because oh my god she will make you sweat! I am not an Olympic medalist by any means but I’m also not a very unfit person either, and tried several workouts from bikram to trx, but I think Adriana’s class was the best cardio workout in a long time.
She is very energetic and nice, and she will use the one hour to the last minute! And you will enjoy it ;-) The studio is unassuming, but it’s very large and bright and has a community center-​like feeling, so specific to the Mission. Sometimes you might feel that there’s not enough air… but that’s simply because you just had a great workout!

Adriana is a great dancer. Amazing energy and stamina.
Excellent workout.
This space is wonderful. Huge and light.

Great Instructor! you’ll gonna love her classes!

Adriana is a hard worker and a dedicated instructor. Because of her years of experience as a teacher, she knows what her students need and want. She really takes time to welcome and teach first comers. Her class is fun and you learn fast with her class. — you can even learn how to Samba !
If you go to gym 24hours, the classes are so full that you can’t even move so much. At Abada, you have plenty of space, light and you feel a good energy there. I love her class ! I recommend !
