Zumba with Nazli

Nazil is not only incredibly talented in creating her own choreography, she beams positivity, fun, and passion as she works the room, getting everyone to engage. I am one of those people who admittedly hates to exercise. I have tried everything from running to a rowing machine to kickboxing to yoga, and have failed miserably in keeping it up. After giving Zumba with Nazil a shot, I’m hooked! I found myself smiling as I danced and intuitively pushing harder as Nazil encouraged us to do. She is also very committed to ensuring that the participants are practicing good body mechanics. Every time I’ve been there the class has started on time. And it wouldn’t bother me a bit if we began a few minutes late. Being a part of her class is totally worth the wait!

Nazli is absolutely great. She infuses a lot of energy in her classes. I like going for her Zumba classes as it is full body exercise to music. She spends enough time after the class on stretches. I’ve been to about 20 classes and I haven’t had a single bad one yet. Her selection of music is excellent. The class starts with a warm up song or two and then goes on to more energetic ones. Towards the end there is a cool down song. What I really like about this class is the various dance forms you can learn. If you love exercising to music and you love dancing I will highly recommend this class!

Hi. everyone Im Jalea also known as Cola I’m African American and I’ve been doing zumba now off and on for about 3yrs, and I can say its been GREAT… I met the most sweetest kindest most international beautiful women zumba instructor name Nazli. this kind hearted lady welcomed me in with open arms. Although I have never been to any other zumba classes other than hers I feel she is the Best! Her spirit is like a butterfly her passion to get you motivated is like a billion dollars the class is very diverse full of love peace and happiness. If anyone in the mountain view area is looking to have a great workout without realizing you’re actually working out this would be the place to go. She teaches @for the love dance studio Sunday thru Thursday. Mind you not only will you get a great workout but you’ll have fun and she is very versatile. I encourage black people to come to this class because she does NOT show any type of difference towards blacks Latinas or any race for that matter. I’ve known her 3yrs now and she is a great friend. She might look like a little girl lol… but dont let that fool u she’s like a little firecracker on the dance floor. So please anyone who’s interested in having a great fun workout join us with Nazli the best zumba instructor in town…

Nazli is the best of the best! She is fun, energetic and such a great teacher! All I can say is that I am a huge fan of Zumba because of Nazli. She has so much passion and joy that is contagious. She makes it so you forget that you are exercising because you are having so much fun!

This class is a total blast. Nazli has so much energy and fun that you always leave feeling is a good mood, plus you get an excellent workout. She varies the mix of songs each time and there always seems to be something new. She also does a great stretching routine at the end, so you get almost a full hour of dance and then some stretching on some days. It’s a nice community of (mostly) women and the class is very supportive of newcomers and it is a friendly environment.

For the past few years, I have stayed away from doing my workouts inside. I hike, I bike and I run with my friends. I had taken Zumba class before and enjoyed it but wasn’t thrilled with the instructors. When I found Nazili’s class, it was like I belonged there. Nazili is amazing, fun, but watchful over her students who range in skill and age and body type– so that we do what is good for our bodies. Focusing on the isolation of different parts of my body– and making them move– have benefits that my husband appreciates! Woohoo Nazili!

I never did Zumba in my life before joining Nazli’s class. She made me feel so comfortable as a new comer. Nazli is so energetic & fun loving person that I just love the energy she brings into every class. Whole class gets into great mood & enthusiastic. She encourage us to sing the song while dancing. I look forward her class verey week.
She personally corrects if we are not doing something right that way providing personal attention to each & every student in her class.
I highly reccomend Zumba with Nazli if you are looking for 1 hour of fun filled highly energetic workout.

I prefer to Eat, Unilocal,drink craft beer & watch the Giants. Sorry I’m not a big dancer. However, my Ball ‘n’ Chain /​better-​half LOVES to dance and she raves about her Zumba! I love finding deals and saw a 20-​class groupon & without really thinking bought it.
After the 20 classes, she is still going, here is what she has to say about it:
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — -
I’ve been trying to find an exciting workout for sometime. I tried running and it bored me, also my knees weren’t happy. Did dvds for awhile, but once I learned the routine I also got bored with them. Then I got a Groupon from my fiancé for Zumba and I LOVE IT! Nazli is an amazing instructor, and is very energetic and supportive. The class is an hour long but it flies by so fast since it’s so much fun. I sweat A LOT and feel great afterwards. She also gives options for those with knee problems. I had tried Zumba with other instructors before, and even though I liked the idea that I was constantly moving for an hour, the routines were either too easy or too fast and I couldn’t enjoy it as much. With Nazli’s routines, they are simple but effective, and even if you don’t get them, as long as you are moving you are fine! Even when I mess up, I feel completely comfortable in class. After the 20 classes from the Groupon, I’ve continued to go paying full price because it’s worth it. Keep in mind that I can get FREE Zumba classes from my work, but Nazli’s class is so great I’d rather pay for a great workout!!! If you sign up, you won’t be disappointed :)

Nazli is a GREAT instructor and makes the class fun and worthwhile. She is professional and welcoming. You will smile during a great work out. Nazli is aware of the students movements and is always observing for correct posture, etc. Want to feel good and do something good for your body?
*Please note if there is a glitch where the class is a «few» minutes late starting or an issue with the sound — things happened beyond her control — be patient — it’s worth it/she’s worth it.

Nazli and her Zumba class was amazingly fun and I was so happy to find an instructor with high energy and enthusiasm.
If you are looking for an instructor who cares a great deal about her customers, then Zumba with Nazli is the place for you!

I very much enjoy Nazli’s energy, passion, consideration for her students and positive coaching. With this size of class (20 or so max, too many would be too crowded) she has time to put a personal touch to all her attendees, always with encouragement and a smile. I would go every day if I could because I enjoy the class so much!
Not every class is perfect for everyone. I enjoy her personal attention. Maybe other people just want an impersonal class where they can go in and out quickly

This review is long overdue. I have been going to Zumba for Nazli for more than a year now. And I LOVE it. I am not the person who can work out in the gym with a machine. I need my cardio to be engaging and thats exactly what Nazli does. Her music choice is eclectic, she keeps up the energy of the room and is a fun person overall to be around. She also understands correct body postures, which I appreciate. Highly recommend it!
P. S. Her prices are reasonable for Mountain View!

I’ve been to Nazli’s Zumba class twice. While she has great energy and plays music from around the world, there are some drawbacks that I’ve noticed:
* She does not start the class on time. The first time I went she had trouble with the speakers and said she would buy her own. The second time she arrived on premises after the time the class was supposed to begin. Over the next 15 minutes, she took down people’s names and money, made change, etc, so the class started late. With folks’ busy schedules, I think any kind of administrative stuff needs to be done early so that the class can start on time.
* The studio is too small for the number of people who show up. This causes numerous interruptions during the class where Nazli has to go around reminding people to make room, that they are getting too close to the wall, etc. The class would be better served if she were in a larger studio and we spent time actually dancing instead of being told to shuffle around constantly.
* «Walk in» does not actually mean «walk in». Today when I showed up, apparently the class was at capacity and I was to have RSVP’d on her Meetup site, which I was not aware of. She let me stay this time since I didn’t know about Meetup. Ok, seems more complicated than it should be for busy people who want to squeeze in a quick workout.
Overall, I would say give this class a chance, go check it out. While I think some improvements can be made, maybe it’s more for you than it is for me. Personally I like to have room in a dance class so I can make big movements and burn more calories. While the dances she does are fun, I am not convinced I’ve found my ideal Zumba class yet. I’m going to look at local gyms as well, maybe they can accommodate better.
EDIT: I had originally given her a very fair and honest ‘3’ stars, but after she posted her ridiculous response to me, I felt compelled to bring it down to ‘2’.

I love coming to this class. Nazli has amazing energy, the steps are easy to follow even for a beginner like me. The dance styles have a wide range — from Salsa to Irish to Bollywood and more!
I would highly recommend the class.

I really enjoy Nazli’s Zumba classes! She is also really nice and very welcoming!
She always try to see everybody in the class and include songs for everybody!
Thank you very much!

I have been attending Nazli’s Zumba classes for about 7 months. Nazli is an amazing Zumba instructor. She is full of passion, energy and enthusiasm, and she never fails to encourage us to have fun, shake our booties and sing. Nazli always informs us of the correct body positions to take so that we do not injure or strain ourselves, and she takes the time to explain these during each session.
This is definitely a great workout and it sure beats running on the treadmill. I highly recommend her classes to anyone!

I love Nazli’s classes! She has terrific energy and she makes the classes super fun. The playlist is very diverse and she includes music from around the world that always makes for a wonderful cardio workout. Highly recommended!

I’ve been attending Zumba with Nazli for three months already and it’s AMAZING!!! Nazli is a great dancer and she is always so positive and energetic. She has a great variety of dance routines and she constantly adds new ones. What I like is she does international Zumba with dances from Russia, Ireland, Turkey and etc, a lot of Latin American routines.
I added Zumba classes as additional fitness routine to my bootcamp classes. Those are hard and I want to cry and die right there. With Zumba classes it’s still hard, but you sing and dance with Nazli and smile on your face never goes off. And you get this big energy boost from dancing for the whole day. It’s a fun way to stay fit.
The class is not very big, max 20 people. That’s good, because Nazli can pay attention to every person in the room. She always explains how to do new routine to prevent any injuries.
One more bonus for people, who like to track everything: my fuelband says that I burn around 500 – 700 calories per session, and sometimes you can get up to 1000 calories. It depends on the intensity, and you can choose with what intensity you want to dance today, it’s all up to you.
About pricing policy: I was very sad to see 1-​star reviews, because it’s all just big misunderstanding. Nazli offers the most affordable classes in Mountain View. And she tried to keep prices low as long as possible. But in the mid June she had to give up free classes and raise prices. She announced it via e-​mails, meetup group, comments on Unilocal and etc. Thanks to Nazli, it’s only $ 2 more for drop-​in and $ 1 for packages. But yes, no more free classes. Still, for $ 12/​class — it’s a steal!

I went to this Zumba class with my daughter at 6:30 tonight because she offered a Free Class for new people. We arrived and told her we were there for the free class. Nazli said No and that was from a long time ago? I SAW HER ADVERTISEMENT and brought a printed copy with me. AS a professional… She could of honored the deal. But no, she decided that $$ was more important @$ 12.00 drop in price. She was even RUDE in front of the few other people who was already in the room warming up. She didn’t even try to offer an discount/​nothing for our inconvenience… Now, she lost out on 2 more people to join her class… period! I hope she learns from this. You don’t treat people this way! We are her business! I wouldn’t of known of a FREE class if SHE didn’t offer one!
This should of been a fun experience but instead… we were disappointed and embarrassed by her lack of Professionalism and poor, poor, poor Customer Service!

I have been going to Zumba with Nazli for close to a year now. I love her energy and enthusiasm; Nazli really gives it her all in every class.
Zumba itself, is a fun way to get or stay fit. For me, I find cardio exercising on a treadmill/​elliptical to be a real bore, and even with access to a gym, I couldn’t motivate myself to go on a regular basis. With Zumba, it’s the opposite. The classes are energetic, the music is good, and it’s quite the workout. An hour at the studio goes by fast!
Come on over and give it a try. Drop in is only $ 10/​class.
