Biography

Early Life and Injury

Born in the Netherlands, in 1990, Sandra began working out while training to become a professional kickboxer at the age of 14. Through years of relentless training, she attained an amazing physique.

However, in 2012, she suffered an injury after an accident which ruled her out of the sport. With her competitive spirit still fighting to be active, Sandra knew that she had to find another way of keeping busy.

Start of her Fitness Journey

At the age of 22, in 2013, she entered the gym and began her journey into the industry. But she soon faced a setback – her limited knowledge on fitness meant that she wasn’t making much progress.

Sandra became frustrated with her lack of development and a month later, sought help. She hired a personal trainer, and with a solid diet and training plan, started to make great progress.

Becoming an Online Sensation and Personal Trainer

After a few years of intense training, at the beginning of 2016, she started posting pictures of her journey on Instagram. It wasn’t long until Sandra had become an online sensation, gaining millions of followers in less than 6 months.

This motivated her to up her game and give back to her fans. She began personal training in late 2016, helping others to realize their dreams.
