Veto Rodriguez emigrated with his family from Jalisco, Mexico to the United States at the age of four. He was raised in Sonoma County along with his two younger siblings who continue to look up to his determination to be successful, regardless of any circumstances. After a lengthy and complicated process, he is proud to be a US citizen!

Before Veto discovered his true passion as a professional fitness coach he studied architecture, criminal justice, and business administration at Santa Rosa Junior College. He also completed the Firefighter Academy. While in Sonoma he was a USA Boxing member and Jujitsu competitor. He participated in powerlifting competitions and played soccer for over ten years.

Veto’s love of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and water sports are what attracted him to Chico. “I was originally introduced to Whole Body Fitness in 2015 where I met founder Angelo Poli and learned of his very unique training methodology,” says Veto. “It was then that my interest in posture and alignment was born. I quickly learned that If I would have known more of these principles I would have been able to avoid several injuries. Knowing that I could help others in a very progressive and safe way made me realize that this was the path I wanted to take.” This passion led him to complete his International Sports Science Association certification and become a professional trainer at WBF. After taking on clients of his own for five years, Veto has now stepped into the role of Manager and Head Trainer.

“Working at WBF is very rewarding in several ways,” continues Veto. “I get to share my knowledge with my clients, so they can use that information to become a happier and healthier version of themselves. The camaraderie, support, and team spirit here are fantastic. I have developed many special friendships with clients and other trainers.”
