Veronica Ruiz

I started at Coastal Fitness Center in November 2022 as a front desk associate and am currently our Operational Manager. A mother of 2 with a background in business management and administration. Now, combining my work background and fitness lifestyle has been my dream. I have always been involved in athletics, from playing organized sports to strength training. My real fitness journey started in 2015, competing in several functional fitness competitions and assisting with youth CrossFit. I have always taken an interest in human performance and nutrition. Seeing the mental and physical growth of what physical fitness does for people is why I love where I am now.
