Baja Bios – Modu Seye

MODU SEYE has always been motivated to aim high. A native of Senegal, Modu came to America as a young man, and then went on to earn his bachelors and masters degrees in business from the University Of Nebraska, Omaha. After a stint in corporate America, Modu was pulled to Los Angeles to pursue a career in modeling. It was in Los Angeles that Modu realized his passion for fitness. He earned his first certification for personal training in 2009 and then created ModuVated as a way to share his unique perspective on fitness and healthy living. From his start in Los Angeles, demand for Mudu Seye and his training style spread, taking him south to Cabo San Lucas. Modu operates two gyms, one located at the Koral Center in San Jose Del Cabo, and another at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas. Today, Modu Seye and his team are known as the top fitness professionals in Los Cabos. Here’s a brief Q&A with the man himself:

It’s not about where you’re from, but whom you choose to become
