Aaron Aslakson
Director of Fitness Centers
Aaron joined Walker Methodist in 2009 after receiving his BA in Exercise Science from Concordia College, and his MA in Exercise Physiology from MSU Mankato. He’s a Certified Exercise Physiologist (EP-C), a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).
Aaron is also an Adjunct Professor of Biomechanics at Concordia University, St. Paul.
Aaron says the favorite part of his job involves positively affecting the lives of Walker Methodist’s residents. He loves hearing residents say they feel stronger and they are able to do things they haven’t been able to do in years. Aaron finds his job extremely rewarding; each day gives him something new to look forward to.
When he’s not helping Place residents in the fitness center, Aaron can be found spending time with his family in Savage. Aaron admits he's addicted to running; no matter what his day has been like, going for a run can help him relax. He also enjoys yard work and hunting.
