Nathan Laakko
Fitness Center Manager, Stanton Campus

I grew up here in New Castle County and attended McKean High School where I played baseball all 4 years. After high school I attended Wichita State University for 2 years where I joined the rowing (Crew) team. I rowed in the men’s JV Heavyweight 8 that came in 3^rd place at the Dad Vail Regatta in 1995. We were the first men’s team from WSU to ever medal at the Dad Vail Regatta. I decided to transfer to a small division 2 school in Ohio called Urbana University. I joined the baseball team while attending the University. I graduated From Urbana in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Science with an emphasis in exercise and fitness. Sports and fitness have always been a big part of my life so working in the fitness industry is right down my alley. I was hired by Cardio Kinetics in the summer of 2000. I am also certified in CPR from the American Heart Association.
