Alicia Ekstrom

Hi! I'm Alicia, I've been teaching POUND for 7 years and consider myself not only a fitness instructor, but a wellness and POUND "inspirer." 

I’m passionate, creative, and all in all a positive person. I'm always up for a new challenge, and put 120% into anything I do. Ever since I was younger, I've had an interest for health and fitness. The gym was a wellness oasis for me, my happy place. After graduating college, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and follow an interest of becoming a fitness instructor. I’ve grown since that time and am always looking to better my fitness family and community, whether it be by offering unique classes, supporting local small businesses, offering classes for all ages, in the workplace, at schools, etc. but most importantly-bringing smiles to those who come to each and every class. Why work out, if you're not having fun, right?! My passion continues to grow as I've become the Director of Health and Wellness at our local Community Health Center, and include classes within schools and worksites. POUND has changed my life exponentially and I hope to continue leaving a lasting impression to all who give it a try!
