Name: Tyler Grob

What city were you born in Howell, Michigan

What’s your least favorite exercise Favorite Exercise? My least favorite exercise are reverse lunges cause they hurt my toes. My favorite exercise is Turkish get ups, because THEY’RE GREAT.

What do you enjoy most about competing post-collegiately My favorite part about competing post collegiately is that I get to compete against the best in the U.S./World. I love trying to beat the best no matter the odds and the challenge is what makes it fun.

What competition stands out the most to you and why I would say the decathlon that sticks out the most would be the TGA dec from 2018. I was a little broken going into it but I ended up putting up a big day two for the score that got me into my first USATF champs.

What motivates you Honestly, it’s several different things. Ranging in different levels of positivity and toxicity. My biggest motivator is my love for the decathlon and how it’s a part of me after 12 years of doing it. I love doing it, I love the challenge, and seeing the improvements week to week with Mike fires me up.

Name: Sarah Glidden

What city were you born in Greenville, Wisconsin (small town near Greenbay!)

What’s your least favorite exercise Favorite Exercise? Least favorite: Turkish Get Ups; Favorite: kBOX squats – giving us the opportunity to do exercises like this puts Athletic Lab ahead of most training facilities.

What do you enjoy most about competing post-collegiately I enjoy being surrounded by other individuals whose goals align with mine. I also think competing is such an amazing platform to give God the glory while working hard to pursue my dreams.

What competition stands out the most to you and why My most recent competition at Liberty University was a memorable one. This was the first time I competed in a meet post-collegiately and I set a 366 point PR in the Pentathlon. My previous PR was set when I was the D3 National Champion – so being able to crush that score has helped my confidence.

What motivates you My faith, family, and friends. It motivates me knowing I have a solid group of people in Wisconsin and now a group in NC who support and push me.
