In this episode of The Kids Table, Gunnar Peterson, Luke Milton, and Jen Widerstrom dive into the wild, winding world of fitness and a few stories they probably weren’t supposed to tell. Between Jen’s upcoming strongman competition, Gunnar’s secret past as “Conrad Black,” and Luke’s theories on the future of group training, this one’s part industry roundtable and part comedy show.

They explore the comeback of competitive-style training like Strongman and Hyrox, the power of community in building consistency, and how gyms are quietly becoming the new “college teams” for everyday athletes. You’ll hear candid reflections on overtraining, belonging, and why finding your people might just be the key to finding your purpose. Plus a glimpse at Gunnar’s massive new gym build-out and the gear graveyard lurking outside of it. Expect sharp insights, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that everyone starts somewhere… even if it’s faking an assistant.
