Downtown Athletic Club

Saints starting quarterback Tyler Shough spent part of his offseason at the DAC, working out and recovering between seasons. Fresh off a fan-voted 2025 NFL Rookie of the Year nod, Tyler used his time in Eugene to train, reset, and catch up with familiar faces, including longtime Oregon quarterback and coach Nate Costa.

Costa has been part of the Ducks family as a player and coach and has worked alongside quarterbacks like Marcus Mariota and Justin Herbert along the way. 🏈

We love that the DAC continues to be the kind of place where athletes at every level come to train, recover, and reconnect. 🦆

🚴 Rhythm Ride: out of the saddle, choreography synced to the beat

She set two world records for two lifts at age 71 on a national stage.

DAC member Lynn Jacobson competed at the USPA Ultra Powerlifting Championships in Anaheim, CA this May and came home with Master's World Records in both the squat (150lbs) and the deadlift (220lbs) for her age and weight class.

Lynn has been lifting most of her adult life — for running, hiking, ranch work, and just living well. She started powerlifting 6-7 years ago when her daughter picked up the sport. She was cautious about squats at first (she had knee surgery decades ago), so she did the work: found good coaches, focused on form, and never stopped refining.

She also swims during the Masters Swim class (lovingly calling themselves the Nooners), teaches at Bushnell University, holds three Masters and a PhD, just finished a new certification, and lives on a ranch in Springfield. She turns 72 in August and is already planning her next competition.

Lynn's message to other members? Start lifting and don't stop. Any kind of weight training makes daily life easier, improves joint mobility, and builds bone density. And if you're new to it, start with a trainer, because form matters.

But her message goes beyond the physical. Lynn believes deeply in lifting each other up, in every sense of the phrase. She wants to see women surround themselves with other women who encourage, challenge, and cheer for one another. Women who show up for each other the way the Nooners show up weekdays at noon. Strength, she'll tell you, isn't just something you build in your body, but it's something you build together.

Congratulations, Lynn! 👏 👏 We're so proud of the work you continue to put in, and grateful you shared your story with us.
