SHOW UP.
STAY RAD.
Being an Olympic weightlifting coach requires an adequate coaching eye and knowledge of how to program.
But on a much deeper level, I believe that coaching is an art that requires passion, knowledge of self and an authentic, genuine expression of that self. I truly believe that this is the ONLY way I can build trust with athletes and, in turn, get the best out of them!

My name is Sage Burgener and I am a mom of two beautiful children and a strength and conditioning coach.
I've been involved in the sport of Olympic weightlifting for 30 years. My coaching career began at the age of 15 (19 years ago) and my love for teaching others continues to grow with each passing year.
Those who know me, know I have a deep love for training. I've spent decades throwing myself into the fire of multiple different fitness realms (Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit and ultra running)just to see what I can learn about myself.
Throughout that journey, my coaching methodology has continued to grow and evolve. My deepest goal is to continually learn and to take what I learn and pass it on to those who are like me... obsessed with exploring the depths of themselves through sport and physical feats.
The athletes I love to coach are not the world champions, or the elite level competitors. The athletes that fuel my soul are the athletes with maturity, perspective and a deep love for training. They're the ones that know that we don't train to qualify for that one competition/race... we train to become better humans.
I mentor coaches, I coach athletes remotely and I teach one day Olympic weightlifting seminars. However, my deepest passion is holding my Bad Bitch Camps: a weekend fitness retreat for women where we dive deep into our physical selves so we can dive even deeper into our spiritual selves.
The Burgener Way has always been about giving back and helping others see/reach their true potential...because that's what life is all about. That's why I'm here. And I'm here for you.
“To show up for myself in this life and to show up for my kids in a way that helps them navigate through life — that’s my goal.”
