Gage Oldenburg
La Crosse, WI, USA
UWL Barbell Head Coach since 2023 - Helping you have more fun than your last coach
Four years ago, I cried joyful tears the entire drive home from my first powerlifting meet. That leap changed everything for me, and it became my goal to share this sport with as many people as possible.
I've founded a collegiate powerlifting club, hosted multiple competitions, and coached 20+ athletes at every level, with over a dozen competing at nationals. I've also spotted and loaded with Team Minnesota at multiple national meets, and I am a USAPL-certified mentor.
I understand what it feels like to be taken over by nerves on the platform, but everything from the program execution to your individualized communication needs will be used to see your success.
The goal is easy: I want you to fall in love with this sport the way I did.
Testimonials
I started with Gage in September of 2025. I just arrived at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and decided to join a club called UWL Barbell. I talked to members of the club about powerlifting and where I should get started. They all directed me towards Gage and the rest is history. From the jump Gage never judged or complain about any of the lifts I have sent him. He has been super understanding to any circumstances that arose and made sure that what needed to be done was clear and I was able to understand what was needed to be done in order to maximize my training and progress. Gage has also become a close friend of mine. Through rants about our love for powerlifting and never ending trips with the guy we quickly clicked. Gage is someone who can be trusted and there is proof to go with it.
Gage The GOAT
Austin Becker - Client
Not even 1 week in with Gage and I’m already starting to feel muscles in SBD work that have never worked before. I feel stronger and more wired mentally. This guy knows what he’s talking about and makes it so easy to visualize the cues he wants to see. 10/10 hands down best coaching experience and can’t express the excitement I have being able to work with Gage to accomplish my powerlifting goals 🤑
A coach that cooks
Rae - Client
Gage was my first powerlifting coach and he taught me the ropes. Very great communication and effective feedback. He had put 15kg on my total for my first competition. Highly recommend this guy.
