I’m Tanner Newman, a competitive powerlifter and dedicated coach. I’ve been involved in the sport for over six years, both on the platform and in coaching. As an athlete, I’ve earned notable achievements, including an 810kg (1,786lbs) total and a 335kg (738lbs) deadlift at just 18 years old and 130kg bodyweight. At 19, I returned from a herniated disc and two fractured vertebrae to total 780kg (1719lbs) at 120kg bodyweight.

Beyond my personal lifting, I’ve been coaching for the past three years. My passion for powerlifting extends far beyond my own training. I’m committed to continually expanding my knowledge to better serve my athletes. While I won’t claim to have every answer immediately, I guarantee I will do everything possible to find solutions and help you succeed.

Testimonials

  • Angelo Caprino

    I’ve been working with Sergio for a little over a year now and I’ve not only improved my lifts, but I’ve improved as a person overall and how I attack everything I do. I’ve increased all of my lifts by 100lbs+ while also working through a broken bone. Sergio isn’t just a coach but a real homie that you can talk to and share some laughs with. He’s shown me how to control my variables in and out of the gym and he’s super in depth with his training and coaching processes. I’m excited to see what I can accomplish with him in the future.

    I’ve been working with Mags since May 2024. I totaled 1270 on a long plateau in March and it only took me two months with mags to get me up to 1420lbs total. Sergio is an awesome coach. One thing he’s really good at is changing your perspective on training and really going into depth with technique. And how to problem solve. the week I started working with him I broke my foot and he knew exactly what to do for me to get back to training quickly and get my total up. I am also ending my first block with mags after being sick for a whole month and I already feel so much better as if I never got sick.

  • Erick Olave

    I’ve been working with Sergio for the better part of a year and a half. In this time working together we’ve put over 200lbs on my total, increased my meet day performance, has elevated my training to a new level. While working with Sergio he has always been a man of his word in terms of meeting his service’s expectations and frequently exceeds them. He has changed the trajectory of my powerlifting career, teaching me the mentality and work ethic that is needed to excel in this sport.

  • River Johnson

    I've been working with Sergio for almost six months now, and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made. In the first three months, I added about 100 pounds to my total, and my progress has been nuts. Sergio has also been great at my making my blocks and adapting the workouts to me. He also is a huge help with correcting my form. He consistently pushes me to get better every day, and his guidance has made a huge difference in my lifting journey.

  • RJ Gaffney

    I’ve been working with sergio for about 3 months now and I can honestly say he’s the best it gets. Not only does he provide you with a detailed program for your lifting goals but he also provides daily communication. He is unlike any other coach because he holds himself accountable. He isn’t only a great coach but he is also an amazing role model and person.
