Burgener Athletic Club in downtown San Diego's East Village opened in January 2026 as a 6,500-square-foot CrossFit affiliate rooted in the Burgener Strength weightlifting methodology — a coaching system built by a USA Weightlifting Level 5 Senior International Coach and former Marine Corps captain. The Olympic-weightlifting classes focus on snatch and clean-and-jerk technique under coaches trained in the Burgener method, and members working through lifting-related strains coordinate return-to-platform timelines with ProResults Physical Therapy downtown. A Shred class pairs bodybuilding-style hypertrophy sets with a conditioning finisher, and the Engine format builds aerobic capacity through rowing, running, and machine-based intervals designed for race and event preparation. The 15th Street facility features exposed brick walls, wood ceilings, and competition-grade platforms five blocks from Petco Park — a training environment that complements the spinal-care and sports-chiropractic services at Dr. Brian Garrett's chiropractic office in Bankers Hill. The most technical programming tracks athletes through multi-week snatch and clean-and-jerk cycles calibrated to USAW competition standards, with position-specific coaching and load-progression protocols managed by Burgener-certified staff.
