Sara Baier
Owner and Coach

Sara has been in the cheer industry for over 16 years.  Her journey began at age 14 when she joined her Junior High cheerleading squad. The hook was set and Sara’s passion for cheer grew. She joined her High School’s cheer team, that team competed throughout the state, and went undefeated. High school is where she began her stunting journey and finessed the art of basing. Her hard work in high school paid off with a cheerleading scholarship at Billing’s Rocky Mountain College. Rocky allowed Sara to continue to showcase her basing skills, while pushing her to learn how to be become a flyer.

Exchanging her cheer shoes for a coach’s shirt, she went on to be an assistant coach at Laurel High School, and eventually taking over the head coaching position. Wanting to push herself and learn a new skill she become a competitive all-star cheerleading coach.

With the desire to advance cheerleading in Montana, Montana Performance Gym was born!
