I have nothing but amazing to say about Sergio, Jackie and the amazing facility they have built. Besides being in my opinion one of the best places to train equipment wise alone. Sergio has cultivated an amazing environment that promotes growth, not only in strength but as people. whether you are going to stop in for a visit or plan on staying around for awhile you will find a family in the people at surge like no other.

This is by far the best gym ive ever had a membership to, all the equipment is top of line and sergio is one of the nicest guys to have as a trainer, not only is he great with guiding me through my workout journey but he teaches, listens and truly cares about my well being. Our workouts are never the same and i always feel challenged. He has made me stronger than ive felt in a very long time. Keep up the good work Sergio and Jackie!!! More...

This gym is what powerlifting is all about. Obviously the gym equipment is why you're going. They have the stuff you want and need, that you can't find anywhere else. But you'll keep coming back bease of the people. The owner Sergio is one of the nicest and most humble guys. If you're a powerlifter in the Northwest Burbs and haven't gone in yet your missing out!

Surge is easily the best gym around here. A plethora of High quality equipment that is continuously expanding, it's easy to see that Sergio cares deeply about delivering a quality expirience for new and old lifters alike. Plenty of highly competitive lifters to set a great atmosphere for smashing prs or just motivating you through a hard lift, it's always great to see Sergio around lifting and helping with other members. Whether you're a powerlifter or just looking for a good gym, Surge is where you should be going. More...

I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about lifting or getting in shape. It has been a wonderful experience.
Sergio is an outstanding and knowledgeable trainer/gym owner and has already helped me lose close to 25 pounds. I suffered a back injury in 2005 and he has helped me strengthen my core which has help with the back pain.
The gym itself is super clean and has the best equipment in town. I am so glad I have him as a trainer.

I've gone into gyms or health clubs to lift before and I was starting to get beat down and tired of the looks and comments I would get from people that "I shouldn't be lifting that heavy. " Coming to surge was such a refreshing experience because Jackie and Sergio took the time to make sure I felt welcomed and knew that no question was stupid. Their advice was genuine and they truly want to help others succeed and reach their full potential. I would easily drive half an hour to lift here than drive five minutes to lift heavy at my current gym. Extremely welcoming environment and extremely friendly and helpful coaches! More...

I go to Surge to train for powerlifting, not for personal training sessions.. With that in mind, this review is based off my individual workout experience. . Sergio's passion for the sport is evident throughout the gym. Surge has all the right equipment to train with, including specialty bars, deadlift platforms, and a monolift. The place is always clean and cared for.. You aren't going to find weights laying around or someone's bar from 2 days ago with 10 plates on it. The gym is also 24 hours which is a huge plus for me, but ultimately it's the culture that first attracted me to Surge.. Sergio, Jackie, and the team are always willing to help you out with something as simple as spotting, or even working on meet prep. Everyone supports, educates, and challenges each other. You just can't find this kind of atmosphere in a commercial gym. If you're looking for a serious place to lift, I highly recommend checking out Surge to New Levels. More...

Sergio is a great coach. It's been quite a while since I've worked with him, but his skill set is so diverse that I carry a lot of his methodology with me even today. Even after getting by with lifting on my own for over five years, Sergio really took my training to new levels haha. He coached me in powerlifting, and also helped me prepare for my military training. If you're sick of cookie cutter programs and having people "prescribe" workouts without really listening to your needs, definitely give Sergio a shot. He's super attentive, very knowledgable, and is very open to trying new things with his clients so he can tailor the experience to the person. Not to mention, my experience with him was all through online training, so I can't even imagine how much better his in-person sessions probably are. I'd recommend Sergio to anyone, and there's few businesses that I could really say that about! More...

I am training for my first competition, and booked several individual training sessions with Sergio. He developed my 13 week training plan, and was a great help in tweaking my form and technique. He recommended I drop in for his Friday night group powerlifting training, and I was so impressed with how welcoming and friendly everyone one was. He really creates a great lifting community that is supportive and fun! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Whether it's to lose weight, gain lean muscle and strength, or simply improve function for everyday living; we primarily use strength training principles to help our clients reach their goals. Along with elements of conditioning we have found that this is the best way to not only keep off weight but also gain strength and improve the quality of every day life.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The "secret" can be summed up with the acronym KIA which is Knowledge, Intensity, and Accountability. Our trainers will offer the knowledge necessary to make sure your time is not wasted and you reach your goal injury free. The level of intensity that our trainers offer is also customized to your skills and abilities; we will push you out of your comfort zone but we won't expect you to go beyond something impossible for you. Finally with us keeping you accountable in making appointments, tracking nutrition, and communicating with us you will see results.
What do you love most about your job?
The best part about our line of work is seeing clients get life changing results. Whether it's the client who's lost 25lbs in time for their wedding, the client in their 60's who can now move freely again without assistance, or even the client who's wanted something new and is excited about working out again. It makes all of our hard work and effort completely worth it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Personally we felt that there was a lack of transparency in the industry. Fed up with the predatory tactics of commercial fitness and less than qualified personal trainers we really wanted to put a quality service out there. Something that would stand out and truly honor the needs of the clients it serves. without the smoke and mirrors. This is our passion and we only want to make sure everyone has a good experience with it as well.
Why should our clients choose you?
We stand out for one big reason: we care about the customer first and the money second. While other trainers may tell you anything to make sure they make the "sale". We will always be honest with you in what we CAN and CAN'T do. We stress honesty, transparency, and open communication with our clients. We want to make sure this is a good fit for YOU and not just for us. We won't ever pressure you into something you do not want and if you choose to believe in us, we will give you our 100%
One on One Personal Training
One on one personal training is specifically designed to meet your needs. Using tried and true methods of strength training and conditioning we help you reach your goals whether it is to lose weight, gain muscle, or become a better athlete!
Small Group Personal Training
Group personal training is recommended for the client who wants to bring in a friend, sibling, parent, or spouse to push with them through a motivating workout. Groups can be up to five people and are advised to be near the same fitness level for optimal training!
