Surge To New Levels Gym — Attraction in Carol Stream

Surge is truly the best of the best. This gym caters to powerlifting, strongman, and boxing as well as general fitness without the hyped up gymbro culture. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. The gym is big and has enough equipment that its rare to have to wait or someone usually lets you work in with them. If you need spotters or are ready to hit a PR everyone is pretty ready to help and hype you up.

Surge also hosts powerlifting meets and boxing events. The energy and supportive environment is contagious! Its THE best venue for meets.

Personal training is also available from owner Sergio and trainer Mike. Both have been so helpful and essential in my growth as a powerlifter (even before joing the Surge team).

Finally, they have their own powerlifting team which is programmed by Sergio and Mike and tailored to each athlete. With their combined experience and knowledge you'll fine-tune your technique while building strength. Although they pay attention to our individual needs through programming, we come together at team lifts. It's definitely worth the hour...

I came to the facility/boxing gym yesterday & numerous times before this, let me tell you about yesterday’s experience which just killed the whole vibe for me. I bring in 3 of mma buddies and we each get a $15 day pass so we could spar in the ring and do a workout later and tell me why the coach gon come up be like we can’t spar and told us to do body shots but only while a coach is watching which is just a ineffective to spar for competitors so if your looking to get better at this gym just look somewhere else. I wouldn’t have even been mad if he made us buy headgear but that just ruined it and just to add on… my friend asked if we can wrestle and he told us that we can do that on the hard floor so pretty much even a bigger risk of injury than what we’re supposedly doing. We literally $15 just to be there for 15 minutes in the presence and couldn’t even get a refund either?? Not to mad about that but all this is enough to never wanna come back here btw nobody ever told me this until I came to the gym.. it’s understandable but for sure was blew in the moment so I put...

I have nothing but good things to say about Sergio. For years I had been going to the gym on a regular basis, but I was not seeing the results I wanted. I took some personal training classes that my gym offered, however I felt like my needs/goals were still not being met. I came across Sergio through friends who had used his services. After seeing their impressive progress pictures I decided to give personal training another chance. I can honestly say that working with Sergio got me through my plateau. Within two weeks of seeing him twice a week I started seeing results. I started lifting and lost the fear of "looking manly". I lost body fat, arms/legs were looking toned, and my core was more defined. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing your before and after photos and seeing what you are able to accomplish if you just push through. I can tell you that Sergio is tough, but that's what makes it worth it! Highly recommend him and...
