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 thats what makes it worth it! Highly recommend him and his services!

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.. Sergios 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 arent going to find weights laying around or someones 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 its 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 cant find this kind of atmosphere in a commercial gym. If youre looking for a serious place to lift, I highly recommend checking out Surge to New Levels.

I am someone who before meeting Sergio had never really worked out and had never weight trained. Sergio is an amazing trainer and is very passionate about what he does. His sessions are tough but in a good way and never intimidating. Sergio has been very encouraging and patient when it comes to my fitness goals. Ive been going to Sergio once a week for about 6-8 months now with my sister and have seen awesome improvements. We started with lower body and within weeks saw my legs getting toned and gaining muscle. Never would I have thought that I would ever be able to squat 135lbs and it feels great! I am stronger than I was before I started and know that I can only get stronger! All due to Sergio pushing you even when you feel like you cant because he sees your full potential! Not only has he helped me with my fitness goals but also with nutrition. Everything is personalized to meet all my goals. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Ive been working with Sergio for a few months now. I came in with a pretty stalled deadlift and really rough technique. Ive always struggled with deadlifts, especially lockouts. Sumo or Conventional. it didnt matter. With his help, weve completely changed that! My deadlift has never been stronger and is finally reaching competitive levels. Just last week I pulled my max for a very smooth double with a rep in the tank. In addition to that, hes helped me peak for a meet (and now a second) and with his help I came in fresh, strong, and took first in my weight class! Im very excited to see how far I an take Powerlifting with his help and highly recommend, for those of you in the area, the group sessions he offers with other lifters. Every week someone hits some kind of weight or rep PR and everyone is supportive! If youve got time, drop in!

Sergio is an awesome guy to have train you!! Im always looking forward to the days that I train with him because I know when I leave after that workout I have been challenged and Im one day closer to my fitness goals. He is not the typical trainer who does not listen to his clients and is only there to collect a paycheck-- I have a lower back issue and hes always checking with me on how a certain exercise/lift felt on my back. He truly listens to his clients and what they want out of their gym experience!! The facility is great too! I have been to gyms where I feel uncomfortable training at because it feels like a beauty/popularity contest. Surge To New Levels Gym has the atmosphere where ALL will feel their very best there, no matter your fitness level, weight, gender, etc. Everyone there is super nice, accepting, and very helpful!!

It is very refreshing to see such a young professional with great pride in what he does. Sergio has true enjoyment and passion in his work and that is evident within moments of meeting him. Through discussions of my own personal experiences with lifting, my own PRs, and Sergios expertise, it is clear his knowledge of Powerlifting and programming is vast. Coming from a CrossFit background, entering a gym for Powerlifting was a new experience for me. Sergio introduced me to the team and everyone was welcoming and supportive. Everyone celebrates together over successes, and unites over failures with words of encouragement for your next attempt. Jackie is an inspiration to watch, uplifting as a team member, and beyond encouraging as a coach. Great experiences at Surge to New Levels. Im very happy that I found them.

I don’t normally write reviews and it’s not like Surge To New Levels Gym needs another great review but I felt everyone needed to know about Jackie. She’s part of the Surge to New Levels Team and is an outstanding personal trainer. I have been training with her for a month now and I absolutely love her!! I have a hectic work schedule and Jackie was able to accommodate me. She’s extremely patient and knows what works best for me but also pushes me and doesn’t let me give up on myself. I look forward to the days that I get to train with her. She’s definitely helped get my confidence up and my strength. I live about 40 minutes away but she’s worth the drive and I will not go anywhere else. I already recommend her to my friends and family and recommend her to anyone reading this review.

By far the best coach Ive ever trained with. Sergio takes the time to genuinely take care of and coach his athletes in the best possible manner. He knows when you have your good and bad days, but always makes you feel confident about your training. He literally taught me how to properly lift, starting from scratch. Focusing on developement of good form and technique on the bench, squat, and deadlift. Also shared the sport of competition powerlifting with me and ever since Ive been hooked. Having done my first meet a year ago with Sergios guidince, it went smoothly and now weve added on nearly 200 pounds to my total in a year. Really great guy and phenomenal coach!

Sergio is an outstanding coach. I look up to him as a trainer, lifter, and business owner. He gives all his lifters and clients proper attention and all customized programming to fit their needs. For example, I have tightness in my hips, and Sergio has taken the time to learn about how my body responds to certain lifts, taking care of my hip health. I have had nothing but success with his coaching and training. I look forward to working with him for a long time throughout my powerlifting career. If youre looking for a trainer/coach to give you the attention you need, with personalized programming, go to Sergio. You will be very pleased with your results.
