We Found A Cool New Gym To Reignite Fitness Motivations

Even with 2023 now in full swing, many are still gearing up to start new fitness journeys to lose weight after the holiday binge. With the first quarter of the year, resolutions to get fit are common. And along with them is the search for a new workout hub to transition to, especially coming from the workout-from-home pandemic situation.

We've found just the perfect place to shake up your exercise routine and reignite your fitness motivation: the fast-growing premium fitness lifestyle center Surge Fitness + Lifestyle. Now with six operating branches across the metro, they're well equipped to accompany many Filipinos in their journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Celebrities and personalities like Sunshine Cruz and her kids Angelina, Sam, and Chesca; Zanjoe Marudo; and LA Tenorio can attest to the quality fitness and training programs, as well as the clean facilities, of Surge Fitness + Lifestyle. The facilities are spacious, too, ensuring social distancing and overall better sanitation, hygiene, and comfortability for one's workout.     

To monitor exercise intensity, they have heart rate monitored facilities. The interchangeable heart rate monitors they use are wearable in three ways, so you can switch between the chest, wrist and arm, depending on your choice of physical activity. Their app helps you connect with others, compete with yourself and your friends, and achieve fitness goals with real life data that’s tailored to you. 

If working out with family or friends is your thing, they also have a group class studio where you can sign up for a spin or GX class. Surge Fitness + Lifestyle offers  interactive cycling to better motivate gym members to become fitter and healthier. Connecting members in the studio and at home in an immersive workout experience, their system also tracks and analyzes a variety of performance attributes such as heart rate, power, cadence, speed, distance, energy, calories and more!

One feature they take pride in is their Cardio Cage, a 360-degree multi sensory training system that develops coordination, as well as improves reaction time, speed, and agility. Surge Fitness + Lifestyle explains: "As players strike the targets, the Cardio Cage is recording their reaction time between the initial signal and the physical contact. An overall average reaction time is shown at the end of the session, along with the total number of targets that were successfully hit out of the total number of targets presented. Players can track their progress through multiple speed levels and programs designed to enhance brain fitness and performance."

They offer Virtual Reality workouts that bring fun, connectivity, and competition to their cardio machines, such as bicycles, rowing machines, and ellipticals.

Their Surge Jr transforms any space into an active and immersive educational environment where kids are engaged physically, intellectually, and socio-emotionally. 

If you want to take a break from exercising, you may do so at their sauna or Play Zone (where you can play billiards, video games and other fun activities). 

If squeezing in a workout in between your work meetings is what works for your schedule, you'll be delighted to know that Surge also has a co-working space. And if you want to reward yourself with a healthy meal post-workout, their Tasty Habit healthy cafe is there for you to try (hey, it's open to non-members, too!). 

Working out in a gym offers a different kind of fun and satisfaction, but if you'd rather workout in the comforts of your home, the Surge on Demand and Surge at Home are worth trying. With Surge on Demand, you can workout on your own with their varied workouts and programs available in their mobile app. With Surge at Home, members will have online access to have group classes. 

Surge Fitness + Lifestyle is located in Holy Spirit Drive and MPlace Mall in Quezon City, Glorietta 3 and Jupiter Street in Makati, and Westgate Commerce Avenue and Festival Mall in Alabang.
