I joined up with this gym about a month ago. Ive been to other gyms but this one is by far the most clean and friendly. Ive never once felt uncomfortable there. I would recommend going to Surge To New Levels Gym over all the bigger chain gyms any day.

Sergio is great as Is paco. First boxing session and was made to feel welcome and will be going back for sure

Easily the best gym I have had the privilege of joining. Love the specialty equipment. Must try!

Hardcore gym vibe. Not your normie gym. Come here if you want high quality strength equipment. Performance is the name of the game here, not big box wellness.

Honestly, best powerlifting/strongman gym around town. It is easily one of the top gyms in the midwest area within their own category. Owners are always there to help and listen. Everyone is happy to help. Best part of all theyve got everything a strongman could possibly ask for.

Gym has really good equipment for strongman and powerlifting! Does not have a commercial gym feel, which depending on what youre looking for might be a pro or a con.

Best gym and investment ever. Second home. You will be taken care of!

Clearly the best powerlifting gym in the Midwest 🤩

Hands down the best gym in the state with even better people running it. I’ve been with Sergio and Jackie since the first Surge and it’s because of how great they are. It’s crazy how fast the gym grew but it never lost its uniqueness. Great members, environment, and most importantly equipment. If you’re into powerlifting, strongman, hell even CrossFit come check the gym out and see what I’m talking about!

Best powerlifting gym in the greater Chicago area by miles. Highly recommend, Sergio is an incredible owner that takes the time to make sure everyone feels at home and welcome.

Excellent equipment and very good people! A pleasure to work out at their facility

Sergio was very accommodating and friendly even though I was only there for a short time. This gym has the top tier equipment for powerlifting and a great community. I plan to visit any time Im in town.

Awesome facility! Very well thought out lay out with incredible equipment geared towards complete strength development! Sergio spared no expense to give his clients this gem of a place!

Definitely a must see gym come from yokosuka, Japan to this gym there none like it . Feels like home away from home

Amazing facility with such a great community!

No matter your fitness level or goals, you will have amazing results under the guidance of Sergio. Truly thankful to be part of this wonderful community of lifters!

Nice well run gym.

Great atmosphere and great owners. You can tell they add a lot of love and time into their gym.

Surge to New Levels has such an awesome atmosphere!! Everyone is extremely friendly and encouraging. I started training and seeing Melody here. She has helped me achieve goals I never thought I could. She has taught me so much when it comes to lifting, and I have never felt stronger. I started squatting with nothing, and I reached a new PR of 165. I already see such an improvement in myself, and it is the best feeling in the world. I’m so thankful for her, and so thankful I found a gym where I can feel comfortable lifting!

Just moved back in the area and I’m glad to have found this gym. Open 24 hours, private and great prices. Great Owner/Manager who is very professional, sincere, and communicated to me the gym membership options. Will come again!!

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.

Extremely knowledgeable coaches they know what theyre doing. They teach you the proper stance and technique for a more efficient and safe workout. Ive been training with Sergio for over a year now. Im extremely stronger physically and mentally from when i first started training. Both trainers are extremely nice and friendly i truly would recommend people to check this gym out. You wont be disappointed.

Big, spacious, tons of weights to get the job done and its clean!

I began personal, one-on-one, training with Jackie about one month ago and I absolutely love it. Jackie is a personable, wonderful trainer who will help you reach your goals. I look forward to the days I get to train with her. She will push you but always check in to make sure youre okay and that everything feels good. The gym is always clean and welcoming. Such an amazing environment to reach new goals in.

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!

I have had a private trainer in addition to 3 trainers through a gym, and Sergio is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with. The gym is laid out very efficiently and Sergio has been very attentive to what my personal fitness goals are and pushes me accordingly. Ive seen so much improvement in my strength and appearance. I will be coming here for a long time!

Surge to New Levels is an outstanding gym! Sergio and Jackie have created a gym atmosphere unlike any in the area and their passion and pride shows. Surge is well-equipped, clean, professional, encouraging, supportive, and welcoming to anyone regardless of age, ability, or gender. No matter your fitness level or goals, you will have amazing results under the guidance of Sergio. Truly thankful to be part of this wonderful community of lifters!

Sergio has great knowledge which he is always sharing and instilling in his clients. He’s a great trainer that truly cares about your physical health. Every workout is different and challenging and leaves you excited and pumped to come back for the next. Great gym, great experience!

Sergio is the BEST! He customizes each workout so that it is challenging but never too strenuous. Her gets results. I have seen physical changes in my shape over the few months I have been working with him, but more importantly, I am so much stronger in everyday life. Also, he is a genuinely nice and humble person so you are never intimidated - always encouraged. Dont hesitate to call him if you want to gain strength and confidence.

My sister and I have been going here for about 6 months, its great! Weve noticed differences in our weight and ability to lift heavier week by week! We commute from Midway Chicago area but its worth it, Sergio and Jackie create such a positive atmosphere that keeps us coming back. Sergio works great with our schedules and knows how to push us to a new level.

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.

Great place to train. Owner rocks and obviously cares about the gym.

What can you not love about having 24/7access to some of the best lifting equipment around? Place is clean, they have every bar and plate imaginable AND if youre the first/only one there, you get to blast your own music. A major plus in my eye, haha. Owners are super motivated and accommodating. Members are nice and stay out of each others way.

Everyone is super nice... I’m training one on one with Jackie and she is amazing! She motivates me to push myself and do more I mean if you’re looking for a personal trainer she is the best! My body is like in pain but good pain. I can’t wait for months from now to see how my body transforms. I highly recommend!

First Time signing up with a personal trainer. Sergio makes the gym environment extremely comfortable for first timers, allowing us to understand how progress is measured in terms of what we are looking for in sessions. Do not be fooled by the fact there are not many machines. You would be surprised how much your own body can do with the exercises Sergio has you do!!! I have been at the gym since January 2017 and have already lost close to 5lbs, consistency is key and Sergio helps you stay on track with your own fitness.

I absolutely love this gym! Ive only been coming here for a few months now and Im obsessed! The environment is so supportive and inviting and all the members are extremelyWelcoming! Sergio and Jackie are by far the best coaches and cater to what ever your fitness goals may be! 10/10 recommend this gym to everyone!

Awesome gym! I have been working out with Sergio for about 6 months now (only once a week) and I can’t believe the progress I have made in such a short time! I feel stronger each week, and have PRs to prove it! I can’t imagine how strong I’d be if I could fit more days into my schedule! Sergio takes the time to truly understand your fitness goals and works hard to make a fitness plan that is best for YOU.Also, the gym is super clean and very well maintained.Highly, highly recommend.

The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around. Ive never been in a gym with a better vibe. I Have been working out here for 3 months and plan on training here for years to come. Sergio and his staff get it done! No matter if your goal is to simply stay fit or to train like a hardcore athlete, Surge To New Levels has what youre looking for.

Cant say enough, this place is the real deal !

Ive dealt with many injuries during my life time and Ive always wanted to be a powerlifter. Sergio and his team create a fantastic atmosphere. The gym and their equipment is up to date and the place is definitely kept nice. Sergios personal training is very helpful as well! Definitely recommend this place!

Great gym!

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!

Great place to work out! Sergio and Jackie are always friendly and helpful. Ive been seeing Sergio and he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain and demonstrate exercises while still pushing me and packing a lot into each hour long workout. The gym has a great environment and I always look forward to going.

Sergio is a phenomenal coach. We have been working together with online coaching for almost 1 year. Sergio has absolutely built my confidence coming from a lower back injury and he addresses all my concerns. I am now deadlifting again after a 1-year hiatus and stronger than ever. He also makes sure I have proper technique with weekly form checks. I highly recommend him!

Sergio helped me prepare for both my first and second powerlifting meets and I couldnt have asked for a better coach. What makes Sergio a great coach is that hes an even better friend and truly cares about his clients. Sergio knows how to be an encouraging coach without putting people down and never has any negativity. No matter how off I was during a session he remained positive and reminded that I could do it, and supported me throughout. I would recommend Sergio to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat. He truly is a great coach with so much knowledge to offer others.

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.

I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Seriously I cant. The equipment is phenomenal, the people are unbelievably motivating and nive, and the owners are wonderful. If you want to get strong go here. If you want to get even stronger work with Melody. Believe me, that this gym is something special.

Sergio Raul Luna has helped me immensely with my big 3 lifts and becoming more confident in my strength. I highly recommend anyone to him up if youre interested in coaching/training for power lifting/competition, and/or weight loss/General fitness. You will not be disappointed!

I just started going here and seeing Jackie. Ive already felt so much more motivated to focus on my fitness! Jackie is very professional and extremely attentive and supportive!! I definitely recommend this gym!

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!!

I’ve visited Surge to New Levels and am always amazed by the state of the art equipment and most importantly the atmosphere the owners bring to this gym. I wish I lived closer otherwise I would name this my home gym. I shall keep visiting and recommending this gym over and over again. Oh and by the way, that Kabuki Squat bar A++++ thank you for having this bar in your gym.

This is a well run machine, the staff just needs support in getting some things fixed around the gym.

Sergio is an all around awesome person who is driven, knowledgeable, and cares about his clients. I have never been serious about the gym until i started going to Sergio. In the past year I have smashed PRs and put on 20 pounds of muscle. Sergio got me to love working out again and I cannot thank him enough for it!

Sergio keeps me accountable and I’m seeing results. Rates are reasonable. Would recommend to anyone looking to get in shape!

Sergio is incredible at what he does! Hes truly invested in each of his clients success. He created a workout and eating plan for me that challenges both my mind and body. You truly feel like your success is his success. He really listens to his clients. I appreciate how he adjusts workouts depending on injuries, soreness, etc. Give him a shot! Youll really be glad you did!

I have been a client of Sergios for over 2 years and I would reccomend him to absolutely anyone! Sergios guidance in strength training and healthy eating has allowed me to see the results and feel more confident while still always strive to be better and stronger. He is humble with his knowledge and knows how to give his client the extra push needed without being intimidating. To me this is the key to a great trainer. Sergio has such a great passion for his job and is truely amazing at what he does!

Awesome experience at this location both trainers are fantastic and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Highly, highly recommend. A great start for anyone at any fitness level.

Great personal trainer. Very knowledgable person and the way he actually helps is astonishing. Most trainers now a days will just think up of one workout plan and apply it to everyone, Surge To New Levels LLC actually thinks of a plan to help each individual person and it actually works! I recommend him.

Great enviroment for making progress not only are the trainers knowledgeable and very experienced but the members too, all of them add to the environment and experience in some way, whether it just giving a spot or rallying behind someone on a big lift. The owner is also always getting new equipment and asking for peoples suggestions. It has everything i need to meet my goals

Such a supportive and friendly atmosphere at this gym! Sergio and Jackie are so knowledgeable yet some of the most humble people Ive met. By far the best gym Ive been to!

Surge To New Levels is super well stocked with the best equipment Ive ever seen in a gym or worked with. Sergio, the owner, is knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. If you are either interested in powerlifting or strength and conditioning, definitely check this place out!

Sergio and Jackie are friendly and honest people. The gym is full of high-end equipment, and comes with a great atmosphere. Its a great place for me to bring clients!

Love the facility & the team members there. Sergio is an awesome trainer and overall individual. I enjoy my workouts with him .

Truly amazing coach!! He has helped me a lot. Hes been really patient and helpful when things dont go as planned which is amazing because I get frustrated easily! Overall amazing and would definitely recommend!!

Started with Sergio month ago lost 5 pounds. Great strength training place very affordable body fat went down.. all over 5 star .Sergio is great .

Gym has power lifting equipment in excellent shape. Personal training is affordable. Members are encouraging to one another.

This place is great!!! I truly enjoy the atmosphere! Great mixture of bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strongman. Ownership and management look out for there customers needs.

My 2 bffs go to Sergio and brought me along to one of there sessions and I completely loved it. Sergio is a great trainer he was patient and taught me a whole bunch of New exercises. My bodys sore but feels stronger already.

Great gym atmosphere! Definitely changing the ballgame around from friendly staff to even friendlier people who workout there.

This gym is the best! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced lifter this gym is the one for you! Sergio is a great personal trainer and the environment is amazing to be around!

Sergio is very comfortable and easy to work with. I am very happy with the service I got till now.. looking forward to reach my goal with his help.

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!!!

An awesome gym ! For whatever your fitness goals may be ! Started training here only a few months ago and I love the atmosphere and the equipment ! Sergio is very knowledgeable and He has helped me out so much whether its one on one or group training ! Highly recommend you to stop by and see it for yourself !

The best powerlifting atmosphere out there! in addition to the amazing members, Sergio and Jackie are absolutely fantastic.

Sergio is an awesome owner who is always their for any questions or help you need. This gym has everything you need in a powerlifting gym without a doubt i highly reccomend this gym and especially their new power passes 25$ for 4 Guest passes.

Surge is easily the best gym around here. A plethora of High quality equipment that is continuously expanding, its 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, its always great to see Sergio around lifting and helping with other members. Whether youre a powerlifter or just looking for a good gym, Surge is where you should be going.

Sergio is a great coach and mentor. He is extremely knowledgable about strength training and is very passionate about the sport of powerlifting. His goal is to get you to perform as best as you can, and that never changes. Whether it is in one specific lift or improving your overall total, he always listens to the clients needs and tailors programs to what he thinks will best fit the person. Weve been working together with online coaching for just over a year now and I have grown so much as a lifter in that time. Weve dramatically improved my squat, bench, and deadlift. He is extremely helpful as a coach, and I highly recommend him!

Great environment and the right amount of equipment for lifters and cardio based exercising . Lastly, great staff who are there to support and answer any questions .

This gym is what powerlifting is all about. Obviously the gym equipment is why youre going. They have the stuff you want and need, that you cant find anywhere else. But youll keep coming back bease of the people. The owner Sergio is one of the nicest and most humble guys. If youre a powerlifter in the Northwest Burbs and havent gone in yet your missing out!

Sergio is an excellent coach. He is knowledgable, patient and above all very motivating. Would reccomend his services to any and all who are looking to improve!

Great atmosphere to work out and also the staff and members are very helpful it’s like having a second family everybody is close and enjoys helping out one another to achieve their goals

This place is phenomenal, great equipment, well organized, staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing facility, great owners, everyone is so kind and helpful! Impossible not to get stronger in such a fantastic atmosphere!

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.

Solid powerlifting gym with great people

I have been trianing here with Aditya. The gym has great equipement and i would definitely recommend it!

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.

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 nothing short of an excellent coach. He helped me train around a long nagging back injury, and helped refine my technique and motivated me to hit a huge PR on my deadlift.

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!

I have nothing but great things to say. I was introduced into powerlifting through Sergio and started with a 275 squat, 175 bench, and 335 deadlift. Within over a year, his coaching and experience has gotten my squat to 400, 235 bench, and a 460 deadlift! I know theres more to come and room to grow. If you want to be strong & get into better shape I highly recommend him as a coach! His dedication and passion shows in the sport of powerlifting. #surgetonewlevels
