“It’s hard to imagine now that this is the same person that hated exercising in school, so if i can do it so can you ;)”
Charmaine, a professional in her 40s with a demanding career in financial services, had tried countless ways to manage her weight and wellness over the years—dieting, running, yoga—but lasting results were elusive. She also faced the challenges of borderline high blood pressure and the toll of constant stress on her mood.
Two years ago, she took a leap and joined Surge, seeking strength and a sustainable path to health that could serve her well into the future. Surge’s approach—focused on building strength as a foundation and creating real, lasting lifestyle changes—was exactly what Charmaine needed. She wanted to be her healthiest self, not only for herself but for her family.
The results have been nothing short of life-changing. Charmaine has lost 17 kg and reduced her body fat by 27%, all while gaining 8 kg of muscle. Her blood pressure is now at a healthier level, and her mood has improved significantly. Her initial goal was to achieve a single pull-up, and now she’s doing multiple weighted pull-ups!
She credits her remarkable transformation to the expert guidance and encouragement of her trainer, Paul, who has consistently believed in her potential, even on the days she doubted herself. With Surge’s supportive community and her own determination, Charmaine now looks forward to every workout—something she never thought possible as someone who once dreaded exercise.
Her inspiring journey proves that meaningful change is possible, no matter where you start.
