Connor came to Surge already in decent shape. He worked out regularly, ate relatively well, and valued his health. Yet despite years of effort, he felt stuck. Progress felt unclear, and he knew he had more potential to be stronger, leaner, and more disciplined. After relocating to Singapore, changes in routine and lifestyle gave him space to reflect. A casual beach volleyball game introduced him to Sam, one of Surge’s co-founders, and also highlighted how much further he could still go. That moment made it clear that maintaining was no longer enough. He wanted real progress.
Before committing, Connor carefully explored several personal training options. What set Surge apart was his first conversation with his coach, Darren. Instead of rushing into workouts, Darren took time to understand Connor’s goals, lifestyle, and habits, including areas Connor had not fully considered himself. Training quickly felt different. Sessions focused on proper form, structured programming, and addressing weaknesses Connor had previously avoided. With consistent guidance, accountability, and regular check ins, Connor was pushed safely beyond his comfort zone while still balancing a demanding career and an active social life.
Over nine months, the results became undeniable. Connor lost 7.5 kg and 5.5 percent body fat, developed visible muscle definition, and gained noticeably more energy throughout the day. His sleep improved, his immune system strengthened, and he found himself getting sick far less often. Most importantly, his confidence shifted. For the first time, he genuinely liked how he looked. Training at Surge became more than a physical change. The discipline built in the gym carried into his mindset, focus, and overall sense of purpose.
“I would strongly recommend Surge to anyone who feels stuck, especially if you are already working out consistently but not seeing real progress. For me, the biggest difference was not effort, but direction. I also want people to know that real results do not mean giving up everything you enjoy. With the right coach, balance is absolutely achievable and sustainable. If you ever feel not fit enough or not ready, let that go. Surge meets you exactly where you are and supports you every step of the way. This journey was not just about changing my body, but about becoming more intentional, confident, and grounded in every part of my life.”
