The entertainment industry's demands, from late-night shootings and tapings to numerous commitments and activities, can take a toll on anyone.

But not for veteran actor Piolo Pascual, who, despite the rigors of his busy schedule, remains youthful as ever.

Thanks to Surge Fitness + Lifestyle, Piolo keeps himself in tip-top shape to keep up with the heavy demands of his work.

"Despite my busy schedule, I always make time to prioritize my fitness and health. By doing so, I can present the best version of myself to my fans and the characters I portray, whether in movies or on television," Piolo explained.

Surge Fitness + Lifestyle, a gym network for the capital region urbanites of all ages and middle-class lifestyles, allows Piolo to maintain his regimen in any of its nine locations in Metro Manila.

Surge has two branches each in Makati City and Alabang, Muntinlupa. The facility at Estancia Mall in Capitol Commons is just a few kilometers from the branch in Libis, Quezon City.

The three other QC locations are at M-Place in South Triangle, another in Holy Spirit-Commonwealth, and at the Fairview Terraces in northern Quezon City. Opening this Q4 2024 is the latest club in Gateway Mall, which is currently on a pre-selling membership rate.

Networked membership lets clients manage their personal gym time better, especially during the weekdays. No need for keycards or IDs because of the 24/7 Secured Facial Recognition Access system across all branches.

Each Surge facility is designed to provide quality services to members across age groups, from kids to seniors.

Every Surge facility has a wide range of machines and workout stations for serious bodybuilders and athletes. Each branch is designed to draw fitness buffs and their families living and working in the surrounding residential-commercial district. There are many rows of equipment for personal routines and special spaces for group workouts.

While using the equipment, SFL members can wear VR goggles, so they can be transported to a virtual reality meant to enhance physical activity and make workouts more engaging. The VR experience provides a more enjoyable and immersive experience, making exercise feel less like a chore.

To let each member monitor daily or weekly progress, exclusive at SFL are 3D body scanners that measure not just weight and body-mass index, but also scan for posture and range of movement.

Surge is also the first and only fully heart-rate monitored facility in the country, making its members well-informed to achieve better results from workout regimens efficiently.

Aside from the well-trained fitness staff on duty, members are also assisted by “ALI” or Automated Lifestyle Instructor, which serves as an all-in-one workout buddy during each tailor-fit exercise session.

This innovative fitness tech merges expert coaching with top-notch robotics.  ALI adjusts to the member’s personal fitness needs and gives instant feedback and motivation. ALI guides the member with diverse workouts ranging from strength to cardio to focus on fitness goals.

SFL IntelliRun treadmills are equipped with an augmented reality visual simulator, sensors for joint balance, and posture guidance. While on the treadmill, the member is immersed in virtual landscapes to make the walk or run an enjoyable and exhilarating adventure.

For breaks before, between, and after workouts, SFL has the Tasty Habit Cafe for healthy refreshments and snacks that can be enjoyed by both young adults and the young at heart.

Surge also has a “Playzone” for billiards, PlayStation, and board games. Sports facilities like basketball, bowling lanes, and golf simulator are also available. Surge also has co-working space with free Wi-Fi in case members must pause to take care of urgent academics, business, or work.

For children, SFL has Surge Junior where appropriate activities are made fun and match the natural movements and interests of children.

For adults, persons with disabilities, and seniors, SFL has rehab and recovery treatments administered by licensed therapists who use Percussive Gun Therapy, Kinesio Taping, and corrective therapy.
