SURGE 101
The Elite 50 Program.

Throughout the years I’ve spent a lot of time learning from business and fitness coaches online.

One thing I always noticed…

The coaches and systems that stood out the most always had a book.

And honestly?
I was hooked every time.

The books made things simple.
They gave people a business system to follow.

That’s when I decided I wanted to be the guy with a book.

But I didn’t want to write a book about an extreme fitness program.

I wanted to build something for busy adults.

Because over the last 13 years I started noticing something interesting…

Almost every new client walks into the studio the same way:
motivated
excited
ready to go

But over time people usually fall into 3 groups.

Group A:
They train consistently, see results, and never really lose their way.

Group B:
They get results FAST… but eventually fall apart because they’re chasing extremes, fad diets, and unsustainable routines.

Group C:
They work hard in the gym, get stronger, and improve… but still struggle because they’re missing everything outside the workouts.

That’s where Elite 50 came from.

Elite 50 tells people exactly where to put their energy.

How often to train.
How much daily activity matters.
What a successful week actually looks like.
How to build consistency without all the garbage fad diets and all or nothing thinking.

The best part?

It’s simple.

No more guessing.
No more extremes.
No more starting over every Monday.

Elite 50 completely changed the game at the studio.

SURGE 101
Target Market.

Every service business has a target market.

Honestly… for years I tried to make Surge work for everyone.

That’s one of the reasons we still offer personal training today. Personal training allows us to fully customize programs around an individual’s goals, injuries, schedule, and lifestyle.

But over time I realized something:
the people succeeding most in Surge all had a lot in common.

They were busy adults.

Parents running from work to practices and games.
People balancing careers, stress, schedules, and family life.

That changed everything for me.

Surge started becoming less about “hard workouts” and more about building a complete system for busy adults.

That’s when I introduced the after work 30 minute sessions.

Because busy adults don’t need to spend 2 hours in the gym.

They need to check the box.

Strength.
Cardio.
Balance.
Structure.
Consistency.
Done.

That was a huge turning point for the program.

We built sessions starting at 3:55pm right after work because real life matters.

The goal was creating a program that could completely stand on its own.

A program people could actually sustain.

That mindset eventually set the stage for the biggest addition yet…

Elite 50.

SURGE 101
The First Major Improvement.

When Surge first launched it consisted of three different workout videos with different work/rest ratios. I called these “phases.”

The workouts mixed cardio and strength together in a circuit style format.

For example:
battle ropes into suspension trainer squats and lunges… then onto the next station.

The workouts were hard.
Fun.
High energy.

But over time I realized something…

No matter how I programmed them, they always felt like cardio circuits.

And while that style of training works, a great program also needs:
✔️ progression
✔️ measurable outcomes
✔️ structure
✔️ purpose

I wanted more for the program.

So in 2022 I completely rebuilt Surge from the ground up.

That’s when I introduced separate cardio and strength days.

If we’re working on cardio…
we’re ALL IN on cardio.

If we’re working on strength…
we’re REALLY training strength.

Then I built three brand new phases into the program:

Phase 1: Reps
lighter weight / higher reps

Phase 2: Tempo
(literally everything has a tempo)

Phase 3: Pauses
heavier weight / lower reps

This completely changed the game.

The program became more specific, more progressive, and more measurable.

We still bring back the original circuits every few weeks because they’re part of the DNA of Surge…

But now the system is built solid and can stand alone as a one stop shop.

SURGE 101
The Expansion.

In 2018 after almost a year of searching… I found our current location on Benner Pike and signed the lease.

Up until this point Surge workouts were mostly one on one or very small groups.

This move changed everything.

Now the challenge was:
How do I take the Surge system and build it for groups of 10-12 people while still keeping the coaching, structure, and consistency?

So I went to work.

More battle ropes.
More rowers.
More dumbbells.
Medicine balls.
Cones.
Equipment everywhere.

My wife and I built the entire gym ourselves in about two weeks.

Painting.
Flooring.
Mirrors.
Logos.
Windows.
Equipment.
Front desk.
Everything.

Honestly… it was chaos.
But exciting chaos.

Then in January 2018 we launched the very first official Surge group workout.

And it was awesome.

That was the moment Surge started becoming more than just workouts.

It started becoming a real system and community.

Once I introduced Surge to my clients at the time… it kind of took off.

I went back and rebuilt the original video into something more professional with better sounds, clearer timers, and smoother transitions. That’s when I officially decided to call it Surge.

After that I made two more programs:
Surge Core Blast and Surge Combat.

Core Blast was focused on core training and honestly… I still use parts of it today during personal training sessions.

Surge Combat was a boxing style workout using gloves and hand pads.

Before long almost all of my personal training sessions were using some version of a Surge workout.

The biggest thing the timer system gave me was freedom to coach.

I didn’t have to constantly stare at a stopwatch or worry about timing work and rest periods.

I could actually focus on the people in front of me.

Coaching improved.
Workouts became more consistent.
The program kept evolving around the people walking into the studio.

That’s still the goal today.

SURGE 101
Built for Busy Adults.

Surge officially started back in 2014.

At the time HIIT training was becoming a huge thing in fitness. I started running workouts at our small studio in Bellefonte using battle ropes, cone drills, balance work, and timed circuits.

The funny part is… Surge actually started by accident.

I wanted to do the workouts myself, but timing everything while working out was a mess.

All the gyms had these fancy digital timers that cost around $400. I had just started the business and definitely didn’t have $400.

So I made my own.

I taught myself how to create timer videos on my computer and uploaded them onto my iPad. The first Surge workout was basically countdown timers and sound effects telling me when to work, stop, and rotate.

One of my clients walked in early one day and asked what I was doing.

I said:
“Honestly… just trying to survive these workouts.”

She tried it.

The rest is history.

MVP Week has become the best onboarding offer we’ve ever run.

Not because it’s a free trial.
Not because it’s a gimmick.

Because people finally get clarity.

You get a full week inside the SURGE program, a one-on-one Elite 50 breakdown, and a system that tells you exactly where to put your energy.

That’s why people are seeing results.

We don’t just hand people workouts.
We give them a plan.
