In a bold step to redefine the Filipino fitness journey, Surge Fitness + Lifestyle has launched RESET: The Weight Is Over — a six-month, results-driven transformation challenge designed to create real, lasting impact on health, confidence, and quality of life. Combining the emotional storytelling of transformation shows like The Biggest Loser with science-backed fitness programming, RESET is not just a competition — it’s a call to action for Filipinos seeking a healthier, stronger future. Over the course of six months, participants will undergo personalized training, nutritional guidance, and community-driven accountability — all under the expert care of Surge’s elite coaching team.
“ RESET isn’t about short-term weight loss — it’s about reshaping mindsets, building healthy habits, and changing lives. We’re raising the bar for what structured, ethical transformation programs should look like in the Philippines,” said Surge Fitness + Lifestyle Owner and CEO Raymond Delos Santos. RESET is open to Surge members who commit to a minimum 12-session Personal Training package. Each participant undergoes a Surge 3D Body Scanner and submits official “before” photos as a baseline. The competition unfolds in four strategic phases:
• Phase 1 (May–August 16): Weekly / Bi-weekly fat percentage check-ins; bottom 50% eliminated
• Phase 2 (August 17–September 13): Remaining participants continue bi-weekly weigh-ins
• Phase 3 (September 14–October 18): Top 10 finalists selected based on total fat percentage lost
• Phase 4 (October 19–November 15): Finalists undergo weekly weigh-ins; Grand Winner determined using a body-fat percentage reduction formula – Starting Body Fat % – Final Body Fat %) ÷ Starting Body Fat %] × 100
With a Php100,000 grand prize for the winning team — awarded to both the client and their Personal Trainer — RESET offers powerful incentives while maintaining strict safety protocols. Dangerous practices like dehydration, starvation, or extreme dieting are grounds for disqualification. As of press time, over 70 trainer-client pairs have signed up, signaling high engagement and growing excitement across the Surge network. The Philippines continues to grapple with rising obesity and sedentary lifestyle rates. RESET directly addresses this issue by offering a safe, structured, and inspiring path toward health. It stands as a model of responsible transformation — anchored in education, expert coaching, and long-term impact.
Delos Santos adds, “RESET reflects Surge’s mission to empower individuals through structured support, science, and accountability. It’s not just about the finish line — it’s about building confidence, resilience, and community along the way.” As the Premium Choice of the Elite and Home of the Champions, Surge Fitness + Lifestyle continues to lead the industry with top-tier facilities, proven programs, and a deep commitment to sustainable wellness. Registration for RESET: The Weight Is Over is until August 16, 2025; however, late registration may affect participant's progress. The grand finale of the challenge will be held on November 15, 2025.
