What is Surpass Yourself™?

What is Surpass yourself?

surpass yourself™ is more than just a fitness program. It’s more than a slogan. It's more than a brand. It’s more than an approach to training and coaching. It's a commitment to continuous growth and excellence. It’s a mentality, a philosophy, a way of life.

It stems from my highly ambitious and self-critical nature.

It stems from my extreme perfectionism.

It stems from my ruthless self-accountability, always holding myself to the highest standards.

It stems from my innate, unrelenting drive and unwavering determination in the pursuit of growth, self-betterment, and physical and mental excellence.

To always aspire to be more.

To always strive to be better.

To be grateful, but never satisfied.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL, ORDINARY PERSONAL TRAINING

Here we don't do random exercises every time, without any thought or purpose behind them.

Here we don't work out just to sweat, get tired or sore.

Here we don’t just try to lose a few pounds.

Here we don’t train to just have bigger biceps, get more “toned” or have better-shaped glutes.

Here we don't settle for mediocrity.

NO.

Here we aim higher, we strive for more, we aspire to be more.

Here we train with a purpose, a clear goal and a specific plan on how to accomplish it in the quickest, safest and most effective way.

Here we commit on leaving our old selves behind and forging new ones.

Here we embrace a new lifestyle.

Here we learn how to take charge of our health.

Here we create healthy, sustainable habits.

Here we focus on mastering our bodies and our minds.

Here we work on becoming better, stronger and more capable in every aspect, physically and mentally, so we can create the life of our dreams.
