VERONICA
TRAINER
We knew that we wanted Veronica as a part of the Surge Kickboxing team as soon as she completed her first workout at the gym. She gave it her all and kicked some serious butt, and we knew right away that she would be an asset as a trainer in the gym. Since coming on as a trainer, she has developed great relationships with the members, and also helped push them to new fitness levels. We are grateful to have Veronica as a part of the Surge Family!
darryl
CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST
Darryl, an athlete his entire life, shifted his perception of fitness and nutrition upon moving to Colorado 8 years ago. In that time, he has become a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach and is currently a Candidate to be Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. He is also a Level 2 Certified Active Fascial Unwinding Therapist and has 6 years of martial arts experience including Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Self-Defense and Reality Based Training.
Darryl believes Nutrition is multifaceted and that it consists of three different pillars; science, psychology and spirituality. He finds that too frequently, only one of the pillars is focused on, while the other two are neglected. This creates an imbalance and inhibits optimal, ongoing progress and everlasting results. Darryl helps with weight loss by focusing on our relationship with food, and he is here to help you achieve the transformation that you seek.
