Fantastic experience: I came to elite edge feeling unmotivated and needing a fresh start, so I signed up for the 515 challenge, which helped get me closer to my goals. The coaches helped set small goals to reach a big goal...The coaches greet you with so much energy and help you remember why you started to begin with. They help correct your form, and they always demo the movements before we start. They really are here to help us make goals!! SouthSide!!!

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 5 week challenge, I feel better than ever. I really enjoy the environment, I love the motivation RJ and Hannah give me when I’m doubting of my self. The workouts are really fun, you never get board because they are different, each day you walk their you can guarantee you will give your 100%+. And this is just the beginning of my weight loss. I will continue working on my goals and I will not stop until I meet them.

Fantastic experience: I’ve officially completed yet another challenge with Elite, the 515 challenge! I love seeking out these opportunities because they constantly push me to grow. Each challenge strengthens my discipline, boots my motivation, and plays a big role in my overall health journey. S/o to RJ, Hannah and all the coaches that push you to do better. Couldn’t have completed the challenge without your words of motivation

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! Both coaches are great, and willing to help with any workouts that you may need help with! I loved working out here. I completed my 6 week challenge and lost a little over the 20lbs that needed to be lost! The environment here is good!

Kat 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge has been a complete game changer for me.After having my twins it was difficult for me to lose my baby weight.Since joining Elite Edge and incorporating high intensity cardio and weight training I have been able to lose over 12% body fat and learned how to fuel my body to see results. Bryce, RJ and Hannah are amazing and so encouraging. I look forward to every class and I am so glad I made the decision to join.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Emily! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our coaches and workout options. Your support motivates us to continue providing an awesome experience.

Alana W 10 months ago

Negative experience: I loved the gym when it was in Cedar Rapids, however the gym closed in June 2024 suddenly, due to issues with coaches I paid for the full year. I was told I’d receive prorated amount back. After numerous emails, Joe told me I was next on the list back in September. It is now January 2025. I would like my money.

Elite Edge Transformation Center

We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced, Alana. Your concerns regarding the refund are important to us, and we will prioritize addressing this matter as soon as possible. Please rest assured that we aim to resolve this issue quickly. Thank you for your patience as we work through this.

linette ramirez 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6-week challenge. I managed to lose 7% body fat, but I am not finished with my journey just yet. I couldn’t achieve these results without RJ and Hannah. RJ has the best words of encouragement and pushes everyone to their full potential. I appreciate Hannah for being very attentive and checking in to make sure I have reached my goal over the past few weeks. The gym environment is very positive and welcoming. The workouts are a lot of fun after you get into the routine of things. I am so much closer to the results I am looking for thanks to Elite Edge. 100% recommend!!

Elite Edge Transformation Center

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience, Linette! We're thrilled to hear about your progress during the 6-week challenge. RJ and Hannah are indeed exceptional at what they do, and we’re glad their support made a difference for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you continue your journey at Elite Edge!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Amazing ♥️ I have been a member for a couple years and I love it! Such a family environment Hannah is amazing and so is RJ and Bryce do miss Lucas! Such a positive impact they have had on my life if you are thinking about doing it just so it!

Elite Edge Transformation Center

Thanks so much for the review Allie! We love having you in the EE fam and are so proud of you and your hard work!

Fantastic experience: Whether you are a well-oiled machine or just starting your fitness, I can't recommend this place highly enough. Hannah, RJ, and Lucas all do a great job creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere. I'm happy to say that I'm down 45 lbs in just 12 short weeks, and I just signed up for the next year. The program here is a perfect blend of strength training and cardio. The workouts are optimized so that you are isolating the correct muscle groups, so there is no wondering around for 20 minutes figuring out what to do or waiting for a machine like a typical gym. The coaches do a great job encouraging and pushing without being "pushy." Do your body a favor and try them out today! *update* A year later and I still love this place! I just completed a 5 week challenge, and it was great for me. I'm still working towards my goals and everyone here has been a huge part of that!

So proud of you Dan!!

Fantastic experience: I was excited to start the 6 week weight loss challenge. I wanted to lose weight and get healthier but I also knew it would be hard. The coaches and members are very encouraging. My friends and family gave me motivation and encouragement that I needed also. The diet was very strict but you are eating every 3 hours. The private facebook groups were nice to see everyones progress, and ask questions. I am happy to say that I was able to lose 28.6 lbs in my first 6 week challenge. I had the opportunity to do a second 6 week challenge. The second 6 week challenge was tougher for me. I was able to lose 20 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It's crazy that I have lost 48.6 lbs in 12 weeks. I know I wouldn't have been able to lose this weight on my own. The trainers are so awesome, push you and want you to succeed. Thanks to Elite Edge for the support and pushing me in the workouts.

H N 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had gotten really unhealthy during the pandemic and gained a lot of weight and had a poor diet. I joined Elites' 6-week challenge to get myself on track. I've lost 48lbs in 12 weeks. The program each day really targets your entire body. Dont get me started on the amazing coaches! Makes you feel like you're doing one -on-one training. I recommend anyone who needs a pudh to get started on a healtheir lifestyle. Be warned. Once you start, you'll keep going!

Amanda 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I just finished my first 6 week challenge and I lost about 24 pounds! I was nervous at first to be in a group setting for workouts but it was so much fun and everyone there is so positive. I really enjoyed the level of hard work everyone puts in each day. I attended the 5 Am class and really appreciate Lucas for all his coaching and hard work! It’s crazy how much progress I made in 6 shorts weeks. I enjoy the gym class so much that I signed up for a year membership and look forward to my progress over this next year. Thank you team Elite!

Michael Molina 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started 2024 around 240lbs and told myself l'd like to weigh 200 by the end of the year, that sounded attainable for me at the time. It's now March and I'm 12lbs away my goal. if you want to make a change for the better in your health I can't recommend elite south enough they are all amazing and great at what they do!

David Roland 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my 6-week challenge last week and lost 21 lbs! Yay! Staff at both locations was truly great! Had to stick to a very restrictive diet and daily exercise challenge, but it worked! If youre in the Des Moines area , wanting to lose some weight, and HIIT it, get in touch with Hannah at the Des Moines facility and sign up! Exercises include challenging upper body, legs, and core exercises along with boxing added in for cardio. Available schedule is 6am, 7am, noon, 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm, plus times on Saturday morning. Different time and locations have different instructors, so theres plenty availability to switch around. Other requirements include changing FB profile logo, daily check-ins (30 workouts in 42 days), reviews and shares. Great challenge! Thanks, Hannah!

Fantastic experience: I just finished my first six week challenge! I lost 22.5 pounds and I feel better than I have felt in years. I have alot more energy and drive for the day. I still have another 6 week challenge to do and look forward to going to the gym everyday. All of the trainers really take time to motivate and push you to your goals. Push yourself and you will see results with the plan they layout for you. This is one of the best decisions I have made in a long time and I am so happy that I did. I appreciate everything all the trainers do to help us to our goal. I can't thank you enough.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge on the Southside and I would totally recommend Eliet Edge if you are looking to shed some pounds. I absolutely love the results and was amazed with the overall the process. Hannah and the other instructors are great instructors. After the 6 week challenge, I ended up loosing losing a total of 29.3 lbs. I have worked out at another gym before I Elite Edge and found that this gym has a better balance of exercises and a better variety of exercise equipment. Hanna and the other instructors are very friendly and motivating without being overly aggressive which was incredibly helpful in my ability to achieve my goals. I am looking forward to see my results after my next 6 week challenge. Time to get back to work!!!!

Ana Jimenez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started with Elite Edge Southside with the recommendation of a close friend who completed a 6-week challenge to transform her body and lifestyle. I adopted the same view in November 2023. I have completed two challenges with resulting in amazing progress. I found my love for fitness again and will now be working towards bigger goals with the help of Coach Lucas and Coach Hannah who have been so motivating. Music is always on point as well as the instruction! I simply love it there I look forward to continuing my journey with EESS <3

Scotty Tigner 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Completed a 2nd 6 week challenge. Just like the 1st one, I would recommend Elite Edge if you needing some help to jump start your workouts and lose some weight. Classes aren’t too big in size, workouts can push you and will help you get back on track with you health.

Scott Tigner 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I just finished a 6 week challenge at Elite Edge and it was very helpful in helping to jump start losing weight. It’s a good workout, with a variety of different workouts daily and no 2 days are the same. The trainers are helpful and I would recommend if you’re needing some help getting started out, this is a good place to start.

Silvia A 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed the Back to School Challenge and I'm more than happy with the results. I was able to lose 21 lbs in the six weeks. I had been trying to lose weight on my own and this challenge helped me achieve my goal. It's challenging, but if you follow the diet and put in the work, you will succeed. I feel better and stronger. All the coaches were very encouraging through out the challenge. Hannah would check in to see how I was doing and Josh and Lucas were very helpful and fun instructors. During the workouts they don't hover over you, but do let you know if you're form is incorrect so you do workout the muscle group that you're suppose to. The gym environment is fun and very welcoming. Every day is a different workout so you don't get bored with the workouts. I also like the variety of workout hours. I recommend Elite Edge to anyone in any fitness level in thinking of achieving their next health and fitness goals.

Christal Wessels 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I signed up for the 6 week challenge! While I can’t say I loved it the first week (I’m dramatic I thought I was in way over my head) I stuck with it because there’s such an encouraging group of people past & present who cheer you on and tell you “you got this!” And after week 2 I was addicted to coming and started seeing progress .. I actually lost 20 pounds end of week 6 and signed on for a membership because I feel like I started something great with great people and want to push myself further than I ever have physically. For new people, that first week just need to push through, 2nd week it’ll be more positive and you’ll feel stronger , til you don’t “really” wanna leave (even if you can’t wait to finally eat at your old fav places again lol) love it. Love the people. Not one time did I ever feel discouraged because of something anyone said , only encouragement and they believed in me more than I did. All smiles!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The coaches are amazing, the fellow members are super nice too. I feel so at home here. The set up is nice too, and even when full I don't feel cramped at all! Hannah, the manager is the best and she's a huge reason I joined and I super look forward to her messages. Definitely happy to spend my days here!

Thank you so much Jenna! We love having you as part of our EE Fam!!!

Emily Farnsworth 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week challenge and am so glad I did it. That first day meeting with Hannah and Lucas they stated I had to do the hard work but they would be there every step of the way. I put in the work but they also did what they said they would do as well. They encourage and push me and hold me accountable. I have never been the one to say I enjoyed working out but here I do enjoy working out. The other members are also so encouraging. They all make me feel like a part of something special and is a big part of why I am now a continuing member of the Southside Savages. Anyone on the fence about taking this journey, all I can say is I don't regret my decision at all and don't think anyone that puts in the effort will either. I have more goals to reach and cannot wait to see what I accomplish next with this great group of people in my corner.

We're so proud of you Emily, way to go!! Thanks so much for the kind words, we can't wait to see what else you accomplish!

Fantastic experience: I just completed the six week challenge to lose twenty pounds in six weeks, overall it was a great experience and great success! The trainers at the southside are great, always answering questions and always pushing you to be better, the regulars there are also great as they don’t look down on you and also help and push you along the way! The meal plan was definitely one of the hardest parts overall but once you get past the 1st and 2nd week it is a breeze! As long as you do what is told all will go smooth and you will be healthy in no time! I would recommend this challenge and gym to anyone trying to get back in the health game!

Danielle Bursell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week challenge, losing a total of 23.3 lbs. Hannah, Lucas and Chico taught most of the classes I attended, and were great instructors. They motivate you to work hard and push your body to the next level. The classes are intended for people at all stages of their fitness journey, and modifications for each exercise are included if needed. The variety of workouts provided a good full-body transformation, making me feel strong, toned and ready to feel confident as we transition into the summer months. The diet is strict, although I found ways to incorporate the foods into meals that I enjoyed and will continue to eat after the challenge. I recommend Elite Edge Transformation Center - South Side to anyone interested in losing weight, joining a positive, upbeat gym and becoming part of a community.

So proud of your hard work Danielle! ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a fun challenging and weight loss gym, Elite Edge Transformation is the place for you. Don't look more because at Elite Edge Transformation you don't only work out but rather train for a future you. If you ask me, I am more thankful with Elite Edge because they literally transformed me into a new person, not only because they helped me in the process of losing 32 pounds but also because they helped me make healthier choices. I am really proud of myself because I had tried different methods for losing weight, but I would always give up and never accomplish any of them. However, with elite I felt welcomed and always had a coach behind me telling me "Don't give up" or "you can do it". Thank you coaches for making me feel like part of the family and for making these 6 weeks challenge the best.

Great work Julio!! We're proud of you!

Fantastic experience: I did the six week challenge at Elite Edge on the Southside. I absolutely love the results and was amazed with the overall the process. The diet plan was easy to follow and easy to get use to! It was first time doing any kind of exercise program at 5AM and it was easier than I thought it was going to be! The trainers made it fun to do and fun to follow and really know how to motivate you to do your best and push yourself. The variety of exercises made each day a new challenge and exciting. Loved it all so much a became an Elite Edge member after the 6 week program!

Adam Barnes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed the six week challenge. The results were excellent! I love the structure of their diet and exercise plan. I have worked out at another gym before doing CrossFit and found that this gym has a better balance of exercises and a better variety of exercise equipment. It was a lot more diverse than I saw at my previous gym.This was a great way to jump start my summer and I look forward to continuing exercising here throughout the year. I thrive in a class setting versus trying to work out on my own. The staff are very friendly and motivating without being overly aggressive which was incredibly helpful in my ability to achieve my goals.

The trainers are excellent they know just how to motivate you for maximum results. You must be careful with your diet because you can't out work a bad diet. If you're looking to lose weight or just get in shape I highly recommend Elite Edge. I ended up signing up and becoming a member.

Dave Rezek 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After slowly making a comeback after sustaining a bad ladder fall injury a few years back that exploded my lower left leg and ankle, I was finally given the green light to get back to higher impact training again (but kicking with that leg and hitting an object with any real force is sadly out). A friend had recommended Elite Edge - South Side Des Moines. I knew the only spot I could put my time in that didn’t clash with the family and multiple job schedules, was 5am. Having won a big contest before at another gym (going at 5am) prior to the injury, I knew my determination would not be a deterrent; I was more nervous about how the leg/ankle would hold up. Additionally, the opposite knee was stressed from compensating for a couple years of walking differently and I needed a brace for stabilization, and I had an old rotator cuff injury from coaching baseball for years. So, I showed up kind of a physical mess, but I was ready to do whatever I could to get my physical health back. Lauren and Hannah were so great about helping me find alternate exercises and motions to do until I redeveloped mobility and flexibility. The first couple weeks were very tough, but that only fed my determination. I knew I’d hit that finish line if I just pushed as well as I could. I made a goal to get back to my weight I was at prior to the injury, but that would require losing 24 pounds in 6 weeks…I rounded it up to 25 and dove into the Challenge. Heading into the 5th week, I’d already lost 17 pounds, when one of our son’s got COVID, and then the rest of our family did. I expected obstacles, but not that one. I lost a few days in there, but then I hopped right back in from home. I SO appreciate Lauren sending me extra home workouts until I could return! That really kept me going. Because I pushed hard and FTDI with the food plan nearly to a “T” and had Lauren’s and Hannah’s support, as well as that of our FB support group, I successfully completed the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge on the south side, losing 23 pounds…just one pound short of my goal, but at least more than the goal of the Challenge. I have since become a member, am stronger than I was before the accident, and I am really driven to reach more nutrition and health goals! Can’t recommend highly enough --> EE-SS! Just. Do. It. If I can fit it in, you can, too.

Fantastic experience: I successfully completed the six-week challenge at elite edge and to say it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself would be an understatement. The coaches and staff are awesome. Everyone is so kind and quick to help out whenever you need it. I could not have done this without the help of my coach Lauren. She is nothing short of amazing. She’s very supportive and devoted to helping everyone work to achieve their transformation goals. I’ve always been hesitant to join gyms as i’ve always felt judgement and never known what workouts are effective. At elite edge, you never have to worry about that. The workouts are consistently changing and the coaches thoroughly demonstrate each movement. The things I love most about elite edge are that it’s judgement free, the coaches are personable, understanding, and driven to help you achieve amazing results. I would highly recommend elite edge to anyone wanting to transform themselves and their lifestyle.

Great job these last 6-weeks, Tori! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what your fitness future holds here at Elite!

Katie Z. Dawson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I needed a kick start after a long and stressful winter. I had no idea what I was signing up for, but I decided to give it everything. The workouts are fantastic. I love the way every day was different and it was a great blend of cardio and strength training. The energy in the room with so many people pushing each other is fantastic and so are the coaches :) It was hard to follow the food plan, but I'm a pretty adventurous eater and found ways to still make delicious things! I'm so glad I took the plunge and would recommend it to anyone who is ready to work hard and change their habits. 2022 update! With the pandemic, Elite adjusted with online Zoom workouts, but it wasn't quite the same. When they opened back up, I wasn't ready. But this summer, I came back and had missed it so much! I love the friendly faces, the amazing coaches, and how they work hard to help you achieve your goals! So glad to be back!

Elite Edge Transformation Center

Great job Katie!!! We're so proud of you and we're so glad to have you back at EE!

Janine Comstock 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6 Week Challenge. The Covid period made me break a lot of the good habits that I had built and I was ready for a challenge to keep me accountable and kickstart my journey to improve my health. The challenge combined 5 day/week exercises and dieting. If you are new to working out, are not familiar with certain moves, and get nervous about working out with people, do not get intimidated. Stick with it and the moves will become more intuitive, the people in your class will become familiar, and soon not going to the gym will feel more strange than going. The class is for people of all shapes, sizes and skill levels, your coach is there to demonstrate any any moves you need, talk to you about alternative options for your body and abilities, and recommend how you can work towards a living a healthy lifestyle outside of the gym. Coach Lauren taught the morning classes I attended. She truly wants to be there to help people and will correct your form to ensure you are safe in your movements. She is able to find a good balance between pushing people but not to the point where they feel demoralized and she's willing to take the time to listen & talk to you--even when she's busy with classes. Ultimately she was supportive and helped keep me motivated throughout the challenge. I'll be continuing to go to this gym after the challenge for the support and community and to continue to work towards bettering my health.

Carla Negrete 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge on the south side! I was shocked at how quick I saw results and how much more confident I felt. This challenge was mentally hard for me but gave me incredible results that are definitely worth it. I hadn’t worked out in years so walking into this I was a bit out of my comfort zone. However, Lucas, Lauren and Hannah were super supportive and constantly reassured me that I was doing great and pushed me to keep going! The trainers at Elite Edge are absolutely amazing! They’re super helpful and very knowledgeable. This isn’t just people trying to take your money, these are trainers/admins ready to help you change your lifestyle and reach your fitness goals. They WANT you to succeed in this challenge and they want you to continue to succeed after! I honestly loved everything about Elite Edge! You will be challenged and you will have fun while working out. It is such positive vibes at Elite Edge. I can’t thank Hannah, Lucas, and Lauren enough for helping me reach my present and future weight and fitness goals! Signing up at Elite Edge is one of the best decisions I have made. If you’re like me and have no idea where to start, go invest in yourself and get help starting your new fitness journey with Elite Edge!

Javier Solis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6-week challenge, and I am proud to say that I lost more than the 20-pound goal. After following the diet and working out 5 times a week I was able to lose a total of 23 pounds in 6 weeks. I couldn’t be happier with my results! I can fit into clothes that hasn’t fit me for the past two years. Lucas and Hannah are awesome people to work with and the gym vibe is incredible! There are multiple classes throughout the day so “not having time” is no longer an excuse. Stop by and observe one of the classes then you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Great job Javi! Way to go!

Fantastic experience: Lauren, Hannah, and Lucas are wonderful people to have in your corner. Throughout the 6 week challenge they checked up in me and made sure I put the work it. They also asked me how I was doing and gave many words of encouragement. I was lucky to have Lauren at the 5am class to push me to be my best self. After such an amazing experience I decided to get a full membership so that I can hit my goals!

The coaches, Lauren, Trevor and Hannah were all very motivational and very helpful. Everyone you meet in the gym are very welcoming. At first I thought six weeks was a long time, but it went by so fast! I really liked all the different exercises and the different hours options. I highly recommends this program to anyone who is planning to change their eating habit and wanting to loose weight

Fantastic experience: I took Elite Edge’s 6-Week Challenge. I did it. I have always been active, but my fitness routine had lulled into leisurely walks around the block with my elderly dog and a few floor exercises. And, almost daily Happy Hours. I needed a good butt kicking! The Challenge was “simple:” follow the instructions and check-in on Facebook for accountability. Yikes! Each workout was tough and different than the day before. Thank you, Coach Lauren, for your patience and 1:1 instruction, for making sure each of us got the most out of every workout. Each day required discipline to stick to the plan and the eating schedule. Six weeks, 13 lbs., 7% body fat, and a new path forward – ALL WORTH IT!

Great job Michelle!!

Fantastic experience: I'm proud to say I just completed the 6 week challenge! I was always pretty big into fitness and sports in highschool and college but once I got a little older I started getting lazy and eating more and getting bad habits. Or I would go to the gym consistently but not fix my eating habits and just say I was "dirty bulking" as a excuse. I would always be stronger but cardiovascular wise I was very out of shape and did not feel healthy.The reason I chose to give elite edge a try is because the have a very good mix of lifting weights and cardio. Also I would say I'm a pretty experienced in lifting but alot of times Trevor and Lauren would correct my form to make things easier and more efficient They're both very knowledgeable and help motivate everyone to be there best! Every time I go to class it feels like a family and everyone is very helpful. I recommend Elite edge to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I used to never have any motivation to go workout or eat better before I did my 6 week challenge. I watched my mom be so happy with her results from her challenge so I was like why shouldn’t I give it a shot? I highly recommend doing this challenge or even just working out here because it changes you mentally and physically!! I started at 203lbs and dropped down to 180lbs in only SIX WEEKS! I also feel like the diet helped me the most with losing all of this weight. My first week I lost 7 pounds due to cutting out coffee! Working out here is never a dull moment either, the music is awesome, the workouts make you feel really good, and the trainers are absolutely amazing and push you to do your best! This is a super awesome place to workout and get healthier! You should check it out, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: So I just finished my six week challenge today, ended up losing close to 25lbs in 6 weeks, so I’m pretty proud of my self, I have done the challenge twice already once in 2017 and then this year, so I have highly recommended the challenge to many family members and friends, some of them have already done it or are doing it right now! I would love to say that the gym and the coaches are AMAZING, they help you and guide you through all the workouts , so your able to meet your goal.. the elite edge gym south side is phenomenal

Taylor Diehl 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed back to back 6 week 20 pound challenges and saw great results! I let my fitness get out of control after graduating college and Elite Edge helped me get back into a routine and was the perfect challenge I was looking for! I was nervous I wouldn’t make the second challenge, but Lauren and Hannah helped push me in every way to ensure I made it! They even provided at home workouts for me when I had to travel across the country!! Everyone I encountered during the classes were so warm and welcoming and very supportive! The check-ins and changing your profile picture on Facebook almost stopped me from doing these challenges all together, but I am so glad I got over that and decided to give it a go! I am going to continue my time at Elite Edge as it is such a great workout where results are seen!! I am very excited to continue to see results and make lifestyle changes. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get ahold of their health or just looking for great workouts!!

Fantastic experience: Personally, I had a phenomenal experience here! The people, the workouts, and the diet are all very easy to do as long as you just push through and do it. Lauren is a powerhouse of motivation and is truly inspiring. She’s goes above and beyond what is expected. Hannah who coordinates everything is also great. She is very detailed when talking about the expectations of the program and not only that but she attends the class with you sometimes. Elite Edge overall is an amazing program and I would recommend it to anyone! Especially someone who needs that extra push and accountability partners!

They give you all the essentials tools to put you on a path for success and they will push you and motivate you to your best , also huge shout out to coach Lauren she really helps out a lot on pushing you and teaching you how to do the work outs the correct way.

Fantastic experience: I totally recommend Elite Edge Transformation Center. I just completed the six week challenge and I am so proud of what I have achieved during the challenge. Losing 20 pounds was and is a great feeling, and is just the beginning.I am so thankful with the coaches/trainers, as well as the great environment in the gym. It took me time to find a place like Elite Edge where everyone makes you feel comfortable and share their positive energy, so I can say that joining this challenge at Elite was one of the best things I have done for my self. Always needed a group of people like in Elite Edge, definitely again I would recommend you to join this place. Great environment, great people, positive energy, and the most important thing they push you to be better and challenge your self. Definetly a Great place to join!!!!

Jacob Hedlund 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6 week challenge and was successful in meeting the goal of a 20 pound weight loss. The coaches were all motivational and helpful with making sure I met my goals. The workouts varied and it did not feel like you were doing the same thing over and over. The toughest part for me was the nutrition plan but once I got it dialed in I had good results. I liked the numerous class options provided so there was never an excuse to miss a day of the program. I would highly recommend this program as a jump start to any fitness goals.

Avery Snyder 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great time pushing myself at this location. Hannah, Lauren, and Trevor are the absolute best. I did most of my classes in the morning with Lauren and she is a great coach who really cares about you and your goals, and works very hard at helping you push yourself. The coaches are very knowledgeable in helping you prepare your body for the challenges that it will go through while you are pushing yourself to achieve the results you want. The workouts have tons of variety to keep things from being boring or repetitive, and the pump up jams are top notch! Above all, this fitness center is a family. I would recommend this place to anyone in the DSM Metro and beyond!

Fantastic experience: Thank you, thank you, thank you to Elite Edge Transformation Center South Des Moines and special thanks to Lauren, our morning coach!. I completed the six weeks challenge today. I was a bit skeptical in regards to the challenge, too good to be true!. From day one, our coach made it clear, FTDI, (Follow the Damn Instructions) results will follow!. Lauren you were right, I FDTI, and lost 27lbs. I have a bad wrist and she work with me on modifying some of the exercises, so I can meet my goals. Thank you Elite Edge Transformation Center South Des Moines. I would recommend this gym to anyone whom is willing to FTDI. The coaches here are great. You follow the instructions result city!

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week challenge here and there support was amazing. Coach Lauren is tough yet motivational. The overall mood in the gym is overwhelming positive with her presence. I am excited to continue my progress and busting through goals here! Every day in the gym is different, tough and leaves me glad I showed up. Seeing my progress though not only the physical appearance perspective but also my mood and attitude daily makes a huge difference. Feeling the change weekly in my performance completing the classes is motivation in itself.

Fantastic experience: I conquered the challenge! Such a rewarding feeling! I love Elite Edge Southside! The trainers, my classmates and the staff are so supportive and are passionate about getting you to your goals. The first week was the hardest but I soon became addicted to the workouts. I loved seeing people at all different fitness levels coming together to meet the same goal of being healthy. The variety of the workouts keeps it interesting and fun. I’ve since became a member and CANNOT wait to see how much more my body transforms! Thank you Elite Edge Southside!!

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 6 week challenge at Elite Edge and am so happy! Can’t begin to explain how amazing this gym is. From the coaches to the people at the gym. Everything about it is just motivating and is inspiring. I am happy to say that I hit my 20lb goal with the help of all the coaches, staff, and family support . Although at time it wasn’t easy, it was still a goal that I was striving to reach. Now I signed up for a membership to knock some other goals down. Super excited to see what the future holds for myself at Elite Edge!

Fantastic experience: I just completed my 6-week challenge. Elite Edge Transformation Center South Des Moines is a great place to jump start your exercise routine. Lauren is amazing. She is truly there to help people be the best version of themselves. She was able to adjust some exercises to meet my limitations, which really helped me to keep moving and to get stronger each week. The workouts are varied enough to keep it interesting and the atmosphere is fun and upbeat. The hour passes very quickly. I would recommend checking it out. Find a challenge that meets your lifestyle and see how amazed you can be by the things you CAN do.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 6 week challenge and I have so much to say!! This place is incredible. To say I don’t have an athletic bone in my body is an understatement. I am not the best at anything physical, but even within 6 weeks I feel so much stronger, agile, and fit. They really make you feel like you can do anything here. (The secret is you truly can do anything) I went from 188lbs to 165.6lbs and I have so much confidence back. I have been sleeping better, my mood has been better, and I am so proud of myself for completing this. If I can do it anyone can, and everyone here makes it 100% possible. The staff care so much about you too! You come in and they treat you like an old friend they’ve known for years. I am always so excited to come in and get a good workout in. Thank you so much Elite edge!!!

Fantastic experience: Today was my last day after six weeks and I managed to lose my 20 pounds, this place has a motivating team I felt confident and happy they have the best schedules they give you very good information about food they give you many healthy tips I recommend this place because I could not say nothing negative, I was very happy to have been part of your team.

ElJoshobs “JOSKLIN” terry 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My name is Josue , i just finished the 6 week challenge I loved everything about the challenge if you take it serious you lose the weight i was down my 20 pounds in 5 weeks, the coaching I received during the challenge was amazing as well, i had struggled with other diets and gyms but once coming to Elite all of that changed, The work outs were definitely tough but most definitely worth it working in a group setting with a couch there to help and push you made a big difference would recommend Elite to anyone i will never forget the great experience Thank you!

Caleigh Mormann 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elite edge is an excellent gym. The atmosphere is positive and supportive. The couches ensure that you are doing the work-out techniques correctly and push you to your limits. The gym is welcoming to different people with different body types. No matter what you look like, you will be celebrated for any achievement you make in that gym, small or big. The coaches will help to find you find the diet that best works for you in order to help you fulfill your health goals. I really enjoyed my time completing the challenge and I intend to continue working out at this gym.

Julie McDaniel 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: EDIT 2 years later: I have continued on my fitness journey with Elite Edge and continue to get stronger and healthier. The coaches encourage me and push me to do more than I ever thought I could. I have muscle definition and way more energy! I can honestly say that I look forward to working out each day. That is only because of the coaches, atmosphere, and other members at the gym. I highly recommend! I have just finished my first 6 week challenge and lost 24lbs. The diet is restrictive, but the community helps you figure it out with a variety recipes! The workouts are tough, but the coaches are there to help make sure you are doing it right and to motivate you the entire time! I have doubled the amount of sit-ups and push-ups I was able to do from the beginning to now. I actually look forward to lifting weights each day! I never feel like people are judging me or my ability. Everyone (even the people who are clearly WAY more in shape than I am) are really encouraging! I seriously can’t recommend this program more!

Chase Palmer 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I tried a couple gyms before finding Elite Edge. They not only help you focus on your fitness, but your nutrition as well. They truly care about you and the goals you have set for yourself. Before signing up, they met with me for almost an hour going over all my goals and information. It really made me feel important and welcome. I would suggest this gym to anyone. Been with them 2 months and I’m already seeing results. Coach Lauren is awesome! She will work with you until you get it right and motivates you every workout. A huge thanks to her! Also a shout out to Hannah! She’s always there for you and is super helpful! Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I just finished the six-week challenge. I was very nervous to start a group workout since I have not done that type of exercise since high school. Everyone was very helpful and encouraging. The coaches are AWESOME! They will help you figure out a different way to move if you are unable to do a particular exercise. Hannah was a wonderful, caring leader. She was always willing to listen and to help you keep on track with not only the diet but the full program. I would recommend this program to friends and family. A big THANK YOU to all the staff and trainers at Elite Edge!!

Huong Nguyen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had gotten really unhealthy during the pandemic and gained a lot of weight and had a poor diet. I joined Elites' 6-week challenge to get myself on track. I've lost 48lbs in 12 weeks. The program each day really targets your entire body. Dont get me started on the amazing coaches! Makes you feel like you're doing one -on-one training. I recommend anyone who needs a pudh to get started on a healtheir lifestyle. Be warned. Once you start, you'll keep going!

Natalie Timmons 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined elite edge 6 weeks ago to complete the challenge. After pregnancy , winter, and quarantine I needed something that was going to give me a push to get motivated. Elite did just that! I am not only down 21 pounds already, but have noticed several changes in my own strength. The atmosphere is great, the workouts are always intense and challenging, the instructors are awesome and always pushing you to go harder, and there is always someone to answer any questions regarding the program, nutrition, workouts or anything else you may have some concern about. It was just the push I needed to get myself back again. Although we have completed our first challenge with success, our journey is not over. We start a second challenge this Monday, with a goal of another 20lbs. Excited to get at it again, and keep going after that. I recommend elite to anyone eager for change and wanting the extra push to keep you challenged and accountable! 100% worth it , and satisfied with elite south side

Nikki Thammathay 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just finished the Smash the scale challenge and I couldn’t be happier with my results in just 4 weeks! This program was so amazing in so many ways. The workouts were great and really pushed ya girl to her limits. I’ve never been a workout person and I needed this. The diets were so easy to follow and maintain. I’m really happy I decided to try this challenge out. I lost 6 lbs in just 4 weeks and for me that’s a lot! I even went on vacation during the 3rd week and ate a little bad and I still saw results after I came back. The coaches were all amazing and they made each workout fun coming to. I never dreaded coming to the gym and I was excited to workout! That is so big for me!! It definitely was not easy but if you follow their plan and stick to the diets and workouts you will definitely see results! I highly recommend this gym if you are a beginner and don’t know where to start, or if you need the extra push to look and feel better! They really help you and focus on your goals! I can’t wait to see what’s in store next

Erin Soderblom 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love Elite! My coach, Lauren is awesome sauce!! My sister had just completed the challenge and met her goal so that’s the reason I decided to try a challenge on my own. I also went to a friends and family week with her & instantly fell in love! I had a membership at the Y & was working out 5 days a week before I started my challenge, but I wasn’t really meeting goals or getting to where I wanted to be. There was no one to push me or help achieve my fitness goals at the Y so I had hit a plateau. I love the environment and the group workouts at Elite. The group workouts push you to work even harder. Every day you are doing something different and hitting muscles you didn’t even know you had. During my 6-week challenge, I lot 7.9% body fat and 19lbs!! #boom! One of the best things I’ve done for myself. I decided to join the gym for a year and am excited for what’s to come.

Sydney Rodgers 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge has changed my life since I started in 2018. It has become a part of my daily routine. A workout a day helps me mentally and physically and motivates me to work hard the entire day. The atmosphere is great, the community is welcoming, and the coaches and members are extremely helpful. I had my son in February and I just knew the only way to get my baby weight off and enjoy it at the same time would be to join Elite Edge again. I started my six week challenge in June and lost 21.4 pounds. I am beginning another six week challenge in hopes that I lose another 20lbs. I have enjoyed Elite. All you have to do is wake up, show up, and work for an hour as the workouts are already prepared for you. There is no better feeling then feeling yourself improve and get stronger every day, and at Elite Edge I feel like I am doing just that. Totally worth the investment.

lidia davila 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I decided to join the Elite Edge Gym after being under shutdown and packing on a bunch of weight. I started the six week challenge six weeks ago with great results losing over 22 pounds. Never thought that I would be able to loose all that weight in such little time. Following the meal plan and workouts really works! I love the structure and how each day is totally different. Lauren is such a great coach and motivates you to the max! I really recommend Elite Edge!!!! If you are ready to give your life and body a complete turn around do not wait any longer... THIS IS FOR YOU!!!

abigail perdomo 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My name is Abigail perdomo and I took the 6week challenge. Working out with Elite Edge was one of the best decisions of my life. I was in a very dark and depressed state of mind before I started. After seeing the boost of energy I gained after week one; it gave me life. I was excited for class, I was excited for a good sweat session, I was excited to start meal prepping, and most importantly I was excited about the weight loss because it works. I lost 22 pounds and felt amazing. I would recommend this challenge to everyone. Elite Edge gives you 6 weeks to focus on yourself. A huge shout out to the team who consistently reminds you why you there. I can’t wait to start my second challenge and I encourage you all to take a step in the Elite Edge gym n try it out you will feel the great vibes of people who care. No judgement. No shame. Just a group of people trying to better themselves.

Joseph Brinkman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am finishing up my first Elite Edge six week challenge. The program has literally been the best experience in a “gym” (accurately referred to more as a fitness family) since high school weight lifting for sports when I was part of a team! The support that the members, other challengers and coaches offer you is absolutely unbelievable. There is even a pretty cool group where people can share their struggles and questions with coaches and other members. The coaches and other people in the classes with you are very welcoming and make you feel that you fit in immediately! The classes are a lot of hard work but very effective and fun! This program is by far in my opinion the best I have been to (been to a lot). The coaches are also amazing and work hard to help you stay focused and on track! The coaches are super knowledgeable about fitness and develop workouts that are very effective, and a nutrition list for you to follow! If you are honest with them about struggles and victories they will do their best to assist you and will hold you accountable (very efficient at this). The challenge is six weeks long and you work out 5-6 days a week (minimum of 5, I do six). It is high intensity and you will lose the weight if you follow the damn instructions! One of the best parts, as long as you successfully complete the challenges your money rolls over to the next as long as you’re doing the challenges. If you want a program that is effective, fun and supportive, Elite Edge in Altoona is definitely the place to go for all your transformation goals.

Erika Gracey 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say the Elite Edge 6 week challenge has been one of the hardest yet most rewarding things I've done for myself in a long time. As a mother of three young kids it is easy to make excuses to not take the time for self-care, like exercise and eating right. But once I made the decision to join the challenge I realized how important it is to make time for those things and that it is not nearly as impossible as I once thought. I went into this challenge mainly looking for something to jumpstart my motivation for working out, I needed that push. I was not originally concerned with winning a challenge but once I got started and saw how it works I realized my body was capable of a lot more than I gave it credit. When it came down to the last week I was amazed that I was within reach of the 20 lb and it pushed me to stay focused. The day of the weigh in I could not believe that the scale showed that I had lost a total of 21 pounds, I could not stop smiling. I would not have made it through this challenge without Elite's amazing staff. Hannah Brammer is wonderful, she listens to your concerns, gives advice, and honestly wants you to succeed. The coaches at Elite Edge Brady, and Lauren are just incredible. Both coaches know how to push you out of your comfort zone all while making sure you are learning proper technique so you see results every week you work with them. After every workout I felt wonderful. It was half relief that the workout was over but also amazement that I was able to get through it. This is definitely a hard challenge but it should be, nothing easy is worth it and you will be so proud of your dedication and hard work once it is over. I encourage everyone to try it, you will not be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6 week challenge and now I am a member! I know I made the best decision of my life because I became a part of a gym family! I lost 25 pounds in the challenge. I struggled with eating a lot and gained so much weight! They push you to be your best and when you have questions and concerns they answer with plans and guidance. The coaches are the best! Personal training at its finest! I didn’t think I could do it! I recommend Elite Edge 100%. I know I have Elite members to count on! I am satisfied with the outcome and the program as a whole! Begin your journey TODAY!!!! :D

Fantastic experience: I have been fairly active during my adult life. I have always enjoyed a good challenge and mixing things up. Over the years I’ve done 5ks, 10ks, half marathons, marathons, and triathlons. I’ve enjoyed Cross Fit, Orange Theory and similar programs over the years. Those programs bought good workouts but limited results. Turning 50 brought weight changes. Covid 19 brought the shut down and working from home steps away from my pantry. I was lethargic and could feel my clothes tightening as I worked from home. Something needed to happen. The Elite Edge Six Week Challenge would often appear in my social media feeds. I decided it was time to do something. I enrolled in the Six Week Challenge. My first day was July 13th. I followed the simple meal plan. I hit the gym Monday through Friday with an occasional Saturday. The workouts were great. Coach Lauren Springer would always mix it up. She was great to make sure the movements where done correctly to get the optimum results. The weekly Monday morning weigh ins would see a few pounds in the first weeks and then the weight started coming off. My carb intake was adjusted in the final weeks to see more results. At my final weigh in I was down 21 lbs at 154.5 lbs. A weight I had not seen since 2012. I highly recommend Elite Edge Six Week Challenge to jump start your healthy lifestyle and long-term maintenance. I’m looking forward to continuing on at Elite Edge and onto the Back to School Challenge!

Fantastic experience: Made me fall in love with working out again. Instructors are so friendly and helpful and made me feel comfortable right off that bat. I used to work out from home and i had a partner that would do it with me every night. When she moved, it was so hard to keep up the motivation. Elite Edge has helped tremendously with that. I’m so thankful I bit the bullet and joined this gym.

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge and the 6 week challenge helped me reach my goal. The structured plan was a great mix of healthy eating and challenging workouts. Lauren, Hannah and Brady were there to help with any questions and provided support along the way. I recommend EE to anyone interested in seeing just how far you can push yourself to achieve your healthy lifestyle goals.

Garret Youker 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you've been looking for a way to jumpstart your healthy lifestyle, don't wait another day. I took the challenge because they promised if I followed the instructions and put in the work, I would beat the challenge - and they were right. I signed on as a member because, even through the most challenging workouts; even on the weeks where I had almost no change on the scale, coaches and other members were there to push me and keep my energy high and my form correct. My only regret was not starting the challenge 6 months ago when I first heard about it. If I had started then, I'd be even further along on my fitness journey. But you can learn from my mistake! See you there!

maria ruhtenberg 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Elite Edge. I lost over 26 pounds in the 6 week challenge. I loved the workouts and found myself looking forward to them and never did I not want to go. Not only did I lose weight but I felt great. I had more energy and fewer back issues. They kept me motivated. I have never had this much success on my own. Great place and great people

Eric Zepeda 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: For me, the hardest thing to do is getting to the gym on a consistent basis. So that’s why I decided that I needed to be held accountable for showing up everyday. With the constant check in’s on Facebook and emails as well as the other people in the class expecting to see you every day, I felt like it was just what I needed to succeed! The workouts are fun as well as challenging. My instructor Brady, was awesome at motivating me, he seemed to to get the best out of me at each workout. I’m hooked !! I’ll be working out there for the foreseeable future. It’s an awesome atmosphere to motivate you to achieve your fitness goals!!

Lane Lucas 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never enjoyed going to the gym until I started going to Elite Edge South Side. I just completed my first 6 week challenge and lost 24 pounds by following the nutrition plan and working out at least 5 times a week. About halfway through, I started going on Saturdays as well! I feel better than I have in a LONG time and can't wait to start the next challenge. Huge thanks to Brady, Lauren and Hannah for supporting me every step of the way. Do not be afraid if you are completely out of shape and are scared to death of going to a “boot camp”. The trainers and coaches will give you alternate movements any time you need them. It’s a judgment free zone and every one wants to see you succeed! Once you get through that first week, you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge Transformation Center is more than a gym, it is a different way of getting fit and feeling good physically. I did the 6 week- 20lb challenge that offered all the workout classes I wanted to go to plus a nutrition guide and weekly accountability to keep me on track. I won't lie, it was hard, the end was really rough, bit I did it, I beat it and now I feel more confident and comfortable in the gym, in my skin, and in my ability to have self control and discipline. All of this due to Elite Edge. They are truely a new kind of gym, a family atmosphere, a fun place to workout, an awesome place to make new friends, and an amazing place to step up your fitness and wellness no matter where you currently are or where you wanna go. Highly highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: 6 week challenge has been accomplished. Lauren is an awesome trainer. She helped me dig deep and talked mess to me when needed to pump my motivation which i loved! The workout sessions were hard but worth the effort and work! My sit up game is nasty now, thanks Lauren! I made a family at elite and would recommend to anyone willing to beat the challenge and lengthen their life. Love this place so much that I will continue to go even tho the challenge is over. They aint seen nothing yet. Staff was amazing. Each day there was a different routine and being able to choose the time i went was dope. I have tried other fitness joints but none by far impress me more than elite edge.

Fantastic experience: I decided to try this Elite Edge 6 Week Challenge and paid the fee 2 days before everything was shut down due to Covid-19. 4 Months later, I have just finished the “6 Week” Challenge and am 22.2 pounds lighter. Here is a brief review of my experience with Elite Edge South Des Moines and their 6 Week Challenge. First off, they have classes to choose from all day. It was easy to find a time that worked perfectly for my schedule. I chose the 6am time slot because I just don’t wake up early enough for work… Lauren is my trainer and my experiences with her have shown me that she loves helping others improve their health and life. She makes a priority out of hard work and accountability. She achieved that with me through a positive, personal, and disciplined approach. The workouts were fast paced and she pushed me very hard. I liked the structure Lauren created in the workouts. Next we have the FTDI meal plan. I found it to be very restrictive in regard to what I could eat. But I never felt hungry. It definitely worked for me though. An interesting side effect to the meal plan is that I became a better cook. There were so few things I could eat (for six weeks), it forced me to get creative with the spices and combinations. I actually enjoyed this about the challenge quite a bit. Overall, I believe the program works. I have a lot more energy and I like the people they have in place to help me achieve my personal health goals. I even joined Elite Edge after the 6 Week Challenge was over. This program is very hard. But with a positive and committed attitude, even more rewarding.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the Elite Edge family! With hard work and dedication you can see and feel results within the first 30 days! Highly recommend. I was hesitant to try Elite out because of how out of shape I was, but that isn't the case whatsoever. They are for everyone and anyone, no matter how out of shape you are. I am on my second 30 day challenge and cannot wait to see my results. My first challenge I lost 26.5 lbs in just 30 days!! So glad that I have dedicated myself to this journey and able to share with Elite!!

Fantastic experience: I was a student athlete in high school and was in the United States Air Force. However in my late 20's to early 30's I let myself go. Heavy partying and heavy eating got me to an undesriable weight and level of fitness. At the ripe age of 31 I decided to chase my childhood dream of becoming a professional wrestler. although I have been living that dream for the past 5 years my weight and level of fitness has held me back in my performance in the ring. Elite Edge has helped me get back on track with my health and fitness. I'm feeling like my old self again. The workouts are hard but the coaches are great at pushing and motivating you. 4 weeks into my six week challenge I signed up for a year. today I completed my 6 week challenge and am 21.4lbs lighter, but more importantly I feel great and have my confidence back. I'm excited to see where I can go from here and feel sorry for the next guy that steps into the ring with me

Fantastic experience: Being apart of this gym changed my life. I started out doing the six week challenge just to lose some weight and got hooked. The workouts are amazing and I love the people. Feels like a family and the gym feels like another home to me. I ended up getting a membership and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Can’t wait to continue my journey here!!! If you are on the fence about changing your lifestyle this is the place to start. They even work with you on what meal plan will work for you. It’s more than just a gym membership and I’d recommend this place to anyone that’s ready to put in the work and change their life.

Fantastic experience: Taking the Elite Edge 6 Week Challenge has been one of the best moves I’ve made during this turbulent and challenging year. Like so many people do, I lost sight of maintaining a healthy diet and exercising over a 3 year period. I was miserable. Finally, I decided to do something about it and enrolled in the Elite Edge 6 week challenge that had always popped up in my Facebook feed. During the challenge I focused on eating clean by following the meal plan provided. I attended all the classes during the week along with some Saturdays (which is recommended, though not required). My trainer, Lauren Springer, was very patient and watched closely to ensure my form was correct and pushed me to my max. Having just completed the challenge on 8/22/20, I can honestly say that I feel rejuvenated. I am down 22 pounds as of my last weigh-in, my clothes now actually fit, and my energy level is through the roof. Happy to report that I will be continuing with Elite Edge and look forward to the next challenge they have planned.

Fantastic experience: I joined Elite Edge back in July for their 6 week challenge, I absolutely love everything about this center! The trainers there help you push yourself for better and are always concerned about their trainees. If you have never worked out or don’t know anything about going to the gym, I recommend this transformation center! They help you with any questions you may have and they are right by your side no matter what! I struggled to get to losing my 20 lbs in the challenge but I was helped by my trainer and manager to lose the few extra pounds I had to lose in a week and I ended up losing 21 pounds!! You don’t just change physically, but you change mentally as well by always thinking positive. Anything is possible if you put your mind into it.

Fantastic experience: The 6-week challenge at Elite Edge was exactly what I needed. I have always been active and eaten healthy-ish, but I had let my weight creep up and it got to the point I finally admitted I didn’t have the tools to help myself. The clear routine and accountability measures built into both the workout program and nutrition plan kept me motivated. While it was challenging at times, both physically and mentally, it was fun and energizing and ultimately I came away with amazing results. I lost 21.4 pounds, look great, feel great, and now have the tools and confidence that I need to maintain this healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 6 week challenge 21 lbs down! The program works. The workouts are great for all fitness levels and coaches are very knowledgeable, and able to modify workouts for individual needs. As you get stronger the workouts are designed to continue to challenge you. The coaches are very understanding never judgmental and you never feel out of place. There are many class times to fit into anyone’s busy life. Along with the initial 6 week meal plan they also have and extended meal plan that promotes healthy eating. Coaches are available for questions to help individualize meal plan for each persons needs to get the results they are looking for. Would totally recommend Elite Edge to anyone that wants to get healthier.

Fantastic experience: hello everyone today I want to share my own experience in elite edge. I looked at a post on Facebook, then I read the content and it seemed interesting because in the last year I still gained a lot of weight. So I decided to join this challenge. At first I was a little scared of how hard it could be, exercise, diet, six weeks. but then I deleted that from my mind, and I started working on it, and really the exercise was difficult, but never impossible, the more time passed, the more I liked to train. After my first weigh-in, I lost 6.5 pounds and that motivated me more. In the second and third weeks I got stuck in the same weight, but my trainers SHAUN AND CHICO. They helped me with that, they always answered my doubts, they were very kind and respectful. CHICO made adjustments to my diet and gave me support. The training every time seemed better and I really liked it. I also love that both coaches and ELITE EDGE members always motivate and help you thanks to CHICO who was always attentive to what I needed, and to his support, I was able to successfully complete this challenge. I highly recommend this transformation center because it worked for me, and it worked for almost everyone who took the challenge with me, just always remember FTDI

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Elite Edge. I just completed a 6 week challenge and was impressed the workouts. If you are looking for an atmosphere that is encouraging, motivating, fun, & challenging, this is your place. The coaches are knowledgeable and very helpful to make sure you are doing the exercises properly. I really like that the exercises change daily so you do not get bored doing the same things over and over. I came into this challenge solely wanting to use the 6 weeks to get start on losing some weight, but loved the workouts so much that I am became a member.

Jessie Fessler 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin, elite edge definitely gave me my confidence back. I could have easily continued with another 6 week challenge but sadly fitting it in schedule just couldn’t work anymore. But after doing the challenge I lost 22.1 pounds. Which is more then amazing to me. I enjoy getting compliments from coworkers and family on how good and healthy I look. I couldn’t have done that without the help of all the people at elite pushing me to be a better me. Brady with all the 4am classes and of course my rock Lauren with all the night classes. They aren’t just coaches they are family. In the future I would love nothing more then to either do another 6 week challenge or even become a member. After the last couple of years I had I had no where else to turn, this was the heaviest I had ever been, I was dealing with a lot of personal issues. After finding this gym and loving the atmosphere and people I knew that, I needed to be there. Best decision i had made in the last couple of years. Thank you again for everything. I do plan on returning!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! The coaches and other members are awesome. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. I have just completed my first 6 week challenge. I lost 22lbs! I was so nervous my first day. I really had no idea what to expect, I was completely surprised at how much I really enjoy the class. Plus they have a 4am class (only one I could realistically make it to). I'll be started a second 6 week challenge in a couple of days and then I'll most definitely be joining the gym. The coaches are so knowledgeable and actually care about your success. They help you when you need it and push you to give it your all. I am no where close to where I want to be, but after just 6 short weeks i have seen a difference. I have lost mot only the 22lbs l, but so many inches. I am so much stronger than I was and with the help of Elite Edge I'm confident I'll get where I want to be.
