Elite Edge Transformation Center Grimes

Fantastic experience: I completed a six week program at Elite Edge transformation Center in Grimes. I lost 20.9 lbs in 6 weeks by working out and following the diet plan. I hadn’t worked out in years and was super nervous that I would not be able to do the workouts. The trainers Alex and Ryan were great on helping me make any adaptations I needed to be able to do the work outs. Everyone was super supportive and non-judgmental. I like the trainer led work outs. The gym is always clean, and there are always plenty of supplies for everyone. I like the fact that I get feedback on my form and encouragement from the trainers throughout the work out.

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin I started this challenge with some apprehension due to my age (61) and both hips replaced plus shoulder problems etc., but I am so grateful I did. I completed the 6 week challenge and lost at total of 23 lbs. Thanks to Eric Howser for pushing me and not treating me any different than the younger folks. His enthusiasm and knowledge was exceptional. I also want to thank Ryan Wagers for his help and encouragement on muscle growth and pushing us to be the best we can be. To say it was easy would be a total lie. Everyday was a challenge and I learned a lot about myself and my untapped ability. Shout out also to Brandi Page Buskohl for kindly answering all my questions at the beginning of the challenge. If you need to get in shape and lose some weight, I would highly recommend Elite Edge Transformation Center!! Thanks again, and on to the next phase!

Fantastic experience: Updated 4/1/2022: I just completed my second 6-week challenge at Elite Edge in Grimes, and I could not be more pleased with the results. Success all the way around!! Lost another 22 pounds (45 total) and have seen a big improvement in my strength and balance and just feel better overall. New owners part way through seemed to energize the whole facility (thanks Eric). Workouts were challenging, but the trainers were right there with you every step of the way to make sure you were working to improve and not slacking off (thanks Ryan). The other members of the Elite Edge fit family are awesome. It is nice to have someone to encourage you when you need it and it is also nice to have someone to commiserate with when there is a tough workout. The meal plan takes commitment, but it can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. If you need structure in your fitness journey and people who have your best interest at heart, then Elite Edge might be the place for you. Check it out!! I highly recommend it!! I signed up for the Grimes Elite Edge 6 week challenge for a New Year's resolution. I was hesitant to do so during Covid and coming off an accident last summer where I broke my clavicle, ribs and had a concussion. 6 weeks later I am happy to say I'm down 23 pounds and I feel better than I have in a long time. But even more than the weight loss, I have noticed improvements in my energy, strength and sleep routine. Ryan is the most energetic trainer at 5 and 6 am! He offers encouragement daily and always has substitiutions available if you can't handle an exercise right away. Queenie is always available for questions and is very helpful. D is a new trainer at night that I've only worked with a couple of times, but he is good. The meal plan takes some advance planning, but I found enough variety to keep me interested and on track. I would definitely recommend checking out the Grimes location if you want to take control of your health. They will help you get where you want to be..

Fantastic experience: I took the Elite Edge 6 week challenge and I’m so glad I did! Prior to taking the challenge I had no knowledge of nutrition or exercise. I was not confident in my abilities at all. Every week I pushed through, learned more, lost weight, and got stronger! I absolutely recommend this challenge for anyone, even if you are extremely gym shy like me. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I’m so happy I did. The environment is great and the coaches are extremely supportive in pushing you and helping you in any way possible. Ryan helped me so much to stay on track and not give up. :)

Fantastic experience: I recently finished a 6 week challenge at Elite Edge Grimes. I can not say enough about this program. By following the program I lost over 20lbs in 6 weeks. This program is for everyone no matter what age or what shape you are in. The workouts are tough but rewarding. The coaches are energetic and motivating. They make sure you are using the proper form and will help with modifications if needed. They help push you when you are ready to give up. Not only do you get a coach, but Elite Edge has an online community to ask questions and support. If you are looking for a program to to help with your health goals this is it!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I just finished my six week challenge and I lost over 20 pounds! Ryan is an amazing trainer. He gets to know everyone personally. He is highly motivating and does a great job explaining the exercises and helping anyone modify if you need it. Eric is also a great trainer! I love how he pushes you to keep going and do your best. Since he’s taken over ownership the changes he’s made have been awesome. I love how easy it is to get in and out and get going. I go to the 6 am class and the people are so welcoming. Definitely check it out if you are looking for a jump start to weight loss and getting healthy!

Fantastic experience: I joined the 6 week challenge at the beginning of 2022. I am a mom of 3 and haven’t focused on my health in awhile. I lost 27 pounds during the 6 weeks in a healthy way! The nutrition plan seems hard to follow at first but it’s not at all! Prepping and planning is the key to success. The workouts are so much fun and the trainers make sure everyone knows the movements before starting. Ryan was so good at modifying if needed and also encouraging to go up in weights if you could. He would come by and drop a heavier kettlebell by you hinting that you can do more! I would recommend this style gym to anybody, any size, any age!

Fantastic experience: I started my 6 week challenge on January 3rd. I was a little apprehensive due to the fact I've had many injuries in the last year. I met Ryan who is the morning trainer/coach and he is super friendly. He is always watching and offering options when you have the inability to complete the exercises due to limitations you may have because of injuries. Ryan comes up with a very well laid exercise plan that if you follow through will get you the desired results. The diet was very tight but also helps you reset your life. I started at 254.4 pounds and finished my last weigh in at 227.7. I felt amazing and loved the ability to go to other classes. you have several options to work out and never are limited in when you can go. D is a new trainer as well there and is also very helpful. I liked the different styles each trainer provides and highly recommend if you want to do this, just do it! you will be successful.

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience with my 6 week challenge. Queenie did a great job of getting me in and going over the plan, explaining all of the details and answering my questions. I went to the 5am class where the people were kind and accepting. Ryan was a great motivator and tried to get to know each person individually. I really enjoyed the workouts and the format. Ryan was able to explain how the day was going to go and how to do each exercise, which is very comforting for someone new. I loved how individuals at all levels could do the same workout but challenge themselves. I would recommend anyone who is trying to get a quick start on their journey to try a challenge or membership. It is a great atmosphere that will meet your needs.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to start the New Year off right, so when I saw the ad for a 6 week challenge, I jumped at the opportunity. Queenie gave me all of the information I needed to know before taking on this challenge. I started this challenge at 215.7 lbs. After 6 weeks of 5 days a week in the gym, most weeks all 6 days, I lost 25.6 lbs! The program is all laid out for you, all down to what you need to be eating. It is a pretty stripped down, whole food, basic diet. This keeps room for error out of the mix. They offer many workout session times throughout the day during the week and 2 session times on Saturday. I primarily chose the 5am class during the week, this was super convenient in not disrupting my daily schedule. Ryan was/is my primary trainer and D also trained/trains me on Saturdays. Both are excellent and have their own style of working out, which lends to the success of the program. I am beyond satisfied with the results after only 6 weeks of dedication. Looking forward to continuing my progress here for the foreseeable future!

Fantastic experience: I started the 6 week program right after NYE. I was not happy with my weight or how my clothes fit. I loved the work outs and made every singe 5AM class the six weeks. Meal prep was really important. I actually enjoyed the meal prep and looked forward to my meals. Being creative with spices was key. The first couple weeks were difficult but getting into the routine and working out is now something I look forward to. The meal plan can be challenging but seeking out other members ideas on meal creations made it easier. The staff at Elite Edge are wonderful and pushed me each day to do better than I thought I could. Thank you for helping me reach my goals and I look forward to continuing the healthy lifestyle I have discovered!

Fantastic experience: I love Elite Edge! I started working out there with their 6-week challenge and ended up signing up for a membership. It is a great place to start especially if you are not sure what to do at the gym. The trainers do a great job making sure that the workouts stay fresh, while also making sure to push you to do your best. They were also able to help with diet, making sure you eat enough, while still meeting your goals. I have noticed great changes, not just on the scale, but also with how I feel. Everyone is so nice and helpful. So glad to have found this gym!!

Fantastic experience: I just finished the Elite Edge six-week challenge at the Grimes Iowa location, and I can’t say enough good things about it, if you are looking to lose some weight or get into shape then this is the place for you. Just show up every day, work hard, follow the program and you will see the weight fall right off. The workouts were fun to do, and no two days were ever the same. The trainers were very professional and great to work with. They would push you at just the right times, and if they saw you struggling with any exercise, they wouldn’t hesitate to come over and give you advice on it or even show you an alternate exercise to do to help build you up to where you needed to be. It was $400 to sign up but the best part about the six-week challenge is that if you stick to it, follow the directions, and loose the twenty pounds then they give you a full refund of the program cost – what a motivator to keep you going!

Fantastic experience: Prior to joining Elite Edge Transformation Center in Grimes, I had tried a few other gyms, but I did not get the results I got within the first two weeks of joining Elite Edge. This place is very clean, sanitized and well kept. The trainers are eager to help and will take time with you to understand your goals and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. Trainers always take their time to go over the exercise to make sure you are doing them correctly so that you don’t hurt yourself and will make sure you push your limits to whatever they may be! So far, I have lost a lot of weight and I feel great. The classes are intense for every level, and you will love the diverse workout combinations The trainers will make adjustments according to your comfort while getting great results. They have a great food plan too and they have several open hours depending on your schedule.

Fantastic experience: After a long hiatus from exercise, I was very nervous about going back to a gym. I also was at the worst place I've been in with my health. Everyday tasks were so tiring, I knew it was time for a change. Elite Edge gave me a place that I could be successful and grow without judgment. The coaches have been so motivating and have definitely given me a great start. My health goals are big, but I know I can accomplish them with Elite Edge!

Fantastic experience: I started the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge Transformation on November 1st in with the goal to lose 20 lbs. in 6 weeks. I was able to achieve this goal and lost 21 lbs., and decided to sign up for more classes and continue to improve myself. I have worked out on my own on and off, but when I signed up and started classes there, I learned a lot about exercise and nutrition and noticed a big difference in just the 1st week. The instructors there are great to work with and they really helped me stay motivated. They made sure that I was doing my best while making sure I’m doing workouts properly to make sure I’m getting the most out of them. Even if I’m not able to make it into class, they were more than willing to send me workouts to do from home so I could keep my progress. I would definitely recommend signing up at Elite Edge Transformation if you are looking for a good environment to start getting healthy.

Fantastic experience: From the day I walked in to signing up for the 6 week challenge, Elite has been nothing but the best decision I ever made. Everyone at Grimes from trainers to manager to the amazing members have been so helpful and supportive. I continued to get help and support to lose the 20 lbs in the 6 week with the diet and daily workouts. I have never pushed myself in a way with getting the motivation I needed. I notice the changes in my strength, stamina, and health over all. After trying something new, I would continue to recommend Elite Edge to everyone as I continue my membership with them. They will always be helping you reach your goals and help train you.

Fantastic experience: I just completed a successful six week challenge at Elite Edge Transformation Center Grimes. It was such an amazing experience, it was very hard at first, but it pushed me to limit I did not think I could reach. Coaches were amazing and have really positive attitudes. They do a great job checking in, seeing if you needed any help. i’m very happy with my results especially with the body I have now. I didn’t expect myself to lose 23.1 pounds in six week..but I did it. Since elite edge gym help me a lot I decided to be a member of the gym. I still can’t believe I lost 23.1 pounds, i’m so happy I decided to join elite edge and do the six week challenge. Thank you so much for the help:)

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge in Grimes from day one was truly an amazing experience. Just after the first week and already seeing great results was very eye opening and inspiring. Coach Payton and coach Ryan were great throughout the whole experience. They made sure to check in often and make sure you were on track. The coaches were always around to make sure that you were getting as an effective workout as possible. Another thing that was great about this location is that it was a judgment free zone. Everyone was there for the same reasons and that’s all that matters. The equipment was also very good. I struggled loosing significant weight before, but this was a sure and easy way to loose 20lb or more, as long as you follow the process the weight will come off. Once again thank you Elite Edge!!!

Fantastic experience: After having a baby I needed a kick start to get back in shape so I started the 6 week challenge! The workouts are great for all fitness levels and adapted with me as I slowly got back into the groove of working out again. The trainers are awesome and so high energy. The variety of workouts ensures a full body workout and that you don’t get bored. I would highly recommend Elite Edge to anyone looking for a new and fresh workout routine that doesn’t get boring! I was able to not only lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks but also feel so much healthier!

Fantastic experience: It took a lot to convince myself to get out of my comfort zone and actually sign up for the 20 pound 6 week challenge at Elite Edge in Grimes ....but I’m so happy I did!! With the help and encouragement of coaches Ryan & Payton, not only did I lose the weight, but have many ‘non scale accomplishments’ as well!! Clothes fit better, I feel physically and emotionally better, and I’ve found a new appreciation for eating healthy! The challenge may be over, but there’s still lots of work to do! I know the team at Elite Edge Grimes will help me get to where I want to be in my health and fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I simply cannot say enough good things about Elite Edge located in Grimes Iowa. Quite honestly, I was on the fence about doing the 6 Week Challenge. I am now glad that I accepted the challenge. The coaches are not only friendly, they are extremely knowledgeable. They make the entire experience very enjoyable. I was not only able to learn correct/proper lifting techniques, they also taught me how eat and keep my body fueled. I plan on continuing my journey of becoming a better person by joining up for another year. I look forward to gaining more experience and gaining more self-confidence as I progress onto heavier weights and more complex exercises. So, if you are also on the fence about joining Elite Edge, do it NOW. Begin your journey to a better you.

Fantastic experience: I heard about the Elite Edge Six Week Challenge through my mom. After listening to her go on about how much fun the challenge was and seeing her weight loss results first hand, I knew I had to try it out myself. At first I was pretty nervous. I hadn’t stepped foot in a gym in years. The coaches were extremely helpful and supportive through out the entire six weeks by explaining and demonstrating each exercise individually. Depending on your fitness level there were always alternate exercises available. Which was great for someone like me who came into this challenge with zero gym experience. Over all I had a lot of fun doing the Six Weeks Elite Edge Gym Challenge. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to kick start their fitness journey but isn’t quite sure on where to start.

Fantastic experience: I am no stranger to the gym. I’m sure that I have tried every single one in the area. Unfortunately, they never keep me entertained long enough to continue going and to see results. It was different with Elite Edge Transformation Center – Grimes. I love that the workouts are provided and written on the board daily. I no longer have to walk into a gym and figure out what workout I am going to try and YouTube that day. The trainers, Payton and Ryan, are absolutely amazing. They truly care about your goals and are committed to helping you achieve them. I started this gym by doing the six week challenge. The challenge gave me the jump start to lose 22.7 pounds and have the motivation and energy to continue to work on my goals. My husband and I are in this journey together and we committed to a yearlong membership with Elite Edge Transformation Center – Grimes. I am truly excited to continue working on crushing our goals and reversing years of bad habits.

Fantastic experience: At first, I was hesitant to try elite edge again because it had been two year's since I have really worked out. As a diesel mechanic lifting heavy machinery, I was honestly exhausted every day. I lacked the motivation, but the coaches encouraged me and made it fun. I honestly lost a lot of weight in the first two weeks because the nutrition plan is legit and specifically designed for you to succeed. I learned my body is more energized when I work out more often and I can make healthy foods enjoyable. Thanks ryan and staff for getting me back into a manageable weight and pants size. You guys are the best!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended this gym. I just completed my 6 Week Challenge at the Grimes location and I could not be more satisfied with my results. Prior to this challenge I was having trouble loosing weight on my own and was feeling discouraged. I knew that this would be the jump start I needed (and it was). The coaches are amazing, so encouraging, and they take their time to make sure you are on the right track with your health and weigh loss journey. During workouts both Payton and Ryan were motivating and pushed me when they knew I could do more. They truly made workouts so enjoyable, I left the gym daily feeling great!

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 6 week challenge through Elite and wow! My final weigh in was 23.5lbs, amazing! I started this challenge with my husband when we had decided enough was enough. Completely overweight and out of shape, hadn't worked out in years. To be honest I was worried I wouldn't be able to do the work. I couldn't have done it without the help of the trainers. They are SO fantastic on every level. listened to any concerns I had and provided solutions each and every time. continued to give me the motivation to keep pushing when I didn't think I had anything left. They genuinely cared about helping meet my goal and exceeding it. I'm addition the environment is upbeat and positive! I couldn't wait to sign up for a membership, it's safe to say I found my home gym.

Fantastic experience: I took the six week challenge at the Grimes Elite Edge. Queennie, Ryan and Payton were supportive, helpful and responsive to questions and ultimately helped me reach my goal of losing 20 pounds. The workouts are a fun mix of cardio and lifting days, and the workouts are accessible and they’re always different, which keeps the classes challenging and never boring. After a challenge, the staff is also good at helping you continue to set and achieve new goals. I’d recommend Grime Elite Edge to anyone who is interested in losing weight, losing body fat, gaining muscle, or some combination of the three.

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a place to start to lose weight their 6 week challenge great place to start. They coach you by through everything and give you nutrition advice to help u reach your goal. I did two challenges back to back a few years back and lost a bunch of weight. Gained some of it back so decided to give it a try again!! I lost a total of 26.4 pounds this time! Its a small group fitness training group that they help u beginner or advanced help u learn and safely work out. I’ve tried other gyms and I feel like this is the Only place I’ve been able to actually lose the weight and then tone and strengthen ! That’s why I came back!! Coach Payton and Ryan are amazing coaches!! They make it fun but also hold u accountable and motivate u along the way!!Highly recommend if u are looking to lose weight and get into shape!! I’m so glad to be back to get myself back at it again!!

Fantastic experience: I was a bit skeptical coming into the 6 week challenge after having a baby, this pandemic, and all the daily stressors of life. However, wow am I happy I did! I lost over 20 pounds for my first 6 week challenge, am rolling over into a second one, signed up for a year long membership, and it has been amazing! This has completely changed my life. I am healthier, feel better, and so much happier! The coaches are amazing. Payton and Ryan are both hilarious but they do not mess around in terms of getting you to work. They are both amazing coaches. Group fitness has completely blown me away at the power that it has for every individuals success. Exercises are tough but you you want to sweat when you come to the gym. They are super willing to make accommodations for each exercise to fit the level of comfort for the individual as well. Overall extremely happy, will recommend to anyone, and can’t wait to loose more weight! Thank you to the staff at Elite Edge for helping me become a better me! I could not be any happier. I have tried so many gyms and never ended up liking any of them. Elite edge is more than just a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have only amazing things to say about Elite Edge Grimes. I took the 6 week challenge ready for a change but nervous about starting. From the beginning everyone there has been welcoming and encouraging. I could have never met my 20 pound weight loss goal without their motivation, guidance, and expertise. Thank you Queenie for being a bright and welcoming smile everyday. Thank you to all the trainers for helping change people’s lives. Don’t think twice about joining this gym or taking on the 6 week challenge. You would not regret it!! I’m excited because this is only the beginning of my health and fitness journey and I know Elite Edge will continue to help me reach my goals!! Updated review 2021: I signed up and succeeded in yet another 6 week challenge! This time around I will say it was more difficult for me because of the holidays and colder weather. But the support was even better because of it. The encouragement and motivation from Queennie made this challenge do able. The workouts never disappointed and I always left feeling stronger and more accomplished than when I came in. Thanks to Payton, Ryan, Queennie and Dylan for training us and having this program available for the community. I will always encourage people to sign up for this challenge because the goal is very attainable. This gym gives you all the tools you need to be successful.

Fantastic experience: had a baby 7 months ago. I gained a lot of weight and decided I needed to do something about it. I had originally worked out at the Johnston location before getting pregnant and loved the gym but they closed so I decided to reach out to the grimes location and I’m glad I did. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with this gym and the coaches. I just finished my 2nd 6 week challenge and lost a total of 49 pounds since making the decision to get my life back on track. The people are friendly and the couches push you. The workouts are always different and it’s really nice working out in a group atmosphere. I love that I don’t have to worry about coming up with my own workout, only thing you have to do is show up! I still have more weight to loose and tone up more but I bought a membership and will continue to show up every morning

Fantastic experience: I walked into Elite Edge 6 weeks ago knowing I needed to change my eating and workouts. I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to complete the workouts but was put at ease when I was instantly greeted by members and staff. The nutrition was easy to understand and the workouts on the board were helpful. Ryan and Payton explained each class very well and walk around encouraging all of us during class. Every class is different and keeps challenging me. I surprised myself when I saw the final weigh in and lost 21.4 lbs. I will be continuing this journey and continue to work towards my personal health goals. I know that Ryan and Payton will continue to cheer me on!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a successful 6 week challenge at elite edge grimes, losing 22 pounds! The 6 week program is a great way to get started at the gym, and consists of a variety of weight focused and cardio focused workouts (don’t worry, you’ll always end up with a good sweat!). I enjoyed the pacing of the class, especially on circuit days. The other members are supportive and are good sports for fun sports type finisher challenges. Queenie was very specific with what the challenge entailed and a private Facebook group provided a place for questions and support. The trainers, Ryan and Payton are always available for modifications and encouragement! I would recommend the program to anyone looking to jump feet first into improving their fitness!

Fantastic experience: People are nice, motivate you and have fun with you all while working out! Ryan and Payton have been great at modifying workouts for me. I had back surgery and still struggled at times but they kept a close eye and made sure I didn’t break myself! The food was good and we loved the cardio workouts! They also have great protein shakes try the Reese’s! The owners even came in and motivated us sometimes. They would joke with us and keep us motivated. I ended up loosing more than my goal weight. If you are struggling unmotivated this is your place!!

Fantastic experience: I started my 6-week challenge with the Elite Edge Transformation Center at the Grimes location with no knowledge or experience regarding the challenge. Needless to say, I had my doubts and skepticism on how the actual program worked. However, discussing the program with my coach, I was excited to start the 6-week journey into better health and fitness. As I started the first week of training, the uncertainty settled back in as I wondered if I could complete 5 more weeks of this. However, as the weeks went by, I realized the transformation in myself. I started to feel healthier and thanks to the coaches, Ryan and Payton, I successfully completed the 6-week challenge!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge Grimes. It was just the kickstart I needed to get back on track with my health. I have done various challenges and different exercise programs in the past, and I can say this one was my favorite. And the most successful! I lost 20+ pounds and feel great. The workouts are challenging and never the same, so you won’t get bored. In addition, the coaches are fun and encouraging. They checked in often to make sure I was feeling good, addressed any of my concerns, and just to see how things were going. I would highly recommend anyone to try out the 6 week challenge to get their own kick start back to healthy!

Fantastic experience: It took a lot to convince myself to get out of my comfort zone and actually sign up for the 6 week challenge to lose 20 pound. I actually lost 24.5, this has completely changed my life, I am healthier, feel better, and so much happier. A big thanks to Ryan and Payton for always pushing me to do my best. Thanks so much to Ryan for pushing me to go up in weight for kettlebell and dumbbells. I totally recommend Elite Edge Transformation Center, for anyone that would like to lose weight and try something new in there lifestyle. Thank you to anyone that wished me luck and told me I could do it.

Fantastic experience: I want to send out a big thank you to Coach Ryan Wagers and all of the elite edge staff for working hard to ensure my husband and I met our goals. We both had very positive experiences and were challenged in all the right ways exactly when we needed it. We learned a lot about personal nutritional, weight lifting, and received general fitness advice anytime we sought it. Ryan paid close attention to strengths and weaknesses of each of our personal performance and helped us both get stronger. I can honestly say we are both more confident on the gym equipment and our overall results. This journey has inspired me to keep coming to maintain my progress.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a 6-week challenge and lost 20+ lbs. A friend asked me if I would be interested in doing a challenge with her. I was hesitant at first, but after talking about the different options with Kyle decided to sign-up. I won’t lie, the 6-week challenge is hard, but if you put the work in and follow the instructions it definitely works! The coaches/trainers, Ryan and Payton, are awesome! They are super helpful and encouraging throughout the whole process. During the 6-weeks I can honestly say that we never did the same workout twice. The variety of weightlifting and cardio is great so you never get bored. I also liked that I was able to choose from multiple class times throughout the day to fit within my schedule. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering doing the 6-week challenge or looking to join a gym.

Fantastic experience: A HUGE shoutout is needed to Elite Edge in Grimes as well as the two trainers, Payton Dutcher & Ryan Wagers! I walked into the gym a little over 6 weeks ago needing a major jump start to getting back into shape after really losing my footing through Covid. Payton signed me up for the 6 week challenge and I started a few days later. Both trainers worked with me daily on correcting all my terrible form issues and I felt my back and core getting stronger each week. They were tough, but super encouraging every single day I walked into the gym! I followed their plan (FTDP) and found discipline that I didn’t know I was capable of - I was pushed hard to do my very best every day and I could not be happier! After 6 weeks, I hit my weight goal, lowered my cholesterol to being in the 130’s (I cannot remember the last time I saw a number like that ) and I feel fantastic. Anybody wanting an incredible, supportive gym where they know your name and will work with you on all your goals, this is the place to be! Thank you Payton and Ryan for everything!!! Looking forward to continuing my daily workouts with both of you!

Fantastic experience: Last summer I signed up for a one month membership and enjoyed the atmosphere that Elite Edge Gym provided. I decided to get out of my comfort zone this year and give the 6 week challenge a go. It's one of the best decisions I've made for my health. The coaches push you throughout the challenge and are always available for tips and advice. By following the program that they have in place, I believe anyone can accomplish this challenge. If you're looking to get in shape, shed a few pounds, and get a jump start to a healthy lifestyle then this is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: I am grateful that I took the 6 week challenge and stuck with it! I personally was in a Covid stupor. I have had a tough year and through the stress I put on excessive weight. With guidance from the coaches, I learned a new meal plan and was pushed, motivated and inspired during work outs and it ultimately lead to me losing over 20 pounds. The plan works when you work the plan and I meet my goal. I now can call Elite Edge Transformation my home gym. I enjoy the atmosphere, I have gained a supportive gym family that continues to help me push myself. I am getting stronger, healthier, happier and smaller by the day. If you are on the edge and are not sure if this program is for you... JUST DO IT, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I just successfully completed my first 6-week challenge and will be rolling it over to another challenge. This gym has a great environment, no judgment. The trainers have always been super helpful in pointing out technique improvements and keeping me motivated at 6 AM, which is no easy feat! I really enjoy the workouts. There is quite a bit of variation in the workouts but also consistent enough to measure how much you are improving. All in all, I’d highly recommend this gym as a place to join or at least do the 6-week challenge to get started. You won’t regret giving it a try! Update: I have recently completed my second 6 week challenge. I’ve lost about 45 pounds between both challenges. It has been such a positive experience. In 12 weeks I’ve been able to kick start myself to a healthier lifestyle. The meal plan is something I’ll continue to leverage as I keep working towards my goal. The workouts keep me on my toes and I can tell in just my daily tasks that I’m stronger and have more energy. I’m excited to keep working out here because it’s a great environment, and I’ve met some great friends here too! I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a much-needed change to get a jump start on a healthier lifestyle and drop a few pounds then you need to be at Elite Edge Transformation Center in Grimes, Iowa. This place is too legit to quit. When I first came into the gym, I was a little nervous as I did not know anyone and knew I was going to be sore for the first couple days. Both coaches do an outstanding job keeping you not only motivated and on track, but they also give you all the tools and knowledge needed for you to stay on track for your end goal. I would recommend anyone to give it a shot.

Fantastic experience: Wow! What can I say! I started Elite Edge Grimes 6 weeks ago overweight eating very unhealthy and felt bloated all the time! After the 6 week program. I lost over 20 pounds!! The diet was the hardest but very rewarding. The hardest part for me was drinking the water 1 gallon a day but I had more energy and overall feel more comfortable in my own body! I noticed the difference in how my clothes fit at the end and how much more muscle I had. Thanks to Payton and Ryan the coaches for always encouraging me to work harder, stay on track and have a positive attitude! I would recommend joining elite edge to anyone! It’s hard work but the work pays off in how you feel and how you look! You also can get your money back at the end of the 6 week challenge. Lastly you make great friends! I ended up joining for a year because I love it so much!

Fantastic experience: I just completed my second 6 week challenge at the Elite Edge Transformation Center Grimes and I'm beyond pleased with the results. I'm down 46 pounds in just 12 weeks and I have more energy than ever. This program is set up to help you succeed and not fail, you just have to put in the effort. They provide a meal guide, that helps you learn to eat healthy and not over eat. Then there is the workouts, they became easier during the second 6 weeks, so I added cardio onto the daily workouts, because I still had energy. The trainers are great, they are encouraging, helpful and very good motivators. They are full of energy which ends up rubbing off onto you and you complete a workout that you thought were impossible to complete. The second 6 week had its on challenges and one of them was food choice. I entered the last week needing to loose 9.5 pounds and with the guidance of my coach, I was able to meet the 20 pound weight loss for this 6 week challenge. I highly recommend Elite Edge Transformation in Grimes. So if you are ready to start a healthier life style give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I would absolutely recommend the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge Grimes! My husband and I signed up for the 6 week challenge together and we will forever be thankful that we did! It is the most welcoming gym I have ever been a part of. All of the staff knew me by name from the start. They all made sure to check in with me regularly to see how things were going. The workouts are challenging and different every day. The meal plan can be difficult at times but if you follow the recommendations, you will find that it is 100% worth it! I got so much more out of the 6 week challenge than I ever thought I would! Not only did I lose the weight, I got stronger and I feel so much better! I am so thankful for everyone at Elite Edge Grimes and I am looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them!

Fantastic experience: Elite Edge is a great gym I just completed my second 6 week challenge. My first of which was 5 years ago in Ankeny. Getting back into the gym is hard work but with great coaches pushing you through tough workouts Elite edge makes working out fun and rewarding. I just lost 21 lbs in my 6 week challenge and have been feeling great! The nutrition plan for the challenge is HARD (mentally) but it works!! Seeing the scale down each week was so motivating! I got the chance to try different class times throughout the 6 weeks and each class is consistent and welcoming also! I really love the vibe of this gym, and the consistency with the schedule helps a lot too! It can be pricey if you’re looking for a lower budget gym option, but it’s so worth it, especially when they have the specials that bring the monthly cost way down. Overall I’d highly suggest Elite Edge in Grimes if you’re looking to get back in a gym with some awesome classes!

Fantastic experience: I did the six week challenge and could not be happier. The trainers helped me reach the goal and lost 20 pounds in the 6 week challenge. I was certain that I was not going to meet the goal since I still had 7 pounds to lose on the last week left. The trainers kept pushing me and believed that I could do it, and they were right! I did everything thing told me to do and it worked. It was not easy but it all comes down to how hard you’re willing to work for it. Elite edge has a great workout environment. I’m normally not the kind of person that likes to workout but the trainers make it fun and really motivate you to meet your goals. If you are really looking for a place to go to and get fit or lose weight, Elite Edge is the place. I have never experienced anything else like it. The trainers are very patient and well help you do the workouts correctly. Signing up at elite edge has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. You will feel much more confident with yourself and feel physical stronger while having fun in the process. Elite edge is very welcoming and becomes like a second family. You will not regret it.
