I completed the 6 week challenge (for the 2nd time) last week and am happy to say it was a success. The first week is tough to get through if you’re just getting into the swing of working out, but once you do, you start seeing results very quickly. I lost 5-6 lbs my first week. The next couple of weeks I plateaued and the coaches worked with me to adjust my calorie intake. That adjustment was critical to my success in completing the challenge and meeting my goals. All the coaches, Eddie, Lauren, Chico, and Joe were there to answer any questions I had about the workouts, food intake, supplements, etc., and they did it with a smile. The coaches also do a great job bringing energy and pushing you through each workout. The variety of the workouts is my favorite part of the program. They do a fantastic job of switching things up on a daily/weekly basis. If you’re looking to get your fitness journey started or need to press the reset button after some time off from the gym, I can’t recommend this gym and program enough.

I just want to say how thankful I am to have met such a wonderful staff and coaches. I went into this weight loss adventure with an open mind and got so much more than what I was looking for. The staff here opens your eyes on how easy your weight loss goals are to achieve. They not only train you on what exercises, but they also teach you on how to fuel your body. They help you with meal preps all the way to a sleep schedule. I would highly recommend anyone who has the slightest interest in starting a weight loss journey, this is the place to go! I know I will be going back to do the 20 lbs in 6 weeks challenge again! Thanks again for everything Elite Edge!

Where do I satrt? My whole life changed when I started the 6 week Challenge im Ankeny lose 20 lbs. So many people doubted me and look at me 22.2 lbs lost. If it wasnt for Chicco giving me the motivation speech, encouraging me and telling me I can do it. With my trainers Eddie Mack and Lauren Springer pushing me when I didn’t think I could they kept saying keep going, You got this. The members were awesome and Eddie and Lauren are the BEST. It wasn’t easy being overweight, Ive had both knees replacements. I need both reversal shoulder surgeries and three weeks before I started I wore a heart monitor. But Look at me now.My knees feel 97% better and I added some years on my life. Thank you Eddie and Lauren for not giving up on me. You modified majority of my exercises and never once complained. If I can do it then you can do it. Cant wait for Round two

I just completed the six week challenge at elite edges Ankeny location, this is a great program I was hesitant at first but after the first week I felt like I’ve been going to this gym for months the staff is very nice ,welcoming and determined to help you complete the challenge. They sell their own protein which is pretty tasty and also is great for everyday use . The gym has great equipment and plenty of it including a sauna and a cold plunge tub i would highly recommend elite edge to anyone as I have signed up since completing the 6 week challenge ,it’s a great workout environment with even better people, thank you Lauren, Eddie, Chico and Joe!!

The team at Elite is so fun, they give you a great workout. From running to lifting and punching the bag. What I love most is the environment, it's a fun carefree, rebel environment. With great music and a warriors spirit.

I successfully completed the 6-week challenge and lost 20 pounds! The workouts were challenging and included a variety of exercises, so you never get bored. The trainers are supportive and are always willing to give you tips on your workout or eating plan. As someone who has never gone to the gym, the challenge could have been overwhelming, but everyone was welcoming and eager to help. Many of the exercise can be modified to fit your skill level, which is nice. The 6-week challenge was a great way to jump start my health and I look forward to continuing my progress as an official gym member!

I just finished the six week challenge! I’m so proud of myself for starting to focus on my health and wellness, and so thankful for all of the support I have received so far from Elite Edge! The boot camp is absolutely incredible, it’s so nice not to have to think about what exercises to do in order to meet my goals, and have someone showing me the proper techniques as well, so I don’t hurt myself more than being sore! I’ve signed up as a member to continue my health and wellness journey, and I think that is the biggest testament to this amazing center. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable and I know I’ll hit all the fitness goals with their help and support! I highly recommend Elite Edge! Come workout with us!

Today, I’ve finally completed a six-week transformation, They were amazing results, and I lost over 20 lbs. The workout at elite was fun, and a lot of supportive. All the coaches are amazing and friendly, willing to help you anytime you need to and they are very knowledgeable. I also love coming here, and seeing the improvement in my health.The classes are always challenging and the instructors are great at helping everyone modify movements-which allows everyone to work at their own level. I highly recommend coming to the elite. You will feel welcome and appreciated from the time you enter the studio until the end of the class and you will be highly satisfied.

About six weeks ago, I started do jiu-jitsu with Josh Neer at Elite Edge. I am very impressed with how professional the class is run. I am excited to keep learning more every time I get on the mat.

I’ve got the BJJ bug after completing the beginner class. It’s also fun having our 2 youngest in the kids BJJ class. Overall having good challenges and feeling sore but in a positive way.

I recently completed the six week challenge, I decided to sign up for a year at Elite edge because I really like the workouts and the staff at the gym. They are very good at helping with form while lifting, and encouraging everyone to do there best during class. I would recommend this gym to anyone. Many doctors say that exercising regularly is a good thing to do because it makes you more healthy. Elite edge is certainly a place where you can go to exercise. Also now that I am in better shape from my time at the gym I feel more prepared to outrun any bears or mountain lions that may attack me while I am away from the house. Additionally if there is a zombie apocalypse I think that I will have a much better chance at outrunning some of my friends so I will not be eaten first. I would not have this new confidence or survival edge without the help of Elite edge gym and it's staff.

I just finished my 6 weeks and lost 21.9lbs?? definitely an exciting motivating experience. Everyone was always super helpful and nice. Everyone made sure you were staying on track and pushed you to reach your goals! They give you a meal plan and a workout plan to help reach your goals. You do the 6 week challenge for yourself but not by yourself and that's what's great! The only thing stopping you is you. Loved my experience at Elite and excited to use all the healthy habits I picked up during the 6 weeks!
