I just finished the six week challenge at Elite Edge in grimes with the goal to lose weight and get back in the gym on a consistent basis. It was great experience and the coaches were there to help with all the questions I had along the way. The enjoyed always changing workouts and all the people at the gym always pushing each other to do better. They give you a very specific meal plan to help you complete your goals which made eating healthier easy. I would recommend Elite Edge to anyone, whether starting from a beginner level or you have been working out your whole life.

What do I say about my 6 week challenge at Elite Edge? It produces results. I lost a total of 26 pounds during the 6 weeks. It was a lot of work. I put in 5-6 workouts per week, which really wasn’t the hard part for me. The meal plan is what is much harder. It is very limited, but I can’t argue with the results. I would spend 1-2 hours each weekend prepping for the week. Overall I’m extremely satisfied with the results. It took discipline and perseverance, but man the results are fantastic!

Over six weeks ago I was weighing my heaviest and decided to take the step on joining the 6 week challenge. This iwas one of the best decisions I made for my health. I managed to loose 22 pounds by following the instructions and going to the morning workouts. I loved the motivation and support given by the coaches. On every single weigh-in they were able to provide me pointers of what I needed to do if I wasn’t meeting my goals. Workouts were hard and never the same but was able to modify. Workouts are definitely due-able at any fitness level. This was definitely a start to my healthy journey!Loved how was reminded that if I set my mind to something, I’m capable of doing it, just by following the damn instructions!

Week 5 #6weekchallenge #eliteedge complete!? How’s my progress?5x per week work outs ✔️Clean, lean eating ✔️Water intake ✔️Facebook Check ins ✔️On pace to lose 20lbs ?nope.Does that mean I failed?This challenge has taught me more about myself and my body than I expected to learn. I learned that I’m capable of making a big commitment for ME and following through, that my body might need more focus on balance and form before I can move into the next phase of growth, and was reminded that being mindful starts with how we treat ourselves. Finding a program where I can work at my pace alongside others rowing toward their own goals has been transformative. I think I win this challenge, no matter what the scale says. And I’ve decided to continue in for at least another 6 months to see where this takes me.Thanks to Elite Edge Transformation Center Grimes Eric Howser Alex Mitchell for creating a space for anyone to be successful in making healthy personal changes!

Six weeks ago, I weighed the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life. I did some research and narrowed down a couple of different gyms. After talking with Ryan Wagers, I decided to try Elite Edge Transformation Center Grimes 6 week challenge. My final weigh in today, I was 28 pounds less than where I began. I still have a long way to go, but know that I am at the gym that works best for me. They have modified workouts, that work for everyone, and help push you to your limit. Every day is a different workout, and we have a great support from amazing coaches! I 100% recommend Elite Edge.

Been a member for a few years and it’s great! Especially since Eric Howser took over as owner. Facility is excellent with all equipment you can think of. Trainers (Ryan, Alex, Ginger) are super knowledgeable and helpful.

I just completed my 6 week challenge at elite edge in Grimes. It was a great experience. The coaches were great. They helped keep me focused and made me push myself harder than I could have working out on my own. It’s great working out with a group of like minded people and brings out your competitive side, which is great! It’s a great combination of strength training and cardio to make you stronger and burn fat. Combine that with a strong nutrition plan and all you have to do to succeed is FTDI. I would recommend this for anyone starting out or needing a change in their workout routine.

I recently signed up for the 6 week, 20 pound challenge. I lost 22.4 pounds in 6 weeks.I kept procrastinating, and finally signed up. Hands down, it is one of the best group fitness centers out there. The coaches were great. They provided support and positive encouragement daily. I loved the variety of the classes, with something different each day. With the 20 pound challenge, you follow a strict diet. Although tough, and each week is a challenge, you must stay determined and you will see your end goal! The people you meet while working out are wonderful. There is no intimidation and you work at your own pace. I encourage everyone to try Elite Edge Grimes whether you are looking for a quick 20 pound challenge or an entire lifestyle change.

After having a baby I needed a kick start to lose the baby weight. My initial 6 week challenge after baby I lost 20lbs and then I did the challenge again to lose the rest of the baby weight. 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 Grimes (trainers are the best!) 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!

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.

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!!

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!

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..

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.
