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.

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.

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!!!

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!

I’ve completed the 6 week, 20lbs challenge with Elite Edge. It was fun, fast pace, and gave some fantastic results! I lost a total of 21.9lbs. The coaches at Elite Edge are truly great. All the coaches were patient and had a lot of knowledge about all of the stuff they had us do. I’m happy with everything about this place and I’m excited to do another 6 week challenge starting the 10th!

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.

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!

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.

I would totally recommend elite edge transformation if you are looking to shed lots of pounds. Specially the six week challenge which I took. I am proud to say that I lost 24 pounds and it wasn’t bad at all. I honestly thought it was going to be really hard for me but I actually enjoyed everything of the six week challenge. The coaches are excellent teachers and are always there to support you. Thank you Elite edge transformation for transforming my life and making a big change on it. I will from now on make healthier choices thanks to Elite Edge Transformation. Thanks for helping me and guiding me trough this stage of my life.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

I've completed the 6 week 20lbs challenge. I lost a total of 22lbs. And most of the time it was fun and challenging. 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.

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

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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!
