Hannah Brammer

Manager

After college I joined the rat race of corporate America and worked my way up to a management position in a large, national insurance and retirement provider, but had stopped taking care of my health. Realizing the stressful job was part of the problem, I took a step back and started at the new South Des Moines location as a 6 Week Challenger. I was determined to start getting healthy again! I came on board as the office admin around the same time and have been taking back my health day-by-day. I love working at Elite Edge and using my own personal story to help motivate others to meet their own personal health goals!

Hi Elite Edge family! My name is Lucas Johnson. I am a lover of all things fitness. I have been coaching for almost a year, starting with personal training and then moving into group training here at Elite in December of 2021, and now I’m addicted. I love coaching the SSS (South Side Savages) and helping them reach their goals.

Chief Energy Officer

Hello Everyone! Fitness has always been an important part of my life, and working in the medical field as a CNA during high school introduced me to how a lot of problems individuals have stem from lack of fitness. I graduated in the spring of 2022 from Iowa State University with a degree in Kinesiology & Health Pre-PT and Psychology, where I participated in research studying physical activity, physical fitness, and mental health. Even though physical therapy is the end goal, I am taking a break from schooling to gain more experience in the fitness world before moving onto graduate school. While I complete this gap-year, I want to explore the other realms of Kinesiology, while also helping others better themselves and reach their goals. I look forward to meeting you and helping you fall in love with yourself, both mentally and physically! 🙂

I just completed the 6-week, 20-pound challenge with Elite Edge Transformation, and the experience was absolutely worth it! The program pushed me in all the right ways—physically, mentally, and even in terms of time management. There were definitely days when I had to dig deep, power through fatigue, or squeeze a workout into an already packed schedule, but every single effort added up.The structure of the workouts and the support from RJ & Hannah kept me accountable, and the strict diet—while tough at times—was a huge part of the results. Sticking to it wasn’t always easy, but seeing the scale move and feeling my energy improve made it rewarding. By the end of the challenge, the progress felt real, earned, and genuinely life-changing.If you’re looking for something that will challenge you, push you, and ultimately leave you feeling stronger and proud of yourself, I highly recommend Elite Edge’s 20-pound challenge. It wasn’t just a fitness program—it was a reminder of what consistency and determination can really do.

I had an absolutely awesome experience at Elite Edge! From the moment I walked in, the energy was incredible. The trainers are truly next-level—knowledgeable, motivating, and always focused on helping you reach your goals. RJ and Hannah, in particular, are the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. They push you in all the right ways while still making every workout fun. The environment is positive, welcoming, and full of members who support and uplift each other. The music is always on point, keeping the workouts exciting and high-energy. Elite Edge is hands down one of the best fitness communities out there! I took the 6 week 20 pound body transformation class and lost 21.5 lbs!

I took on the Elite Edge Six week challenge. I learned that with consistency of training and with the proper diet you will see the results you want. You have to stay honest with yourself and stay strong not to eat something that’s not on your diet. There were days I didn’t want to go but after going it felt so rewarding. I lost almost 21 pounds by the end. I loved this challenge. It’s great. You learn to push yourself to see what you can do. There were difficult days especially after some weigh ins and you don’t see the results you wanted. You’re provided everything you need to know to be successful and they’re there to answer any questions you may have. Hannah and RJ are fantastic coaches there to help you on your journey. The workouts are a combination of strength training and cardio which I thought was the perfect mix up. The gym has a great environment with everyone there to help one another and make sure you have the proper form so you don’t get hurt. The music playing always got my blood pumping and ready to workout. This is a great gym and I’m glad I got to take on this challenge and work hard with everyone there. I highly recommend taking this challenge if you have 20 pounds to lose and you’ve been thinking about it.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!!
