Eddie Mack

Manager/Head Coach

I began personal / group training about 6 years ago when I wanted to help people and make a difference in the world by helping people. When I was able to make the connection between fitness and nutrition and the ability to bring that lifestyle information and passion to people, I put my head down and haven’t stopped changing lives since. My primary focus is weight loss , behavior change when it comes to nutrition.

“Helping people one step, one rep, one spoonful at a time.” I love to coach small groups and give people a 1:1 feel to training while having the group for motivation and environment. In my free time you can catch me on the baseball diamond, or relaxing with my fiancée on a beach somewhere. “Discipline is the driver to daily execution. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that hold you back. There are no hacks. There are no shortcuts.”

Lauren Springer

ACE Certified Trainer

Fitness has always played a major role in my life starting at a very young age. I played competitive sports throughout high school and college and also spent 10 years in the military which required an extremely high level of physical readiness. I love to train and be pushed and challenged, both physically and mentally, as well as learn new training methodologies and techniques. All of these things sparked my interest in the human body, training, nutrition and overall wellness and were the foundations for my life’s passion, coaching. I have multiple fitness certifications and coaching experience spanning over 20 years in various facets within the industry.

I became part of the Elite Edge team in June 2019 as a coach. I absolutely love working here and helping our members on their fitness journey and meeting their individual goals. This is my passion and I hope to continue to inspire people to be the best version of themselves through fitness for years to come!

It’s important to acknowledge this.>> My parameter of expectations highly improve when I can observe other people’s forms and make adjustments.- Great environment.

I just successfully completed my 6 week challenge at Elite Edge in Ankeny! I dropped from 206 lbs. to 186 lbs. I couldn’t be happier with the program. The diet is very simple and straightforward with no room for cheating. The workouts are rigorous and challenging but achievable either way hard work. I plan to stay and continue losing weight (at a slower pace), getting stronger and maintaining my results. I strongly recommend Elite Edge to help you meet your fitness goals!

I highly recommend this gym to everyone. My six-week challenge has been success today. I made it again and lost over 20 lbs. First and last week was harder week for me, but however, hold you accountable to stick with your goals. The people in the classes are so supportive, and every workout is always different and keeps you engaged. I absolutely love my experience at Elite Edge! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a motivating atmosphere. The sense of community among members here is truly inspiring. Again, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a challenging yet welcoming fitness environment.

If you live around Ankney and want to do kickboxing or BJJ you got to come here. The class times accommodate any schedule. The instructors are awesome and the people who train are too. I only do the MMA stuff so that’s all I can speak on. HIGHLY recommend.

My husband and I were members of the Cedar Rapids location which closed In June 2024. I really enjoyed the gym and we had pre-paid for the full year. 4 months later and we have yet to receive our refund. We have attempted to contact owner Joe Brammer multiple times since he communicated our refund would be issued in August and he has ignored us. It is unfortunate the location had to close but the customers that invested in their gym and programs should not be disregarded as we have been.

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!!
