Meet Our Transformation Team

Joe Ellis

General Manager

Hi, I am the General Manager at our Elite Edge Ankeny Gym. My passion for fitness was born when I was a guitar tech for bands. We would do workouts in the parking lot every day and I fell in love with it.

I have been working at Elite Edge for 8 years and been in the fitness industry for 12. My passion is helping people better themselves and achieve their goals. I couldn’t be happier to be working at Elite Edge Ankeny Gym as general manager.

Scott Stephenson

Head Coach

My journey started with Elite Edge as a challenger. I successfully completed the 6 Week Challenge by losing 26 pounds. I knew from day one that I wanted to be a part of this family. I’m blessed with a passion for helping others reach their goals, as well as my own. Since being hired I’ve spent my free time trying to become a better coach, working my way up to head trainer at Ankeny.

Brady Wheelock

Coach

Hi, my name is Brady! I obtained my degree in Kinesiology & Health, B.X. Exercise Science. I am an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor. Following graduation, I started working at Elite Edge Gym in January of 2017 as a Group Fitness Instructor. I enjoy being a part of Elite Edge because I love being able to help others become healthier and happier through fitness.

Shayne Allan

Coach

My name is Shayne Allan. I am originally from South Africa where I lived for 19 years until I was offered a scholarship to play college golf for Wichita State University. Shortly after being at WSU for 2 years, I transferred to the University of Central Missouri where I continued to my college golf career. Whilst at UCM I completed my undergraduate degree in exercise science & kinesiology. I decided to further my knowledge and completed my master’s degree in the exercise science, kinesiology, and nutrition program.

My goal was to have an in-depth knowledge in human physiology that would allow me to be a step above many personal trainers, nutritionists and sport performance coaches. I proceeded to undertake the challenge of participating in a natural amateur bodybuilding competition, I was fortunate enough to have the knowledge to manipulate my body in such a way that I ended up winning and received my international pro elite status. My life long dream has always been to become a professional golfer. I focused my training towards golf specifics. After completing grad school, I turned pro and will be competing around the world periodically throughout the year.

I decided to join Elite Edge Transformation because I thoroughly enjoy helping all populations reach their desired goal by providing superior exercise prescriptions and nutritional coaching. I hope to meet and help everyone that is part of the Elite Edge community.

Below is some experience I have accumulated over the last 7 years:

Graduate assistant in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, and Nutrition
Assistant men’s golf coach at UCM
Strength & Conditioning for college athletes
Personal Training / Group fitness / Special Populations
Cardiac and Pulmonary rehabilitation
IPE Pro Card
Professional golfer

I have done this challenge a few times now and I love the workouts. If you are someone who struggles to get to workouts in and gets bored with repetitive workouts, this is a great program. The training varies and provides full body workouts that improve strength in every area.The food program is simple and easy to follow. And it gets results. I would like to see it vary somewhat the way it used to be setup. I like the macro approach better that allows for greater flexibility and a broader menu. However, there are many people who do the program and cannot handle the extra time and effort it takes to follow a macro system, and end up eating outside of the menu. I would like to see it teach more long-term eating habits instead of growing to hate the limited items that are on the menu now.Overall it creates results and if you are looking for a jump start this is it. However, I would recommend having a plan of action for after the challenge that builds on the results.

I just successfully completed the 6week challenge at the Ankeny location and lost 23.6 pounds. The whole staff there is awesome and totally engaged with ALL challengers, I had the pleasure of working with two terrific coaches, Scott and Mallory, they gave individual advice based on what was needed and really made it easy. I'm not saying the challenge was easy, but their advice and guidance made it so enjoyable that I looked forward to going everyday. I believe that the experience has kick started a whole new life style that is full of energy. I highly recommend Elite Edge to anyone that is looking for an all inclusive great experience that will leave you greatly more than satisfied. Thanks again for everything Scott , Mallory, and the whole staff. See ya soon💪!Paul

I just completed the 6 week 7% body fat loss challenge from June 1-July 11. I started in the boot camp and then moved to the elite performance gym. All I can say is that the crew at Elite Edge knows what they are doing. Truly enjoyed working out with the Elite Performance Training group. Not only do the coaches care and have the knowledge, but the people you work out with know how to encourage and push each other!I followed the instructions, worked out hard, ate the right foods—meal planning was guided and my questions were answered. I was able to beat the challenge goal and I plan to keep going.My challenge was delayed from earlier this year due to Covid. I had a vacation planned during the challenge and I was able complete workouts from my vacation spot—my coaches checked in with me frequently and encouraged me to stay in the meal plan. I actually had some of my biggest improvements during that time, but it was because I was being followed up with and encouraged.Can’t wait to see what comes next!

I recently completed the 6 week challenge. The trainers (Josh and Morgan) are over the top and very knowledgeable on training techniques. The nutrition plan was very easy to follow and the trainers provided excellent advice on balancing food and water intake. If you FTDI, you will get the results you desire. I can attest, as I lost over 20 lbs. during the 6 week challenge. The fitness program was a great fit for my lifestyle and look forward to continuing this program.

I completed the 6 week challenge at Elite Edge in Ankeny. This program is called a 6 week challenge for a reason, it is definitely a challenge! I am very thankful for all of the coaches I worked with, as they are very dedicated and helpful and push you further than you can push yourself! The instructors hold you accountable to staying on their diet, and keep you on track. Weekly weigh-ins make it easy to measure your success! I loved the atmosphere of the gym, and I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for true results!

I started the 6 week challenge because I needed a change and wow did I get that change. Elite Edge provided me with not only challenging workouts and a diet plan but much needed accountability. From day one everyone knew my name, checked in with me, and pushed me to keep going. There were days that I didn't want to go but I knew that it would be noticed so I showed up and never once regretted that decision. These past 6 weeks have been a turning point in my fitness journey and I can't wait to continue it with the great coaches and staff at Elite Edge Ankeny where it is more than just the workout.

Elite Edge has changed my lifestyle in the past 6 weeks! Looking for a challenge or just change your lifestyle? I would highly recommend joining Elite Edge! The coaches at Ankeny are just simply amazing & they are always willing to assist with any problem you encounter throughout your journey. They always know how to push you to do your best and always have the best workout also! Best decision I have ever made was to join and complete the 6 week challenge and looking forward to continue working with them!

I came into this gym with absolutely no idea what journey I was ready to be on. At first it was very intimidating. All the meal planning, the every day commitment of working out and the constant reminder to eat. I would have to say the first week was brutal after not working out in so many years. But even after the first week, seeing the results week after week was so very rewarding. And the workouts - I felt so good about myself after every session. Not just physically but also mentally. And most of all the people. The amazing coaches that not only keep you on task but also provide you the encouragement and tools and knowledge to keep you engaged. The staff is so pleasant when you walk on the door it's like walking into your friends house. Even the people that were trying to achieve their goals. Everyone is so encouraging. I would recommend this experience for everyone. It is a complete life style changer!
