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!

My wife and I took a No Gi class while we were visiting from out of town. The instructor Levi was very nice and knows his stuff! Joe helped us at the front desk getting all set up and he was very welcoming and kind. It’s a very nice facility and the staff is outstanding! The other students were helpful and kind. We’ll definitely come back whenever we’re in town!

Just finished my 6 week challenge! I lost a total of 28.5lbs within those 6 weeks. It was probably one of the toughest things I've had to deal with. The people I worked with were the best support system next to my family who stood behind me all the way to the end. I had endured loss and sickness through this journey but I pushed through and never gave up even when I wanted to throw in the towel. The trainers are the best folks I've ever met. They encourage you to go harder, to do one more. They help and redirect you when you slip up but always kept it with a positive attitude that made the workout great. Can't beat a place like this.

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.
