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!

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! 🙂

Head Coach 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!

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 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've completed the 6 week 20lbschallenge. 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.

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 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 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.

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 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.
