Meet Our Transformation Team

Eric Howser

Owner

I have been a member of the Waukee Elite Edge team since 2014. I graduated from Grand View University with a B.A. in Psychology as well as a B.A. in Human Services. I am a former professional fighter, who competed in Mixed Martial Arts and Muay Thai Kickboxing, competing for companies such as Bellator and gaining wins over a UFC veteran. I enjoy helping clients reach their goals, both in and out of the gym. I believe that people are capable of anything they set their mind to, and I strive to inspire others to believe in themselves in the same way.

Brandi Buskohl

Chief Energy Officer

My journey at Elite Edge began with a 6 Week Challenge in 2016, so I can relate and provide personal experience to our challengers. I handle things behind the scenes, so our trainers can help our members and challengers get the most out of their Elite Edge Transformation Center experience. From answering questions and putting out fires to paperwork and overall office administration, I help keep things running smoothly so members can get the most of their time with us! Next time you stop in, be sure to say hi!

Zayren Terukina

Coach

I have always been involved with exercise and fitness, whether it was playing sports or outside. What intrigued me to get more into fitness was through training in wrestling, finding the best ways to keep my body in optimal shape at my best for competition. As a result of this, I became a 2x Hawaii State Wrestling Champion and 2x All American on 15x National Champion team at Wartburg College. I graduated from Wartburg with a degree in Sports Management and a minor in Coaching and Leadership. I am most excited to help clients achieve their fitness goals and live healthier, happier lives.

I returned to EE after a 6 year hiatus. I'm certain it's the wisest decision of the year! To kickstart my goals I opted to take on the 6 week Challenge. I was on that borderline of weight to take or not to take the challenge due to the difficulty to drop 20 in that time frame. I dedicated myself to 6 workouts a week and maintained nutrition. Just shy of 24 lbs down with a drop of just over 6% body fat. I'm extremely excited about those stats as I approach 50. The coaches have always been and are still so knowledgeable. They all have great ideas with modifications for my multiple issues from injuries... Torn shoulder, mutilated meniscus, spinal injuries and more. Not only will they help modify or adjust form but they are always willing to spot on a heavier lift. Members are fun to meet and interact with. Single folk, married couples, families, young adults to even 70 plus year olds. The music is always appropriate for the type of workout for the day which is always different and challenging.I feel healthier, stronger, and very blessed to be back with Elite Edge.

Elite Edge is a great place to obtain your fitness goals!I just completed my 6-week challenge. I am very pleased with my results and lost a little more than 20 pounds. Working out 5 or 6 times a week early in the morning and following the strict diet was an adjustment, but the staff and other members made the process of reaching my goals attainable. The trainers are extremely helpful and provide many tips and tricks to make the process easier. The gym has a great atmosphere and I always felt pumped up before, during, and after a workout.If I had to give an example of a setback, the only obstacle I experienced were just MINIMAL – technical difficulties getting added to the Facebook group page and receiving the initial email that contained the challenge ‘bible’. These were handled and taken care of within a few days. Other than that, it was a great experience!In the end, I had a fitness goal to reach and was able to obtain that from Elite Edge with the help of the awesome trainers and other members. If I can do it, you can too!

Lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks! Coaches were great and workouts/nutrition plan were simple to follow. They were all super friendly and even allowed me to have a "plus one" at weekend workouts when my boyfriend was in town. Others bring their kids as well. Would definitely recommend!

Saturday morning I had my final weigh in for Elite Edge’s 6 week 20 lbs challenge. I’m so happy to say that I completed the challenge and lost 20.5 lbs! This was the push I needed to change my trajectory. Showing up to Elite Edge 5 days a week for 6 weeks has transformed me physically and mentally. The trainers at this gym are so knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. I always left feeling so much better than when I walked in, even on insane cardio days. The members are helpful and welcoming. This is such a beautiful community that I’m so glad I got to be apart of. It truly was a challenge. I had to completely alter my routine to fit in my workouts and meal prepping. I had to say no to a lot of things. Go to bed early and wake up earlier. I would’ve never done such things prior but this experience has changed me so much that I can’t see life without such routine. My physical health (diet and exercise) is now a baseline hygiene like brushing my teeth and showering. I don’t always want to do it, but it needs to be done and no one else going to do it for me! The only thing getting in my way was me. Thank you Elite Edge for the tools to build a new me.

The Elite Edge Transformation Center has officially transformed my life. I have just completed their 6 week 20 lbs challenge and let me tell you it was well worth it. The challenging workouts, helpful staff, and strict diet has helped me lose just over 30 lbs! I feel so much better than I did six weeks ago, I can see the difference in my body and I can feel the difference in my health! I owe it all to the fine people at the Waukee Elite Edge gym! I would highly highly highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for that little push to get you over the hump of starting their journey. It is not an easy challenge and I would strongly recommend having an accountability partner to do it with, but either way, in the end it is all worth it to see and feel the results! Thanks so much again to everyone who helped me reach my goals!

I just completed my six week challenge and I am so happy with the results. I completed challenges in 2018 and have been wanting to come back since. Well I finally made it and I am so glad I did. The coaches were great and other members were amazing too! The weight loss combined with the strength and confidence you gain is so gratifying. This time around was a little different for me because it was after having kids. I had a completely different mindset and even when it got hard I just reminded myself that I have two young kids and I can do anything I put my mind to. For that reason it seemed easier but I think I am more impressed with my results this time around. Everything felt more natural than the first time around and I was able to get into a routine pretty easily too. I am excited to roll into a membership and continue my health journey. If you are thinking about signing up for a challenge do it!

Elite Edge is the best. I totally recommend there 20# 6 week challenge. I’ve done it 4 times now this being my first time at the Waukee location. Every time the challenges have been very similar. Eating healthy and working out hard isn’t easy but it gets results plain and simple. Stick to the plan and you will achieve results.

This gym has truly been the first place to help me get a great cardio and weightlifting routine that i like and am able to stick to. Left to my own devices i loose focus and don't know how to keep the consistency going and make new exercises for new muscles. I just completed the six week challenge and I loved it. I lost 25 pounds and gained a lot of muscle. I liked it so much i signed up for a membership before i even finished the program. I couldn't recommend this more. This program truly helped me when nothing else did.
