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.

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.

14 months ago, I discovered Elite Edge after doing a Google search of “best gyms in Des Moines,” and I have to say, joining this gym is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Prior to this, I had never done group fitness before, but it has motivated me to come to the gym consistently, and I love that each day is different. I’ve even made a couple of friends here (who would’ve thought people could be social at 5:00 in the morning?), which is another highlight.The owner, Eric, does an awesome job motivating you to do your best and to challenge yourself, and he’s always there when you need him to show you (again) how to do an exercise. He’s so knowledgeable about body mechanics, and he explains the “why” behind proper form. He also gets to know you as a person and checks in with you every week. Not to mention, Eric starts his day with a 4AM class and puts in so many hours teaching additional classes in the evening and at the Grimes location. It’s obvious how much he cares about the culture of this gym and helping people with their fitness journey.At this gym, you’re surrounded by people of varying ages and abilities, and you never feel intimidated to try things you would’ve thought were impossible. It feels like an individual workout but in a group setting. I’m certainly not an athlete, and I never saw myself engaging with strength training, but I’ve never looked back. Also, the other trainers: Zayren, Jordan, David, Ashley, and Ginger are awesome support too. I highly recommend Elite Edge because I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.

I did the 6 week challenge & lost 17lb!! This was incredible to do in such a short timeframe. I ended up signing up for a membership because I loved the classes so much!! If you are like me and think “I hate group classes or I am not in shape enough to do this” please do not knock it until you try it!! Even though it is in a group setting it’s very much your individual workouts and how hard you want to push yourself. The coaches are so awesome and push you to do your best. I would recommend anyone to at least give it a chance!!

I have done anything and everything to try to lose weight. I was recommended Elite Edge by a coworker. I’m glad I decided to try it out because it is one of the best things I’ve done in a while. I was part of the 6 week challenge to lose 20 pounds. I succeeded in doing that because the program offers you everything you need. I got the do’s and don’ts on what to eat. I followed those rules along with their workouts and the weight fell right off! One of the best parts about Elite Edge is their strength coaches. I had my fair share of days where motivation was low and they picked me right up! If there was workout I didn’t understand, Justin and Eric were right there to show me proper form and technique. I won’t lie, the workouts are tough, but each day you leave you feel stronger! I have noticed a great difference in my ability to perform the simplest workouts like push ups and sit ups. Elite Edge also offers supplements they custom make, so I was very excited to use those as well. The supplements came at a great price and have helped me make gains immensely! I recommend Elite Edge to anybody and EVERYBODY who wants to turn their health around (: !!!! 💪🏽
