Jason, the owner, is passionate about improving others- seems to effortlessly inculcate a sense of motivation in others.
Gym includes plenty of free weights, isolation machines, a sauna, and a row of treadmills and bikes that face out the lake.

Before my knee replacement I decided to start personal training at Cutting Edge. My surgeon said it would help my recovery by strengthening the muscle surrounding my leg and knee. After about three months working with my trainer Bailey, my knee and leg muscles were stronger. After the surgery I did 6 weeks of PT then went back to strength training. By my 6 month follow up my surgeon was amazed at my healing and strength ! I continue to train because I feel stronger, healthier, more energetic and mentally happier than I have in a long time! Thanks to the skills ,support, and knowledge of the trainers at Cutting Edge I am living my best life! A special thanks to my personal trainer Bailey!

Working out with Bailey and Jason has completely changed my life. I came in with a few nagging injuries, and they fixed the issues within a few months. I immediately got faster and felt confident enough to go out for track (which I never would’ve been able to do if I did not work out at Cutting Edge). Bailey and Jason have made me stronger and more confident in everything I do, not just sports. I highly recommend working with Bailey and Jason to better your athletic performance, stay healthy, or just feel better about yourself and through your everyday life.

Being an employee at Cutting Edge has not only helped me become a harder worker, but it has also helped with my journey of fitness and nutrition. Jason and Bailey have both taught me so much. Because of them, my people skills have gotten so much better. They have taught me how to come out of my shell. They have both gotten me into lifting and nutrition. If I have a question about lifting or nutrition, I always go to them. They always have an answer. This is an amazing place to be at if you are looking to better yourself. Not only is the staff amazing but the people who train there are amazing as well. There are so many bonds I have created while being here with the staff and people who are here bettering themselves.

Jason worked with my 7 year old son on speed and agility and the results were great, both mentally and physically! I cannot say enough good things about Jason and CE!

Cutting Edge Fitness in Clear Lake is the BEST. A fully equipped gym that is spotlessly clean, with beautiful views of the lake from anywhere in the gym. Want to work out on your own, at any time of day or night? It's all there waiting for you. Membership will get you a key fob that allows 24/7 entry, and total access to all facilites, including showers and sauna. Want personalized guidance by friendly, fit and extremely knowledgeable trainers? Jason Laube, Owner and Director, and his staff are all dedicated to helping you to meet your conditioning goals, whether you're in your 70s and out of shape (like I was), a housewife with a little time on your hands during the daytime, or a youngster competing for a place on the school team. Personal one-hour training sessions with Jason or one of his team are the best. A personalized program will be drawn up addressing your particular goals. Then, all you need to do is carve out two or three hours a week to work out, listen to the explanations of what you're doing, and why, and let your trainer lead you forward. Close records of your progress are kept, and I, for one, was amazed at the progress I had made after 24 sessions over the course of 3 months. If you're serious about your conditioning goals, Jason and his team are serious about helping you achieve them. Whatever your personal circumstances are, if getting in shape, keeping in shape, or getting ripped is your goal, Cutting Edge Fitness is the place to be.

The best decision I’ve made for my personal health and fitness was start working with professional trainers that actually explain how to use the proper technique, breathing, muscle and form. The training and attention to detail ant CEF are second to none!

If you are looking to take yourself to the next level you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been working with Jason for the past couple months. I feel so confident in my lifts and technique. All around I feel more complete as lifter and athlete. He works very well with you. Pushing you when you need to be pushed but also there guiding you along the way. If you are out there looking for a gym/program this place is the perfect fit! I highly recommend Jason and his facility! He really does build champions!

I'd been lifting/working out for about 4 years before I started Jason's workout plan, and I cannot emphasize enough when I say it changed me for the better. Not only has my strength increased, but also my mobility has gotten better which, in turn, helped my golf swing. It changed the way I view training entirely. Thank You!

I have had the best experience here at Cutting Edge. Jason tailors each workout to your personal goals and needs to get the best results. I’m on month 4 of doing his programs and have never been stronger. 10/10 recommend him as a trainer and this gym!

I began my journey back in 2005, I met Jason Laube and my life forever changed. I was fat and out of shape and struggled to make it up a flight of stairs. Jason offered to help and after some thought I decided that I definitely needed to make a change. Jason quickly worked with me and talked to me about my goals. His knowledge, motivation and is passion of helping others is like no other I’ve seen. After a few weeks I started to notice change in my body, my mind, and my confidence. Knowing that Jason was guiding me through my journey made it easier as I knew I wasn’t going to do it along. I developed a passion for working out and taking care of myself. As it happens, life changes and I took a new job and moved away; however, I was able to continue as Jason passed his knowledge to me so in my new place I was able to continue by myself.
Fast forward to a couple months ago, I found myself in the gym noticing a major plateau in my workouts and changes in my body. The only person I knew I could count on was Jason. I text him, after a good conversation he delivered a specific plan for me even though we live miles away. He did not disappoint. In as little as 2-3 weeks I noticed a huge difference in my workouts and major changes to my body. I am forever grateful to Jason and he is truly brilliant at what he does.
Thanks Jason

I strongly recommend training with Jason at CEF! Whatever your fitness goal may be, he will help you achieve it…plus so much more! Jason helped my daughter improve her speed, agility, and strength before starting her collegiate basketball career. She made big gains and had a fantastic season. She is also looking forward to getting back this summer to continue her training at CEF and learning from the very best!

I had a great experience with coach Jason! I definitely recommend cutting edge fitness if your looking to get stronger, faster, and even just learn and lifting and what it’s doing for you. My numbers went up drastically when working out there, lifting and speed. I’m a college athlete and I know I can take my game to the next level after working out with coach Jason!

I’ve done the stereotypical gym jumping and have finally found a place that will tailor a workout to your exact needs and abilities. Jason is absolutely amazing to work with, he’ll find what works for you and guide you along the way. He is vested in every single one of his members. He truly cares about what he does and each and every individual that goes there.

My son began working with Jason 3 weeks ago to improve his strength and mobilty for his golf swing. The progress is amazing. He was hitting balls this week and said his "Hips and back feel so loose. Never felt like this before, there is no more tension in my lower back". Super excited for more progess. Thanks Jason!

I came to Jason at CEF when I was a high schooler from 2011-2013. I had a dream to play college football at the highest level possible for me. Unfortunately for me, my athleticism didn’t exactly match up with my dreams. I would consider myself at that time to be a very average athlete, at a small school (Newman). Jason really gave me the tools to maximize my abilities. He knows his stuff. We did a combination of strength training, speed and agility training, as well as constant emphasis on range of motion and mobility. He always mixed things up and always pushed me. I was also a multi sport athlete and he always helped work around my constantly fluctuating schedule.

I ended up going on to play football at South Dakota State. It was a perfect fit for me, and even though it wasn’t the University of Iowa - it was high level football and we were national contenders at the D1 FCS level. I had countless incredible experiences, and I know for a fact that none of it would have been possible with Jason’s help. I really feel like the training I got at CEF was superior to the training I received from the strength staff I had in college (and I don’t say that as a shot against my college coaches).

I still workout in the manner that Jason taught me. It will have an impact on my health my whole life. If you are an athlete in the North Iowa area that is serious about trying to put the work in and maximize your potential, then look no further. This is the best investment you can make

I love this gym! Plenty of room and the memebers & staff are all friendly! The gym is always clean and the equipment is well maintained. Jason’s training is awesome! He truly loves what he does and is incredibly skilled! I would recommend Thai gym for all ages.

I would recommend Jason Laube and Cutting Edge Fitness to anyone in Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. I did private training as a runner in high school - he helped me acquire D2 and D3 offers for running, took minutes off my time and shaped me into a strong, healthy individual. His knowledge and expertise is unmatched, and he truly cares about his clients.

I live in Chicago, but visit my boyfriend frequently so I’m here quite often. By far this is my favorite gym, including all of the ones I’ve tried in Chicago. The gym has basically anything you can want in terms of workout equipment. There’s also an entire turf room, (I’m used to only turf runs), which basically is an entire playground with boxing equipment, a sled, ab equipment, sledgehammers, and more. There’s also a Peloton which I’ve never seen in any other gym...And i never have to wait to use equipment which is an underrated amenity. When I’m not in Clear Lake I thoroughly miss this gym!!!

Jason has been working with our 12 year old son for a year. He’s getting stronger every week! Highly recommend.
