I look forward to the daily group classes at Success Studio, not only for the challenging and varied exercises (a well-planned mix of strength, core, and cardio), but also for the community and camaraderie. There’s a friendly vibe among a group that varies in age and ability. Everyone encourages each other, and you’re only competing against yourself. The trainers are helpful and knowledgeable, keeping an eye on your form, and willing to adapt and adjust to suit individual needs. It’s by no means the biggest gym in town but I think it has the biggest heart.

I’ve been training here for almost a year now and it’s been amazing. I do Semi-Private Personal Training with Julie, and she’s absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, supportive, and great at helping you build strength with proper form. The gym is clean, welcoming, and has a great community of kind, encouraging people. I’ve gotten much stronger, built a solid routine, and actually enjoy showing up consistently. If you’re looking for expert guidance in a positive environment, this is the place.

My experience at Bill Burnett’s Success Studio has been all positive. From the schedule and variety of classes to the Four Miler training group, the studio sets me up for challenge and consistency. The well-trained staff of trainers provides workouts that build strength by tailoring exercises to individual needs and goals. Thank you, Success Studio, for helping me meet my fitness goals surrounded by a terrific group of people.

Such an Unique gym experience - personal training in a calm, supportive and focused setting. I'm learning the "Why" of what I'm doing in addition to the "What." I began to see results (Strength and Muscles) almost immediately. This is a Winner! Highly recommend!

I love coming to the Success Studio. The people and instructors are friendly and helpful. I have much more energy and strength than I had when I first started a month ago. I highly recommend trying the Success Studio! So much fun.

Absolutely love this gym. Have tried several gyms in the area and Julie is amazing and her classes are perfect for me. Have never looked forward to going to work out as much as I do since I started here 6 weeks ago. Already seeing results, feeling healthier, stronger and mentally clearer.

After a training session with Bridget I feel strong, sore, accomplished, and like Gumby all at once! I’m so glad I found this place, and these small training groups! This is exactly what I’ve needed to stay accountable and consistent!

What new members ask us.
Am I too old to start strength training?
No. You’re never too old to start a strength training program. Your ability to maintain an independent lifestyle has a lot to do with how strong you are.
I’ve never lifted weights. Will you teach me?
Yes. Our signature full-body strength sessions teach you how to lift safely, confidently, and with great form - so you not only look stronger, but feel stronger in everything you do each day.
Will you check how I move before I lift?
Yes. Problematic movement patterns and postural issues detected in your initial assessment must be addressed before you begin doing more difficult exercises.
Can I build strength in a small group?
Yes. Semi-private training sessions include up to four members and are appropriate for those who would benefit from a general strength and conditioning program & enjoy the camaraderie of a small group.
