    Why do so many clients of BBSS North give it a 5 star review? Because the staff are highly skilled and friendly, caring people; the equipment is terrific (they just got in new machines too!); the semi-private trainings are well-thought out (I have yet to do a large group class but I've heard they're also good); all the trainers are great; the Big Boss (aka BillB) is a lovely, kind human being who really knows his stuff; and they keep coming up with fun challenges -- like FITOPOLY-- ask them about it. BBSS is more than just a gym - its a community. Or not, if you prefer to be more autonomous. That's one of the things I appreciate about BBSS, they meet you where you are, and take you on your journey as you choose.

    "Success Studio" is an accurate name for a place to go to if you're interested in and learning how to physically and in many respects mentally achieve life extending health. A professional staff of trainers guarantee stress free individual and/or small group programs in an environment without pounding blaring techno music that and that does not require the latest "gym garb". Success Studio is the workout I look forward to 5 sometimes 6 days a week. It's not only a healthy worthwhile hour, it's actually fun! Larry Zippin

    Success Studio is small enough to ensure full professional attention every time you’re there, but large enough to offer you all the equipment, variety, and expertise you need from a gym. I’ve belonged to others, and I’ve never been this satisfied and motivated! You won’t find anyplace better in the central Virginia area!
