Success Fitness and Training

Positive experience: Just adequate. I went there for about 4 or five years at my wife's urging and she was there for about 8 years. It took that long to realize they were more interested in our $ than our wellbeing. That is OK as long as you are upfront about it. My wife and I like friendly places and I just watched the promo video. Travis smiling should go in a historical archive somewhere. The friendliness comes from the other clients and not really from the training staff that I dealt with. I do not want to go into detail about our negative experiences there. In all fairness they are adequate but so are a lot of other gyms. If you live more than 3 or 4 miles from the place you can probably save gas money and travel time by finding a place closer for you. We are committed to our fitness and will probably join a YMCA 2 miles from our house instead of driving the one way to this gym. I would probably rate this place 2 1/2 stars if possible. Adequate.

Positive experience: A lot of the classes are not ideal for a standard 9-5 work schedule. However, the ones that are are fantastic. I highly recommend the Kettlebell classes with Mike and Dave. I am stronger than I could ever imagine. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Been working with Hunter for a while now and its been great. He knows exactly how to push you to get the most out of your workout.

Fantastic experience: Hunter rocks!

Fantastic experience: My trainer Nick is amazing! He’s personable, knowledgeable and hella funny to lift with

Fantastic experience: Best place to train! I've been working with John for over 5 years. It's a smaller gym, very clean, everyone is friendly. Whether you're just starting to work out, or just need a great trainer, this is an awesome place!

Fantastic experience: Alex is AWESOME! He is super chill and yet he gets results. I am down almost 50 lbs since starting to work with him and I feel great!

Fantastic experience: I joined Success Fitness in mid-April and this place has exceeded my expectations. I was looking to join a small gym for several reasons – safety/health, wanted a more personalized experience as I knew I needed some accountability, and a place that didn’t judge me. I am a mother of two young kiddos and my body just isn’t the same and therefore, I wanted a place that I could feel physically and mentally comfortable while working out and I also wanted a workout routine that was customized to me (with a way to also track my progress). I train with my super knowledgeable and great supportive trainer, Hunter, twice a week for 45 minutes (and he has also been super flexible whenever I needed to move my dates/times which is incredibly helpful with my busy schedule). The space itself is clean, organized, and welcoming. If you’re looking for a personalized (never boring!), welcoming, non-judgmental, and flexible space to strengthen your body, feel healthy, and lose inches, this will be a great place to start! I have already felt stronger, lost about 10 pounds, and a few inches off my waist. Check it out if you’re curious and are looking for a stronger you!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Hunter here for over six months now, and have made a lot of progress in terms of body composition, dietary knowledge, and lifting technique. Hunter's knowledge and attitude are both phenomenal, and he's given me a ton of advice and encouragement that's helped me get to where I am today. I would highly recommend Success to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Success really has their ducks in a row! The trainers are so driven and coming from a place of thriving, filled up mindsets that pours out onto their clients and everyone they meet. They are fun, energetic, super personable, friendly and professional. You can tell each of them absolutely love what they do. The gym is really clean and they keep it really organized. Hunter is an incredible coach! He is so filled with knowledge and I love that he tells you the WHY behind everything he instructs you to do. He not only provides you great custom workouts but customizes each person's nutrition based off of their weight goals whether gaining or losing, their hormones, dietary restrictions and actually looks at your plan on a micro level. He really cares about peoples well-being and their success! Not many do that. You see results everytime you follow through with his plan. These trainers are amazing people, they not only help you reach your goals, but also are there to encourage and teach you through the tough seasons. They really care and have such a heart for everyone who comes in. Love this gym, but more so, love the people. Couldn't recommend them more - they'll take care of you!!!

Fantastic experience: I have had one of the BEST experiences at Success Fitness! I have been training there for 7 years, the trainer is very knowledgeable and is very committed to her clients. I used to have a back issue every year with my work, after 1 year with Succes/Fitness, I have not had 1 issue. I want to THANK this gym and my trainer for everything they have done for me. And I don't want to leave out the friendly atmosphere and the quality equipment they have there. PLEASE if your looking for a place to go work out and take that first step, give them a try!! Big LOVE for them!!

Fantastic experience: Still working with Hunter. Still seeing results and learning all of the time. I consider myself very blessed to be able to work with him. He is so smart, so caring, and really does want me to meet my goals. He really knows how to keep me motivated . I couldn’t have asked for a better better coach. If you follow his plans, you WILL see results! Let’s GO!!!!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing and professional group of trainers! Grace has been giving me workouts on the convenient Success Fitness app that I can do on my own time at the gym! The app is super helpful as it shows you how to perform the exercise, and allows you to record your weight/reps/time/distance and save it to look at later! I am very happy with the results I have been getting, highly recommend Grace and her group of knowledgeable trainers. :)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Grace is absolutely amazing! I love her group training sessions. They are very tough and challenge all muscles in my body and I feel like I get so much out of a 45 minute session. I would highly recommend Success Fitness Training as an amazing locally owned business. Best choice and best value!

Fantastic experience: Grace is all-knowing when it comes to the body. She takes every detail into account when formulating a plan for you and utilizes top notch facilities and trainers to get you to your goals. As a chiropractor, I know I can trust they will treat my patients with care during their rehab and not push things too far too soon like most trainers do. Whether you are rehabbing an injury or just looking to improve your health, Success Fitness can help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: This is the best small gym in the twin cities! You are not a number here. From trainers to patrons everyone is ready to welcome new people. And everyone cares about your success. Each trainer is dedicated, caring and invested in your success. Grace is so fun to work out with! Her workouts are challenging yet fun. This is a great gym if you've experienced personal injury or surgeries. They are very attuned to physical therapy type needs. I recommend Grace and the rest of the trainers at this gym to basically everyone I know!!!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of doing virtual workouts with both Grace and Michelle. Grace's ability to tailor a group workout and give options based on unique health needs is amazing. Everyone got challenged and got to choose your own adventure. I've never had someone who I could just mention my hang-ups and they immediately knew how to adjust the workout not to aggravate it without me providing the step by step. It was amazing! Michelle does an excellent barre and pilates class. The fine muscle movements had me sore for days (in the best possible way). Both workouts were fantastic, just the right level of challenging (without being too hard) had options included, and they were great at answering questions. Thanks Michelle and Grace!

Fantastic experience: Well, my experience has been so wonderful with Grace that I don’t even know how to start. I’ve been depressed for a long time, hard pregnancy, had put on a lot of weight, my toddler is taking a lot from me, etc. I felt totally worthless, had absolutely no faith on me and no self esteem. My sister in law told me about her, and as we are in lockdown, I couldn’t go to the gym, plus I’m in the UK. So I started my online sessions with her. At first my interest was to move, recover, as I’ve had too much pain, basically take care of my body. But man, this woman has such a positive vibe, she gave me lots of support, she believe me when I couldn’t myself. I felt that she really cared, that she loves what she’s doing. She not your average personal trainer, forget that. Grace is something else! Every small step, week after week she helped me find my way back, and what was supposed to be only some workouts, turned out to be a way out my depression. The help she gave me was of course, body related, however, the love, friendship, honesty and good energy is something priceless. I’m grateful to the universe for putting Grace Melek in my life, thank you my Dear! The good energy that come from this woman just crossed the barriers of distance! You’ve helped me change my life! THANK YOU! ❤️ When I have the chance to go to Minessota to visit my sis in law, meet her is totally in the schedule! See you Grace! xx

Fantastic experience: I have been incredibly impressed with Success Fitness and training with a variety of experience! Grace created several mini-workout videos for Living Spirit Therapy Services' Empowering Wellness Initiative to help people find ways to fit workouts into demanding work and family schedules. She had great ideas for 5 minute desk workouts and ways to exercise WITH your children as well as regular upper and lower body workouts. She makes fitness incredibly accessible to all, providing different options and adaptations to meet diverse levels and needs. She provided amazing reference materials with photos and easy to follow descriptions and even offers a free consultation! I have had the pleasure of doing live virtual group training with her as well. I find some trainers to be highly annoying with their "encouragement". This was not at all the case with Grace! Grace made sure everyone understood options and ways to adapt things to unique needs; knows exactly how to provide solid, motivating, and respectful encouragement; and makes fitness incredibly fun. I had a blast in the session and definitely got a solid workout. My husband and I also had the opportunity to work with Hunter for biomechanics and fascia release work. He is incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and truly wants to help educate people on how to prevent problems. Some people try to string people on for ongoing long term sessions. His model is to teach people how to do things on their own for cost-effective, long term, lifestyle changes and solutions. He too put together great descriptions of exercises so that we could do the daily work without him. Everyone I have interacted with at Success Fitness has gone the extra mile to make our experience a positive one. I would highly recommend Success Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Success is so fun! I have been working with Grace and she does a wonderful job! She has been my trainer for 3+ years, her knowledge and understanding of the human body is outstanding! I recommend Grace or any of the trainers to everyone, she has helped me with my past injuries, strengthening and pushing myself!

Fantastic experience: I love working out with Grace, she is amazing and helps me with total body care and not just fitness. The gym is clean and I love that its limited on who can be there especially during these Covid times. They work so hard to make sure that they have a safe Gym and you can tell. I highly recommend Grace and Success Fitness for your wellness needs!

Fantastic experience: Hidden gem with amazing trainer. Thank you Grace for your heart and passion for clients health!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Grace is an amazing small business owner and talented physical trainer. She works with people at all levels of fitness and really cares about helping them achieve their personal goals. She is also very energetic and fun to know!

Fantastic experience: Grace is exactly what you want in a trainer. A balance of a ray of sunshine to encourage, inspire, and believe in yourself AND like a sidekick to a concrete wall -- telling you like it is and it's not always going to be what you want to hear. Her knowledge of workout moves to best help you in your goals is that of a top-notch, world class trainer. Knowing who she is, I'm confident her team of trainers are all above the bar.

Fantastic experience: I started participating in Grace's online classes after Covid shut down the club I belonged to. Her workouts are fantastic. I love that she changes it up and keeps things new and challenging. I enjoy her classes so much that I cancelled my club membership and focus on her online classes. Grace is fun to work with, very encouraging, and always full of energy! She also offers options for exercises to make them more challenging or ways to adjust for any injuries or limitations. She's absolutely a professional. I'm so glad I met Grace, she's the perfect trainer for me! If you haven't tried one of her classes, you should!!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. The trainers are awesome and friendly. Workouts are great.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I couldn't recommend Grace and team more if you're looking for fun, motivational and effective training! Grace give just the right amount of energy and encouragement without banging you over the head with it!!

Fantastic experience: Grace is amazing! She's more than a personal trainer. She's done more for me in one week than six months of physical therapy did! Her knowledge is incredibly impressive, but her instincts are also spot on; and she understands how to move you through the obstacles from previous injuries to regaining strength and fitness. That's talent!

Fantastic experience: When Covid hit and all of the gyms had to close down, I waited like everyone else and my workouts stopped. I started to notice my stress level going up and I knew I needed to work out. After a few virtual work outs with Grace I started feeling like me again! She's so motivating and she kicked my butt, which is what I needed!

Fantastic experience: As a newer trainer 5 years ago, unsure of where I fit in this highly competitive and saturated industry, I was thrilled to find my home at Success Fitness! Trainers... if you are looking for a welcoming, personal, and comfortable place to train your clients... this is it!!

Fantastic experience: I have not been to Success for training yet. I can say that I have trained with Grace for 6 years and she brings a level of professionalism, motivation, encouragement, and success to EVERY training session. With Grace as the new owner of this business, I believe there will be new improvements and creative energy not only to the space but also to the training sessions. I have trained with Grace in various locations and I will definitely check out this business and spread the word!

Fantastic experience: I love working out with Grace because she is fun, non-judgmental and very supportive. Her workouts are dynamic and challenging, and she will help you achieve your fitness goals in anyway she can. I appreciate how she listens and answers all my questions, always educating and motivating me, especially with some of my conditions, like tendinitis and a history of injuries. Recently, because I suffered from sciatica pain while pregnant, she was of the most important support, providing me with carefully planned workouts, at-home stretches and exercises, along with additional nutrition information. I remained fit and full of energy throughout the pregnancy, and went on to have an easy delivery and quick postpartum recovery. She is also full of resources and doesn’t mind doing the research needed to make sure you receive the right care and support needed. I don’t think there’s a better trainer out there - she’s 5 stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: This gym is full of dedicated professionals focused on health and wellness. My trainer, Grace, has in my opinion changed my life in a significant way. My cardio fitness has dramatically improved. I not only look better, I truly feel better. I have energy and endurance I did not have before. I could not have done this without Grace!

Fantastic experience: Best training experience I've ever had!!!!!!
