Our Story…
Welcome to Success Fitness & Training, where we’ve been keeping fitness real and simple since 2001. While the big-box gyms were busy over-complicating workouts and selling you things you don’t need, we thought, “How about a gym where you can just show up, do the work, and feel great? And where we only offer client-requested & expertly-vetted products”. So, that’s exactly what we built—a place where fitness is fun, accessible, and most of all, sustainable.
We created a space where people can show up, sweat it out, and go on with their day. No gimmicks, no nonsense. Just real workouts, fitness education, and a whole lot of community vibes. Picture the ‘Cheers’ of gyms—where everybody knows your name, and yes, we’re always glad you came.
We’ve got the best personal training in the area, to help you crush your goals with no fluff, just real people doing real work and who reeeeaaaalllly care. But we didn’t stop there. As we listened to our community, we expanded to offer gym memberships, nutrition coaching, mobility training, and more—because we’re all about providing the tools you need to live your healthiest life.
Our team? They’re quirky, they’re fun, and they genuinely care about your progress—without the sleazy sales tactics.
We’re proud to be woman-owned, locally operated, and laser-focused on serving our community.
Our mission: eliminate lifestyle-related illnesses and deaths, by normalizing health & fitness through education, service, and outreach!
Come for the workouts, stay for the family. Let’s keep moving, growing, and thriving—together.
Success Expansion Project
If you’ve found us in 2025, you’re catching us at an exciting time—we’re growing! After years of being a personal training-only facility, we’re expanding into a full-service gym while keeping the community feel and expert coaching that set us apart.
A Little History
Success Fitness started in 2001 in a small basement gym (formerly a taekwondo studio) at 1862 Beam Avenue. For years, we focused on what we do best—personal training. Occasionally, we’d get requests for general gym memberships, but never enough to shift our model.
By 2019, under new ownership, we reconsidered the idea. Then COVID hit, shutting everything down. When we reopened, demand for smaller, community-based gyms skyrocketed as many big gyms never reopened, and people wanted a more personal, welcoming space.
In 2022, we tested the waters with a limited number of memberships. As word spread and more gyms closed, we saw the writing on the wall—it was time to expand.
What’s Coming in May 2025?
We’re expanding just upstairs from our original location into an additional 3000sf, fully equipped space—while keeping our culture of expert coaching, zero egos, and real support. Don’t worry - those of you who know & love the underground space - it’s not going anywhere!
To ensure a smooth transition, we’re offering just 100 initial memberships. This lets us adjust to the volume while maintaining our standards for cleanliness, quality, and community.
How to Join
✔ Month-to-month, no contracts
✔ Grandfathered rate: $59/month
✔ Limited to the first 100 members—once they’re gone, new sign-ups will be paused until we’re ready to grow again.
If you want a gym that actually cares about your success—this is your chance. Secure your spot before they’re gone!
Let’s Grow!!

Here’s a little sneak peak of how to find us and what to expect - at least from our Maplewood location (we have a Coon Rapids location as well)!
