In November 2024, the Big Iron Gym locations in Seattle, Everett and Marysville became KlickWay Athletics. From day one, our focus has been simple: help members get results and make the gym a place they want to come back to.
A year later, we asked members how it's going. Their answers, and their stories, are below. Every member quote here comes from a public Google review, linked so you can read it in full.
Members Are Getting Results, and Staying
Year One Member Survey
When we took over, members were split on whether they'd recommend the gym. Today, far more members actively recommend KlickWay than not, and nearly all plan to keep training with us.
Results That Come From Real Coaching
The biggest thing members talk about isn't a machine. It's what's happening in their training.
“I was looking for somebody who would help me execute better form, help me build muscle at 46 and push me hard yet respect my body's capabilities… I have seen major gains from her just in 7 weeks.”
Jessica S., Seattle · Read on Google
“I came in with pain, and within minutes she not only figured out exactly what was going on but helped relieve it on the spot… she gave me practical homework to keep improving and prevent it from coming back.”
S. F., Seattle · Read on Google
“Eli is easily the best trainer I've had and has reignited my passion for lifting… I recommend him to anyone who wants to reach their next level or who might be plateauing at the gym!”
Emerson C., Seattle (member since the Big Iron days) · Read on Google
In Everett, Jennalyn and her husband started bodybuilding with owner Brian Klick as their coach:
“My husband and I began our bodybuilding journey with him and he has changed our lives forever… We've seen so much progress and feel stronger than ever — couldn't ask for a better place or community!”

A Gym Where Members Feel at Home
Results stick when people like where they train. Members of every age and experience level told us they feel at home here.
“I loved this place as Big Iron and love it even more as KlickWay! I didn't think it could get any better, but I was wrong.”
Ana P., Everett · Read on Google
“I am in my 60's and feel right at home. KlickWay trainers are friendly and helpful. After I started getting help from the trainer I saw much better results.”
Anita S., Marysville · Read on Google
“The community within the gym feels welcoming and supportive as well… This is a quality gym and is definitely worth the money.”
Jetto, Marysville · Read on Google
Built Around What Members Asked For
Every improvement this year started with member feedback:
- New and upgraded strength equipment
- Updated bathrooms and cleaner facilities
- Expanded personal training and nutrition coaching
Members who trained here under the Big Iron name noticed:
“Use to workout here when it was Big Iron. The owner has made some great changes with the gym with a ton of new equipment and much cleaner.”
Dana S., Seattle · Read on Google
“The new owner is committed to developing the location and is actively listening to customers to add new equipment and improve the facility.”

What's Next
We're proud of year one, and we're not done. Year two is about more of what's working: more coaching options, more equipment members ask for, and more member wins. We'll keep asking members what they need, keep acting on it, and keep sharing the results here.
