Seattle Members Share Their First Year at KlickWay

In one year, Seattle's member recommendation score jumped from +6 to +45. Here's what members told us.

When Big Iron Gym Seattle became KlickWay Athletics in November 2024, members were on the fence. Most liked the gym, but few were going out of their way to recommend it.

One year later, that changed. Every member quote here comes from a public Google review, linked so you can read it in full.

That's a 39-point jump in one year, and members plan to stay longer than they did a year ago.

Members Getting Results

One name came up again and again in Seattle's coaching reviews: trainer Kristen.

“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… The gym itself has great equipment and I prefer it to my usual gym.”

Jessica S., Seattle · Read on Google

“I've also had the chance to see her working with other clients, and it's clear that everyone she trains is having a great time while also being challenged and pushed to their potential. Kristen is one of the many bright lights of KlickWay (the staff are real rockstars!).”

“Definitely a bodybuilding gym! There's a posing room and posing classes. Lots of successful bodybuilding athletes (and coaches).”
