KlickWay Athletics - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Emerson Collin: Ive been going to Klickway (formerly Big Iron) for years now. The gym is great! But I want to focus this review on Eli Echols, a personal trainer at Klickway: I have been lifting for 5+ years and have had a couple other trainers in the past. Eli is easily the best trainer Ive had and has reignited my passion for lifting. He makes training fun but also immensely rewarding. Eli doesnt just train, he teaches with an end goal of self-sufficiency. The workouts are sometimes crippling, but thats perfect for a bodybuilding gym. I cannot say enough positives about Eli and recommend him to anyone who wants to reach their next level or who might be plateauing at the gym!

5 /5 Jessica Souyoultzis: I live in NE Seattle and commute down to Klickway twice a week to get trained by Kristen. I looked hard for a trainer and spoke to a number of trainers before I landed here with her. She gave me trial session and I was certain it was a match. 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 bodies capabilities. I also love that she has competitive bodybuilding knowledge and looks at my body with an eye for symmetry. She is amazing and I have seen major gains from her just in 7 weeks. She has programmed workouts for me in an app and even does stretching therapy which has helped an old neck injury as well as loosen up my lower back. The gym itself has great equipment and I prefer it to my usual gym. The vibe there is super relaxed yet people are there to get to work.

5 /5 S. Farnsworth-Kumli: Kristen is absolutely incredible. 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. Her knowledge base is unreal — she has years of experience and a deep understanding of how the body works. She’s also a super friendly approachable trainer! What really stood out is that she didn’t just treat the issue — she gave me practical homework to keep improving and prevent it from coming back. 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!)— her energy, expertise, and care for people make every visit to the gym better. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Also heard rumor shes starting a mobility class soon- go learn from her and feel better!

5 /5 Jason Brown: A good gym, equipment is varied (dumbbells up to 150s) and they’re good about cleaning/maintaining things. There’s a big posing room and a smaller private posing booth if you’re into competing (or just taking selfies). They’ve also started to update some machines since taking over which is nice. (Editing (improving) my review because they’ve made an effort to address the issue of the music being on full blast all the time, which was my only issue.)
