    Out to visit family there too. I will tell you basically you have Golds gym Kirkland and golds gym Bothell. Both bodybuilder friendly, and welcoming and complete gyms. They are about 20min outside downtown seattle.

    Quite a drive from Seattle tho. I guess it depends on if you are literally in Seattle or if you just mean the general area of the state you could try that luxury gym in Seattle that Dave was raving about (I forget the name).
    There is no maintaining. You are either gaining or losing. Now, you decide...

    David Barton's gym is nice but I wouldn't call it bber friendly or hardcore by any means which the OP is looking for, Flex wheeler fitness sounds badass and Stan Efferding is there all day working the counter, I would go there just to talk shop with the rhino

    Stan Efferding is living in Las Vegas now, but his Flex Wheeler Fitness is still open for business and there's some good lifters and builders coming out of that facility. Here's some other choices for the city of Seattle.

    Almost 400 staffers lost jobs when David Barton Gyms abruptly closed across the city on Wednesday.

    “All the staff and everyone just found out, right before the holidays,” a source told us Tuesday night. Another added, “They lost their health insurance.”

    “Everyone is shocked,” said yet another.
    Users of the Glam&Go salons at the Barton Astor Place and West Village locations got an e-mail at 12:58 a.m. Wednesday saying, “I’m sorry to e-mail this way. We have been informed . . . their facilities will be closed permanently, effective immediately. We wish we could have given more notice, and transition plan, but we are letting you know as soon as we find out.”

    Reps told us 369 employees lost their jobs and that the abrupt closure was due to increasing rental costs and competition from other fitness venues.
    Founder David Barton, who left the company in 2013, told us that he’s “sad,” and, “People are calling and showing up at my new gym, TMPL. I’m not quite sure what to do . . . But it’s the holidays. Come in and work out on me, for now. We’ll figure something out in 2017.”
