Bellevue beats out Seattle once again in the announcement that the iconic DavidBartonGym will open in Bellevue at the Bravern. The Bravern will also be the future home of the Neiman Marcus Department Store. David Barton currently has five gyms at Chelsea and Uptown New York, Chicago and Miami.
Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or not, chances are you know the name David Barton and his eponymous promise to make you “Look Better Naked.” Since the opening of the first location, membership at DavidBartonGym became akin to what VIP status at the right club was in the ’80s. Still perhaps the most talked about health club in the industry, these one-of-a-kind gyms and their outspoken owner have been featured in publications as varied as The New York Times, Vogue, Town & Country, Vanity Fair, Newsweek and The New Yorker. Entrepreneurial and charismatic, David Barton has parlayed a career in bodybuilding into a widely successful fitness empire with locations in New York, Chicago and Miami with other slated for Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Bellevue.
The gym is extremely gay friendly and they are able to create an atmosphere where you don’t even feel like you are working out with almost a “movie-set” feeling. Here is a popular review of DavidBartonGym at the Genex blog. Read about all the details of their future opening as they are released right here on the Gay Seattle Blogspot.
