Love love love detour!! Moved here last year and quickly realized that I was gonna need to find a good gym community if I was going to stay active and continue working out consistently. A coworker suggested I try Detour, and man am I glad I did! The coaches are absolutely fantastic and truly want to see you succeed. I also like that there are other classes besides CrossFit and they continue to add even more classes. So whatever style of workout you're looking for, you'll find it here. Also, super friendly community which makes working out actually something I look forward to.

I joined this gym in October 2023 and found there are a variety of classes for a variety of fitness levels. All of the coaches are exceptional at modifying moves for whatever reason. The community is supportive and welcoming. I’d recommend anyone looking for a place to start or continue their fitness journey to give Detour a try.

I have been a member of this place for almost 10 years now. The gym is the nicest crossfit facility I have been in. The owner is passionate about helping people both physically and mentally. He truly cares about his members! He has a niche for finding great coaches to help out as well. Detour Athletics has also invested in lots of exercise machines to make sure you have the best equipment for your workout! If you are either a Rochester resident or someone looking to do drop-in classes, I HIGHLY recommend Detour Athletics.

I joined Detour in October 2023 and quickly found my go-to class at 5am. Matt is an amazing coach, focused on helping each and every person that walks through his doors. You’ll be disappointed if you hit snooze and miss his classes! Shelly leads an awesome group of women every Saturday morning at “The Circle” that I highly recommend too. So very grateful to start 6/7 mornings every week in this safe, encouraging and motivating gym. Come check them out!

Matt and the rest of the staff have been incredible. Have done open gym and classes, and had the best experience. My daughter has done youth classes, and my teams have done team training at Detour. I 100% recommend it to anyone looking to get serious about their training regimen!
