I never ever thought I would be able to physically do crossfit just b/c I've never been very physically active. my friend invited me to join her for a class and while I was a little scared, my curiosity won out; I wanted to try it. My 1st class was actually (dare i say) fun. Challenging but fun. Dont get me wrong, I was a sweaty mess when I left BUT I felt great. Everyone I've met there has been super friendly and helpful! Not a single person has made me feel bad or not so smart for not knowing anything about anything. ALL the coaches I've taken classes with have been GREAT with encouragement or any corrections on form and coming up with modifications for moves that I'm not quite ready for. I love this place! Less

Great workout space. Great music. Love the atmosphere. Easy to get to. Highly recommend.

Amazing gym, amazing coaches, fun group atmosphere! As a novice, the coaches do a great job helping me learn new things and adapting workouts to my skill level. They push me to achieve things I didn't think I could do.

My kids went to the detour kids class until they aged out. They had a phenomenal experience learning proper form along with how to work certain muscle groups.

The coaches at Detour are fantastic. All are encouraging, knowledgeable and are great motivators. There are a variety of workouts classes and they always offer modifications if needed. Truly a gym for all!

Detour is a great place to work out! And abundance of equipment great coaches, and great workouts! I especially love the BUILD class!

If you are looking for a place with a motivating community, amazing coaches, and nice equipment, this is the place for you! I’m so happy I made the decision to try a workout at detour because it has been one of the best decisions. 2 years later I am always looking forward to attending class. Highly recommend Detour!

The most welcoming gym i have ever been a part of! they have a have staff of coaches who are always willing to help!

Large facility, friendly instructors

I love working out at Detour! All of the staff is so encouraging and helpful with each workout. I have enjoyed every workout session and the people as well. I love this quote on the wall that keeps me motivated - "It doesn't get easier, you get better" I highly recommend the Women's Circle (for ladies) and the BUILT Classes are challenging!

I recently visited Detour while in Rochester for work. It was a fantastic workout led by Matt, welcoming environment, and a great playlist! It was a different style of workout than I typically do, but it was inclusive and easily customizable to my needs. Thanks for having me Matt!

Great place to train! The classes have a great balance of challenging you, but not feeling too rigorous for where you're at (especially if you are newer to work out classes). I would highly recommend anyone that is trying to get in shape or find a new work out gym to check our Detour.

Great workouts, helpful coaches, & friendly people. I love the flexibly of having multiple classes offered throughout the day.

They had lots of great materials for a workout. Really fun place to go when I went with my son.

One of ROCHESTER’s best gyms to be apart of!! Passionate Coaches, amazing support from all the coaches and other members. Truly a hidden gem in town.

Started training at Detour/Blueprint360coaching less than 2 weeks ago and have already seen substantial gains in strength, endurance and overall energy levels. The personalized health coaching has been phenomenal and has helped me rediscover nutritional value. The community is also wonderfully supportive and uplifting. Having a blast so far and feeling great!

Best place to get a work out in classes are good size and Evan is the best coach I go to his fba class evening time never let's me down on a good workout and great advice from all the coaches

I can’t say enough good things about Detour and coach Matt! This gym is such an amazing asset to our Rochester community. Even in the midst of my postpartum journey, Coach Matt and his team have been a huge support for me. I can’t recommend Detour enough !

I LOVE Detour! I joined about a year in a half ago looking for structured workouts that would challenge me. I found that right away PLUS an awesome community. I have made some great friends that I love working out with and the coaches are so awesome - really getting to know me and what I need.

Top Tier Training and Facilities at Detour Athletics!!!!!

For 15 years I have known Matt and the product he produces. I live on the road now but travel home regularly and make Detour my training facility when I am Rochester. I cannot recommend Detour enough and hope you too take the time to go check it out!

Detour Athletics is an amazing environment with even better people. Top of the line equipment and elite coaching staff. Will change your life.

Great coaches! I really appreciate the effort to individualize trainings to assure safe and effective workouts. FBA and Women’s Circle workouts were just what I needed to build up strength. The “no judgement” and supportive attitudes of fellow members made it comfortable for me from day one.

This is one of the best CrossFit gyms I have been to. Everyone is welcoming and there are so many options for every level of fitness. Would highly recommend!

This is the best gym out there! The facility is absolutely amazing. Detour has several pieces of equipment and lots of room to workout in. However, the best part about Detour is the Coaching Staff and Community. The Coaches are well trained. But more importantly, the Coaches care about the Member's overall wellbeing.

The best place to get fit!

I’ve been a member for several years and while I initially was a bit scared of trying Crossfit, I found I could actually do most of the exercises and could modify or use lighter weights if that worked best for me too. Great place to work out and a good community too !

Detour has great workouts for anyone starting out. Anything can be tailored to your needs. The coaching is professional and educated.

Best gym ever!

CrossFit, full body asthetics, women’s circle, power lifting, endurance, plus more. I love all the options. There’s a place for everyone regardless of fitness level!

Great place- clean space, knowledgeable coaches & different class options with a variety of times. This place is much needed in your life...physically & mentally!

Awesome gym, great coaches, even better community. More equipment and nicer facilities than your typical CrossFit gym. Large variety of workouts with lots of options for every skill level. It’s great to be able to just show up and have the workout already laid out. Having some friendly competition is also a huge motivator for me.

It's a place to find great people chasing similar goals. The coaching staff is top notch! Recommedn to everyone

After relocating to Rochester from Minneapolis, I found Detour and it quickly became my place for community and fitness.

Detour has been a great place for me to challenge myself and get better. The coaches are genuine, the equipment is top notch and the community is a blast. There are several gym events hosted though out the year keeping the community very engaged. I highly recommend this place for anyone.

I joined Detour Athletics in 2016 looking for something new and exciting and I certainly found just that. I was welcomed with open arms and great challenges since day 1. The coaches are top notch and provide great insight and a helpful push when needed. I would recommend Detour to anyone in the Rochester area looking for something new or any CrossFitter who might be swinging through!

This is a great gym to be apart of. Great coaching and very clean facility.

I’ve been a member of Detour for over a year now and can honestly say that for the first time in my fitness journey, I look forward to going. The community is always welcoming and the programming is such that it will push your boundaries at the same time as meeting you where you are in your own physical fitness. Oh yeah and the weightlifting/barbell classes are my new favorite!

I’ve been a member at Detour for almost 8 years. This community makes the hour workout my favorite time of the day. My kids have come to a few workouts and enjoy working out. Matt and the staff truly care about the members as people and understand that this is a lifestyle.

I've been a member of Detour almost 4 years and honestly I've never thought how much I will like it ..amm I love that place , love the people , coaches and kid friendly .. they always there for you no matter what. Love when Matt brings community together . ❤️

Highly recommend Detour for anyone who is looking to mix things up! I love that I can show up for an hour and I know I am always going to get an awesome workout in. It’s a great mix of strength training and cardio. The coaches are very personable and are great at giving modifications, if needed.

This is my happy place. I start my day there every morning. The coaches are amazing and the members are friendly.

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.

Absolute best gym community in town, love my Detour Fam.

Everyone needs fitness in their life. This is an amazing place to get that.. Beginners and experienced athletes alike.

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. 100% recommend to anyone looking to get serious about their training regimen!

Amazing community and Coaches!!! Guaranteed a good workout!

Awesome people....Awesome community! The organization of classes is what makes this work...each class is laid out so all you have to do is show up and put in the effort. The coach's make the workout understandable and provide ample support. What you get for what you pay is a good deal!

We attended for a rowing outing there. We were welcomed and ownership was wonderful to deal with. Fantastic establishment.

Coach Jamie is amazing! She is thoughtful, kind, and inspiring. She will push you when you need it and support your mental health when you need to slow down and breath. I also love coach Shelly who brought me to Detour via Switch. She is so positive and supportive and kind.

Awesome place to workout! The coaches are even better!

Lastly, the gym is extremely well-equipped with a variety of class offerings, and yes, they have showers too. Detour is hands down the best place to achieve your fitness goals and be part of an awesome community. Highly recommend! Less

I recently had the pleasure of joining CrossFit Detour and I can confidently say it has been an incredible experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with friendly faces and a welcoming atmosphere. The gym is top-notch, with clean and spacious workout areas that had everything I needed for my workout. The equipment was in excellent condition and the gym was well-stocked with a wide range of exercise machines and weights to cater to all levels of fitness. What really stood out to me was the quality of coaching provided by the trainers. They were knowledgeable, approachable and had a great understanding of how to help me get the most out of my workout. They took the time to explain each exercise and ensured that my form was correct before adding any weight or intensity. This was especially helpful for me as a beginner to CrossFit. The classes were challenging but fun, and I left each session feeling stronger and more energized. The community aspect of the gym was also impressive, with everyone supporting each other and pushing each other to reach their goals. It was great to be a part of such a positive and motivating environment. Overall, I would highly recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness and join a supportive community. The facilities, coaching and community are all top-notch and I can't wait to continue my fitness journey with them. Less

Really well equipped gym (1st time I've ever seen the 5lb Rogue olympic weights! :) , large and spacious. Nice community and Coach Matt was super friendly.

My wife and I dropped in for a Saturday class. I have known Owner/Coach Matt from a previous crossfit gym, but was stunned by what he has built at Detour. The gym is clean, large and well laid out. They have anything you would need to Crossfit or build strength. Communication while reaching out ahead of time was timely and helpful. The other athletes in the class were motivating and friendly.

Matt himself was knowledgeable, welcoming, energetic and has a clear understanding of what he wants from his programming for a stronger healthier member. I and my wife, who's newer to Crossfit, had a great experience and would recommend anyone give Detour a try. Less

Matt (owner) was a great guy to meet and welcomed us to use the gym even as out of town folks. If you are a new resident of Rochester or just passing through, you have to check out Detour. They have everything you need for your fitness goals and an incredibly friendly atmosphere.

Fitness training that can change your life. The owner, staff, and members genuinely care about your goals and accomplishments. I love this place!

Detour Athletics is unique to Rochester MN. You will not find a gym like it! Detour has amazing fitness options as far as open gym space, equipment and showers! Detour offers a unique programming to fit everyone’s fitness level. Detour is not just a fitness facility, it’s family.

Really nice place to workout awesome coaches. If you want a place to training this is our perfect place to go.

Great environment and equipment

I was a member of Detour for 8 months before moving away. One of the things I missed most about Rochester was DETOUR. This is a gym unlike any other. The staff are so welcoming and inclusive.

Awesome facility and even better staff. Super friendly and educational class. Teacher (Jamie) was really good about giving options for injuries and help with form. 10/10 would recommend.

Friendly people, clean atmosphere, and top notch equipment. Definitely recommend for anyone in the area or a drop in 👍🏼

There are workout facilities, there are gyms, and there are crossfit gyms; Detour is none of the above. Walking into Detour looks like your typical fitness center.

You will see exercise equipment, hear music playing, and see all the different possibilities, but you will notice something different than anywhere else. You will notice atmosphere. The thing that sets this place apart is its environment and community. From coaches and instructors who genuinely care about you and your life, to workout partners that become life time friends, you will find that Detour is unlike anywhere else. They provide diverse programing that is so fluid and functional that you will see people of all fitness levels participating no matter what time of the day you go. Classes run throughout the day, almost hourly, with multiple program options in each period. If you are worried about past Injuries or limitations, your coach of the hour will have multiple variations of what is programed for the day to accommodate whatever your needs and limits are. Basically, Detour provides more than just fitness: they provide lifestyle and well-being growth. Less

Loved working out there. Couldn't walk the second day.

I cannot say enough good things about this gym! Great coaches! Great equipment! Challenging workouts. Meaningful feedback on form and effort. This place is a mental health booster as well as a physical workout.

Very clean, great atmosphere many workout variations

Awesome gym with all the equipment you could imagine! We had a great drop in experience! The coaches and members are super helpful and friendly!

Dropped in for a Saturday workout. Programming was great, lots of room and lots of equipment. Awesome box.

I've been attending Detour for appx 2 months and I absolutely love it. This is the first time that I have started a gym membership and stuck with it consistently. The coaches are superb.

An incredible place to train. I would recommend the programming here to anyone. Regardless of where you are at on your health journey. Top notch coaches and a truly great community!

After months of quarantine I really needed to find a gym and train before my trip to Vegas for some professional firearms training.

After months of quarantine I really needed to find a gym and train before my trip to Vegas for some professional firearms training. Working out 3-4 times a week for a month with amazing coaches plus very clean and well kept equipment was exactly what I was looking for in a gym. And having just returned from my Defensive Handgun Course I realized the workouts really paid off because I didn't have any low back pain and could focus on the training. This is my third Crossfit gym experience in town over the last seven years and finally have found my new home! Less

Great place to train

Great coaches and wonderful programming! I've made lots of great friends here!

great workout

I like working out at Detour, it has good set of equipments, awesome community and great coaching crew!!!

Great atmosphere for the supportive team feel. Workouts vary to allow for full body exercises.

The community and coaches are the best around. Facility is brand new with new equipment and showers. Wide variety of classes to take and the coaches are great at modifying a workout if needed.

Matt and his crew do an amazing job!

Fantastic facility and coaching! Very welcoming to a visiting Crossfitter!

Detour has an amazing community and great coaches. You get a full workout in an hour -- no having to guess what to do or cobble together a workout. You're in and out. They also teach you *how* to train properly. Most people make major mistakes working out on their own. And you get a personal experience interacting with coaches and other members instead of just working out by yourself, headphones ... More

They also teach you *how* to train properly. Most people make major mistakes working out on their own. And you get a personal experience interacting with coaches and other members instead of just working out by yourself, headphones on, with a bunch of strangers. Highly recommended! And you get a free trial for one week. You can try it no commitment. They don't pressure you at all either. You can workout for a week - if you like it, cool. If not, cool. Less

This is the MOST amazing gym to drop into. They will treat you like family, not an out of towner. I came in for 6 weeks while being treated at mayo for cancer and I couldn’t have met a nicer group of people including the coaches. Especially Jaime the coach, was friendly and helpful.

I honestly can't say enough about my experience at Detour and the atmosphere and environment that surrounds this gym. When my wife was first admitted to the Mayo Clinic and scheduled for 6 weeks of treatment I knew one of the things I didn't want to let go of was my fitness. I also knew that being surrounded by people in an uplifting environment would be crucial to helping me get through our current circumstances. What I ended up researching and finding was Detour. They fit the description of everything I was looking for and upon some further exploration through facebook and Instagram it looked like it had some quality individuals running the show. What I came to find was a thriving community led by a team of personable and professional coaches who are always seemingly smiling and encouraging others to be better. Within minutes of reaching out to Detour on Facebook, and sharing a bit of what I was looking for - a gym to workout for a period of 6-8 weeks where I could keep my fitness level up and be coached without having to think to much - I was replied to and encouraged to stop by at my very first chance. This all came from Matt Arnold, who owns and operates Detour, and someone I came to find out is one of the most positive and supportive individuals I've experienced in my time going to different gyms. Now the gym review - one of my favorite things about crossfit and something I found to be priority number 1 at Detour was the thought that crossfit is for ANYONE willing to sept through that door. Every gym should operate the way Detour does because when you enter into the gym your met with a smile, encouragement and the support of a well trained staff that will help you reach the goals you have set for yourself. There is no intimidation. There is no side-eye expressions because you can't do a certain move or workout. There is encouragement, support and the never ending push to help you be better then when you entered the gym the day before. Beyond the workouts Matt seems to be creating a tribe in the Rochester community and pushing the reach outside of the 4 Walls. While my wife and I were unable to attend the events Matt set up for the Detour crew they seemed to hit the mark with his clients and It sounds like more of the same is on the way. SO if you're looking for a crossfit gym to push you to the limits (they certainly can and have several top level people working out and training for competitions) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Detour Athletics. Whether your looking to dip your toe in and just test the waters or push you to that next level of fitness that you feel your on the cusp of Detour would be a great place to be. I told many people - While I'm not sad my wife and I are leaving Rochester, MN to return home the one thing I will miss are the 3:30 classes at Detour. They gave me 1 hour a day to let my mind go blank and forget about the word Cancer and all the weight the word carriers. Thank you Detour - you helped me through the 6 toughest weeks of my life.

Not a great experience for both experienced and inexperienced Crossfitters. The staff was not engaged and provided very little direction.

The atmosphere here is a big reason for my personal success. The support, fun, and push they provide is all the reason to join!

I love working out here! Detour has a large equipment inventory from (true form) treadmills to jump ropes. The coaches are caring and do a fantastic job assisting anyone with modifications to a workout. Have an injury? Is what you are doing not comfortable? Don’t sweat it! The coach will have you do another similar movement. Everyone is so nice and very welcoming. The only downside is that there ... More

Excellent trainers!!!

It's a nice gym with very friendly and welcoming staff and members.

Great place to work with body weight exercises.

I've "taken the Detour" since Matt opened it, and don't want to be anywhere else. Fantastic coaching, challenging workouts, supportive staff, and a caring family feel. No regrets, only positive experiences.
