Detour Athletics Fitness Gym

Fantastic experience: I travel to Rochester 3-5 times a year for work, usually for 3-5 day trips. I found Detour my first trip out and could not believe I'd found such an amazing gym to drop-in at on the road. I travel a lot for work and finding 'decent' gyms to workout at while on the road/maintain my weekly routine is always a struggle. Detour has made my travels to Rochester feel like home with its warm welcome, ease of drop-in, and ample, CLEAN space full of every piece of equipment I could dream of to play with. Whether I'm lifting, doing stability accessory work, getting in heart pumping HIIT, or venturing outside my normal to play with other movements, Detour has everything and makes dropping-in easy and welcoming. I often will do open gym having my own programming, but I have joined several of their classes as well and purchased some of the programming. In addition to educated and energized coaching, Detour provides various class options for their members (CrossFit, HIIT, BUILT, weightlifting, recovery++), of which I love their BUILT and lifting programs. They also have locker rooms equipped with showers, making morning workouts before work a breeze. I wish Detour was in my home neighborhood as I'd 100% be a full-time member. As it stands though, I always look forward to hitting this gym when in town! Great space, great people, wonderful place to get your pump on!

Fantastic experience: Great people. Great coach. Having lots of fun so far.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I drop in whenever I am in town and there is always plenty of room to find a corner to get some work in. Thanks Detour!

Fantastic experience: I recently took classes here and everyone was so welcoming and helpful! The coaches were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and gave great modification options. Lots of equipment options and very clean. The classes are both challenging and fun. I definitely recommend Detour Athletics to reach your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I started my strength training at Detour Athletics, and it's been a great experience. Matt and his team run organized classes with clear instructions and helpful modifications for beginners. The gym offers classes for all fitness levels, and the coaches are great at adjusting exercises for individual needs. After each class, I feel stronger. The community is supportive, and the facility is clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Whether you're new or looking to improve, Detour Athletics is the place to be. I definitely recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Detour three times a week for the last 9 weeks, and I can confidently say that this is the most welcoming, judgment-free gym you'll ever find. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone picking up a dumbbell for the first time, the Detour team provides unmatched guidance, coaching, encouragement, and challenges. For the first time in my fitness journey, I no longer dread going to the gym. In fact, I look forward to each session with excitement as I know I'm going to get an incredible workout and move closer to my fitness goals. They’ve not only built an incredible facility, but they’ve also fostered an amazing, supportive community that makes every workout feel rewarding. If you're looking for a gym where you can truly thrive, regardless of your fitness level, Detour is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I made a switch from a different gym and have felt incredibly welcomed and supported from day one. Detour is amazing!

Fantastic experience: I was a member at the beginning, life took me away. I’m back now and Matt has created an amazing class called Built. This class provides a great mix of lifting and cardio but the best part is the coach is constantly correcting members so that they get the intended benefit of each lift or movement. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, supportive community with great coaches!!

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Detour since the start of the month, and let’s just say I believe I found my place. Been working out for 15 years and have been a member of multiple gyms with different environments. This one feels different. I fell off the wagon for quite a while..and if that’s you I can confidently say this gym has the tools to help you succeed. The coaches and other people here genuinely want you to succeed along with them. Gratitude is what comes to mind when I think about Detour. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or someone that is new and apprehensive..Detour can fit what you need.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best! After neglecting any sort of workout routine during my 30s, I decided to give it a shot and join detour. Started on my 40th birthday and never looked back. Great community and support from all the members and instructors. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the coaching and the facilities are top notch. People are friendly and inviting!

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re local or visiting from out of town, this is the place to be! The equipment is top-notch—everything is high-quality, well-maintained, and there's a variety of free weights, cardio equipment and more! The staff here is outstanding. They're incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help with anything you need, from workout advice to just making sure you’re comfortable. It’s clear they’re passionate about fitness and dedicated to creating a supportive atmosphere. The gym itself is spotless. It’s easy to tell they take cleanliness seriously, with everything being well-kept and sanitized throughout the day. Overall, this gym sets the bar high in every area, from equipment to service to cleanliness. If you’re looking for a place to train hard in a comfortable, well-maintained space with elite staff, this is it.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Great coaches and tough but fun workouts!!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for several years and been to many CrossFit boxes across the country and this one is as good as any. From the great coaching, to the programming and the community that attends, this is somewhere you can go to be the best version of yourself!

Fantastic experience: Detour is an awesome gym with compassionate coaches, welcoming members, and fantastic programming. Highly recommend the Built classes for a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Matt and his coaching staff set a standard of how to implement fitness into people’s daily routines while making it fun. Not very many people can say that they get that experience while working out. On top of just fitness in general, the amount of compassion and community that this place provides gives any person the will/motivation to achieve their goals, all while feeling like a sense of belonging to a gym that I find not many commercial gyms provide. Please give this place a look.

Fantastic experience: I'm new to crossfit. Detour has provided me with a very supportive team-based atmosphere. The coaches have taken the time to teach correct form as well as helped to design a personalized blueprint to guide me towards reaching my goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Detour Athletics since October 2024. Initially, I was hesitant to join, but since then, I have not turned back. Not only is it a top-notch gym, but the community is excellent. Throughout my fitness journey, I have learned a lot about physical health and well-being from my coaches and members. If you are unsure of joining, try it; you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I just joined Detour and absolutely love it! The community is so nice. It’s a great gym with people of all skill levels who encourage each other. The classes are amazing and really push you. One thing I’ve noticed most is the coaches really take the time to invest in you and teach you.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town, very accommodating classes and the coaches are amazing and they actually care. Super fun and cool environment!! I’m so glad I came to this gym coach Matt is very knowledgeable and encouraging and fun as a coach.

Fantastic experience: 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!

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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: I was in Rochester for work, and needed a place to workout. Was told about Detour Athletics, and dropped in for a workout. This place was AMAZING. Coach Matt was very welcoming along with the rest of the athletes. He helped with explaining the workout and also was very motivating and encouraging. The workout left me exhausted, sweaty, but very accomplished! There is nothing better than finding a place that makes you feel like a home away from home!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Highly recommend the coaches, gym and supportive community.

It's everything you need for a full-body workout in just 60 minutes – super efficient! The community here is incredible. Both the coaches and gym-goers are genuinely good people. Whether you're new in town or just looking to meet new friends, this is the place to be. The gym hosts fun social events, and everyone is cool and nice.

Fantastic experience: 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 !

Fantastic experience: I joined Detour in November 2023 and am in the best shape of my life! I recently did a 12-week program with Matt as my nutrition and exercise coach, and it was awesome. He is the best combination of challenging, motivational as well as understanding. I attend mostly FBA (Full Body Aesthetic) classes because I find that they are a bit easier on my body as I get older. I love the other coaches as well - Shelly, Evan, Randi, Adam, and there are a bunch of new coaches that I'm excited to train with. I love that the coaches want to get to know me and care about more than just my fitness! It's a great gym!

Fantastic experience: 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.

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.

Fantastic experience: The best place to get fit!

Fantastic experience: 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 !
