Progression Fitness

Fantastic experience: I was in town for treatment at the Mayo Clinic. Nic and his team set me up to workout for the 2 weeks while I was in town. Their team and the gym members are so warm and friendly! A great experience and the positive coaching kept me motivated for more. If you need a place to be part of a community and get an awesome workout- this is your only stop. Thanks all!! See you soon.

Fantastic experience: The coaches here are very knowledgeable about how to come up with the right exercises for me based on my needs. I get the right encouragement needed to do better, without pressure to compete against anyone but myself. The gym has great equipment, but it is the coaches and community that have make this place special for the last 7+ years. I can't even imagine where I would be without them!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Progression Fitness for nearly 12 years and it's been life-changing for me. Prior to coming here I was active, but not athletic. Over the past 12 years I have not only gained strength, but confidence, and an amazing and supportive community! The coaches are well trained, knowledgeable, professional, and extremely encouraging. If you are unable to do certain movements they are skilled at giving an alternate, but stiĺl challenging, movement to sub with. Progression Fitness checks all my boxes: a top notch and clean facility, well equipped, the BEST coaches, and a wide variety of class times. It is a safe place to grow in your fitness journey and the members and community are welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Top notch people and community. Everyone at Progression from coaches to community members has positively impacted my motivation for a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Joining Progression almost six years ago was the best decision I have ever made. I only wish I would've joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: I have been at Progression just under a year, but it has become my new gym home. I have done CrossFit for over 10 years, and the owners and coaches here are the best I have come across. There is room for everyone here--brand new, former athletes, people who want to compete, people working to overcome illness and disability. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. Still being new-ish to Rochester, I feel most at home when I am at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable coaches. I’ve never felt more safe. AND a great, supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Progression Fitness provides an environment for you to succeed with your personal health and fitness goals. They are welcoming to all levels of ability, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Come join us!

Fantastic experience: 8 years ago my hubby and I joined CFP. It is by far the best gym my husband and I have ever been member of. You are coached and guided all the way. Their nutrition program is also excellent.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym two years ago with a goal that was easily achieved in 6 months, thanks to the expert coaches. I ended up staying around because the gym and the people there became my second family. Now I have new goals, people supporting me every day, and coaches pushing me every day. I look and feel the best I ever have thanks to this gym.

Fantastic experience: High quality, individualized coaching. Fabulous facility, very clean and well equipped. Owners are keenly focused on health and well being. Welcoming to EVERYONE! 15 years of membership and I still LOVE IT!! The most supportive and encouraging community to help you start where you are at and achieve your own health goals!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this amazing gym for 10+ years. The coaching is unparalleled, facility is huge and CLEAN, and programming is adaptable for all levels of fitness. They have trained nutrition coaches who focus on sustainable habits to achieve long-term success in maintaining overall health. The members here are so encouraging and will help keep you accountable; they truly are my second family. And throughout the year they do fundraisers to help local community groups. This place is just amazing. EVERYONE is welcome! ❤️

Fantastic experience: CFP is the absolute BEST! If you’re looking for a friendly, fitness-focused environment, this is the gym for you. I have made so much personal and fitness progress with the help of CFP staff - you can’t go wrong with this place!

Fantastic experience: UPDATE: I’m still at Progression 2 1/2 years later. And I still love it! This gym has everything you need to become the fittest version of yourself. The coaches are so knowledgeable and are still amazing. Don’t put it off any longer — come and join this amazing community. Progress Fitness has become my home (away from home)! I had an interest in CrossFit for several years, but was so out of shape, old, & intimidated that I hesitated looking into it for far too long! After 4 personal sessions with Nic (thanks bud!) I was hooked & determined to improve my health & fitness. I am also rehabbing after 2 shoulder surgeries. The expert, approachable coaches help me modify movements for every single class. I am forever indebted to this amazing & welcoming community!

Fantastic experience: Best gym around! The coaches are amazing, and the community is awesome. It's my happy place - and has been for almost 10 years!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for four years. The coaches and staff at this gym are kind, fun and incredibly knowledgeable! I’ve grown as an athlete and gained countless friends along the way, as this gym is truly like a family. If you’re looking for somewhere that will welcome you with open arms, introduce you safely to all that is CrossFit, and tailor workouts individually to your needs, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with coaches who are friendly and motivate you to be the best version of you. There are plenty of workout times to accommodate your schedule.

Fantastic experience: The most wonderful community of people and coaches. All ages, all abilities and so supportive.

Fantastic experience: CFP is a community of very knowledge staff/coaches, and the ultimate in support for each individual. It doesn't matter where you happen to be in your fitness journey, they will customize the appropriate workout for you. You can even get one-on-one coaching as well as nutrition plans. The support and encouragement is like no other!

Fantastic experience: Great space, equipment and programming, but most importantly the best staff and community that you could find.

Fantastic experience: The space is incredible, the staff are extremely knowledgeable, and it has such a community feel. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: CFP is way more than a gym. It is a fitness community full of amazing coaches and challenging group classes. I would highly recommend it to beginners and professional athletes.

Fantastic experience: CFP has been the best gym community for my health journey. The Coaches are so supportive and push you to be your best self. Workouts are challenging and yet can always be modified to a person's abilities. The members are like my second family! This is my happy place and coming here keeps me sane, healthy, happy and a better person!!!

Fantastic experience: Nic S was incredibly knowledgeable and was fast to respond over text to answer all my questions about the gym and membership! Made the entire process super easy, would highly recommend Nic and Progression Fitness to anyone looking for a gym.

Fantastic experience: Did a couple of drop ins here. Awesome facility, great coaching(Jeremy), great community that is welcoming, and solid workouts.

Fantastic experience: Called thinking it was a 24hr gym, Nick still pointed me in the right direction and told me my best opinion for gyms around Rochester. Definitely a great manager!

Fantastic experience: I am a returning member to this gym. I have only had wonderful experience at this gym. I started several years ago and joined in crossfit classes, lost alot of weight and got into shape. Did some personal training with Nic who is awesome! I took a break due to being an "advanced human" and had hip replacement and am back. To start out, I went back to person al training with Julie who is phenomenal. Currently in a Rev class with an instructor who is equally amazing and is so patient with me to make sure I am doing things right for best benefit or to avoid injury. Everyone is encouraged no matter skill level or ability. I like the variety of class times to choose from. I like the extra activities this gym offers. I have always found that the equipment here good.

Fantastic experience: Professional welcoming great people

Fantastic experience: Logan is the best Crossfit coach in the world! :)

Fantastic experience: Love working out here. Great coaches who make sure you are doing things correctly, and welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit Box. While my daughter was doing a procedure at the Mayo Clinic, I bought a week pass and loved every minute and workout. Coach Jeremy was awesome and I loved the morning crew I got to workout with. If you are in town go get some workouts in here.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in during a visit to Rochester for a week. Excellent facility, clean and well maintained, modern equipment, and superb coaches. I travel all over the world and drop in boxes frequently. Progression Fitness is one of the best. Looking forward to another visit next time I'm in town!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching staff that truly care about you and your goals.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Whether you're new to fitness or have been working out for years they always have ways to push you to make you better. The coaches here really break down movements so you understand them and how they are helping you. Clean, Friendly, Fun gym atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: My home away from home with the coolest community of people who support each other to be our strongest in all aspects of life.

Fantastic experience: Progression Fitness is a community and home for me. The Coaches are awesome and provide lots of scaling options.

Fantastic experience: After a dozen or so years of occasionally signing up at a 24 hour equipment only gym, only to walk in and realize I have no idea what to do after I walked on a treadmill for 10 minutes, a coworker started inviting me to Progression as part of their friends and family days. It was clear that this was something very different. Fast forward a few years and my husband and I are still here. Is it more expensive than the monthly 24 hour gym? Yeah - but it is an investment that has been worth it and we have decided to prioritize (and for what I get for my money, a much smarter investment than my other gym memberships). Progression is my spot for my physical and mental health. It is filled with laughs and friendships and goals and tough work and wins. I'm supported by coaches to make adjustments to fit my fitness and skill level, as well as body limitations. I like the variety of REV (longer, more endurance/cardio style) and the daily CrossFit Workout (more strength based work, traditionally). Getting to know the coaches and building friendships has helped me feel like I belong, which is something I never felt walking into other gyms. I have increased my capacity to be a good parent, spouse, friend, and to be kind to myself. I seek adventure and have had experiences I may never had. I have my coaches and workout friends at Progression to thank for that - couldn't do it without you (and definitely wouldn't have wanted to)!

Fantastic experience: Progression is the absolute best gym in Rochester, MN. The coaching and sense of community are amazing. If you are looking for CrossFit classes, personal training, or just a great place to work out with friends - I HIGHLY recommend checking out CFP.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches! Clean! Open gym space!

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest CrossFit gyms anywhere, and they offer more than just CrossFit classes. No matter what program you choose, the coaches know how to tailor things to the individual members. Highly recommend checking it out and giving it a shot.

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience at Progression and it is because of the owners, coaching staff and other members! I started off unsure if I could do Crossfit, but the coaches demonstrate and walk you through every movement and are available for individual help as needed. They want to see you succeed! Their years of expertise, advise and that they really care about each member are worth their weight in gold - and you will not find that anywhere else! Great community of members as well, I have made many friends through fitness.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable Coaching staff who have my fitness goals and individual needs always in mind. Great community feel. I always look forward to heading to the gym!

Fantastic experience: In a word...community. This place has it. The coaches are knowledgeable, they know every member by name and make an effort to connect with each person on a daily basis. The workouts are fantastic, but really it is the people (coaches and members alike) that make this place worthwhile. When I'm having a bad day, I come here and as soon as I walk through the door my spirits are lifted. I love the amount of classes that are offered because I'm always able to find something that works for my schedule. Love, love, love this gym, the coaches, and the members!!! I would give 10 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Crossfit Progression has been nothing but amazing, the coaching staff is amazing and have so much knowledge when it comes to CrossFit, weight lifting and modifications while inquired.. Crossfit Progression has become like family.. this is the community of people that i've have been looking for awhile.

Fantastic experience: Started at CFP when I was 60, after 31 years behind a desk. Ten years later I am stronger and healthier that I have been since my teenage years!

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! Great gym, great coaches that work with you no matter where you are on your fitness journey. Lots of equipment and it’s kept clean too! Love progression and so will you!

Fantastic experience: A great gym due to its coaches, facilities, equipment, and the community.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community for anyone looking for a supportive, very knowledgeable coaching staff. Everyone is welcomed in this friendly, caring environment regardless of your fitness and health goals.

Fantastic experience: route to fitness by and with people who genuinely care you as a person and not just as a membership

Fantastic experience: The coaches here are great. Have to scale? No prob. They will give you movements that will give the same stimulus but are within your wheelhouse. Lots of encouragement to get stronger and healthier for better longevity. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is seriously clean and organized, staff is very professional and knows their stuff, and the atmosphere is amazing! Want to be social? Easy with all these great people. Want to be left alone? That works here too. Just love this place!

Fantastic experience: Quite possibly the most welcoming gym in town. Judgement free, amazing coaching staff, welcoming members and lots of space so I have my own area and equipment!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: My happy place! Great community and coaches!

Fantastic experience: Julie and Nic are the best coaches. I've never joined a gym and felt comfortable being there until I started at Progression. The coaches make the work outs fun, and that makes showing up so much easier. They can modify any workout if you have limitations. I highly recommend Progression Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Progression for about 4 years, and I can't say enough good things about it. Here are my top 3: 1) The coaches are amazing! Since I've started, I've added more than 100lbs to my back squat and have become a competitive athlete. I am now a D1 NCAA diver, and I couldn't have become such a strong diver without help from the coaches. When I first joined my college team, my lift coach was blown away with my technique and overall strength, and I was the highest performing lifter on the Swimming and Diving team. Moreover, since joining Progression, I haven't had any long-term lift injuries, which goes to demonstrate the emphasis on technique and expertise of the coaches at Progression. 2) Progression is for everyone! It doesn't matter where you are when you're starting. The coaches will happily modify movements to your level of expertise/ability, including modifying workouts to accommodate for injuries. Both my parents are part of the Progression community, and we can all get a good workout even though we are very different athletes. 3) The community is the best! Every time I'm back from school, I'll make my way back to the gym. As a college student who has been remote for almost a year, I was actually a little sad to go back to school because I knew I would have to leave Progression! It doesn't matter who you are, the Progression community makes the gym a home. I absolutely love Crossfit Progression, and I highly recommend it to anybody thinking about joining a crossfit gym.

Fantastic experience: This place is what my wife and I have been looking for! We moved away from a Gym we loved in Michigan and wanted something to fill our void. We love how personable the coaches are and the time they take with their members. The coaches ask what your goals are and work with you to stay on track! We love the gym so far and see us spending a lot of our time here and growing friendships with fitness! Thank you Nic, Julie and Jeremy! You are all awesome and our interactions with you have been nothing short of spectacular!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Rochester! The coaches are amazing! Whether you are looking to get stronger, lose weight, get nutrition advice, or looking for a sense of community, it's the place to go. CrossFit Progression has made a tremendous impact on my life!

Fantastic experience: I had never stepped foot into a gym before coming to CrossFit Progression. I was very nervous and thought it would be very intimidating. It was the complete opposite. EVERYONE: coaches, other members are very friendly and helpful. The coaches know what they are doing and they specialize in individualizing the workout for every single member in each class! I am naturally shy, and at Progression it's not possible for me to be afraid to ask for whatever help or guidance I need (if they aren't already right on it!) for the best workout experience possible each and every day I attend. If you are on the fence about it - sign up. I promise it will be worth the investment into both your physical and mental health. It's one of the best decisions I've made in caring for myself.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to workout. The coaches are always so helpful and push you to become your best "fit" self! Thanks guys for everything that you do

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for individuals of all fitness levels. I love it here because the coaches are so experienced and good at what they do, safety is a priority here.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined CrossFit Progression in August after attending just 1 experimental class, and we’re extremely pleased! We were already CrossFit members prior to joining so we're familiar with all the exercises, but all levels and ages are welcome. Don’t be concerned about never having done CrossFit because the coaches plan the classes to target all levels. It’s never too late to start and learn. For me, the best part of CrossFit is the variety of exercises. Each class is different so you’ll never get bored, and there’s always something that can be improved. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know nearly all the coaches due to the different times of day I can work out, and they’re all competent, friendly and outstanding coaches. The gym is clean and has taken the proper COVID-19 precautionary measures. They keep members informed via email, text and social media, there are various class times you can attend, open gym sessions for those who want to work out on their own and meeting times available with the coaches to discuss personal goals and nutrition. There’s also a body scan machine available to all members to track progress. We’re happy to be part of the CrossFit progression community. We encourage anyone who’s looking to try something new or get fit in a great atmosphere to try it out!

Fantastic experience: Progression fitness was one of the biggest highlights in Rochester. I am so glad I joined in the short time that I had left in town. They certainly are a beast when it comes to crossfit. Nic is an incredibly energetic, motivating, knowledgeable and kind coach who goes above and beyond to help you out. Each of the personal training sessions and regular classes are a guaranteed workout! Loved all the classes from other coaches as well. Really welcoming gym who bring in a great sense of community. The energy is almost contagious. You will never have to drag your feet to go the gym again!!! :)

Fantastic experience: Made the crazy decision to do the Rev class instead of a WOD. Dumb choice! 40 straight minutes of lovely torture. I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: Always Awesome

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I joined Progression. All of the coaches are friendly & know what they’re saying when coaching you up during a workout. I’ve met a lot of awesome members during the short time I’ve been with the gym and it’s fun to show up to a workout seeing familiar faces! Don’t think twice about signing up for a membership, just do it!!!

Fantastic experience: Great crossfit gym!

Fantastic experience: I grew up around Rochester and have been a part of several different gyms. CrossFit Progression is the friendliest and most welcoming gym I've ever been a part of. The staff takes the time to get to know you and your workout goals to ensure that you will reach those goals. Friendly members, very knowledgable staff, and a guaranteed great workout!

Fantastic experience: Good place to get your daily workout done with very welcoming community.

Positive experience: Cool I guess

Fantastic experience: I have been to my fair share of Crossfit gyms and the facility and coaching staff at Crossfit Prgrossion are some of the best around. Great people and a great atmosphere. Oh and of course you will always get a great workout in when you go!

Fantastic experience: Like all great Crossfit gyms, I was welcomed like family. Programming on both days I attended was very well done. Facility and equipment are best in class. I hold gyms to a high standard and these guys meet the standard. Don't miss them if you're in town.

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin...CrossFit Progression has been showered rightfully with numerous accolades and there are a plethora of reasons. The gym is enormous and has plenty of equipment and is very clean and organized. There are plenty of classes and class types for your particular fitness goals. There are the typical CrossFit classes and Olympic lifting classes, but what I also love that is a great asset for this box is the Rev classes which are great metabolic conditioning classes without having to do a lot of high rep Olympic type lifts. The coaches at CrossFit Progression are so caring and professional about their teaching. You can easily tell that they are devoted to improving each member's health and fitness and work with your current abilities to get through each workout. They are especially concerned if you have an injury and will come up with the appropriate modification to allow you to continue to participate and get the workout results. Finally, the community of athletes at CrossFit Progression makes this box so incredible and accessible. The community's strength is its variety of different ages and athletic abilities and the common goal of "getting better together". If one can just make that first individual decision to start, then together with these exceptional coaches one can be more than they could ever imagine.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. By far the friendliest, most knowledgeable staff of any gym in town. Truly worth the investment!!

Fantastic experience: Have been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years now and ever since I joined CrossFit progression back in December I have had nothing but great, spectacular coaching and motivation from everybody in the gym!! Everyone is there for the same reason, to live well and live healthy. Best Box ever!!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a beast Crossfit gym in Rochester, MN, this is the place to go! I dropped into a few classes at Crossfit Progression while I was in Rochester for work, and the people couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. The coaches I worked with, Nic and Sara, were fantastic! They did a great job at coaching my technique, and were adept in providing alternative options/modifications with each workout when needed. The facility at Crossfit Progression is the best I've ever seen. They moved into the new location a year ago and it has tons of space, it's clean, and they even have showers. I had a great experience here and highly recommend this gym to all beginner and experienced athletes looking for exceptional fitness training.

Fantastic experience: I've been in and out of different gyms for the past 15 years, but I've never been apart of a gym like Crossfit Progression. The coaches are amazingly supportive and encouraging, and are able to give appropriate and meaningful advice to anyone from the untrained athlete to the most hardcore. Workouts are varied every day, so you won't ever be bored. Expect expert help on everything from mobility and recovery, to diet and lifting technique. Last but not least is the amazing sense of community that you'll find at CFP. Expect plenty of friendly, familiar sweaty faces cheering you on with each workout.
