Progression Fitness

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.

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: 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: 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: I’m really enjoying the online training Progression offers. I intended to go back to my gym post-pandemic, but some circumstances there changed, so I ended up making a change. Julianne has programmed effective workouts using the equipment I have. The variety has kept me interested and the workouts have been really well-rounded. We communicate regularly about my goals and how the workouts are going, and she's always available for questions. She’s done a great job of creating workouts that address both things I want to work on and things I admittedly would probably avoid if I was creating workouts for myself. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great coaches! Clean! Open gym space!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Best gym around! The coaches are amazing, and the community is awesome. It's my happy place!

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: 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: Positive: Professionalism , Quality 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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..

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this amazing gym for 7+ 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: 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Joining Progression almost five years ago was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I only wish I would've joined sooner.

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: 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Progression Fitness is a community and home for me. The Coaches are awesome and provide lots of scaling options.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been a member at Progression Fitness for going on 10 years and it's been life-changing for me. The coaches are all top notch... well trained, knowledgeable, professional, and extremely encouraging. Progression Fitness is a safe place to grow in your fitness journey and the members and community is welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Progression Fitness provides an environment for you to succeed with your personal health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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: Positive: Professionalism , Quality 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: 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: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: The community and staff here are top notch. The workouts are guided by incredibly professional coaches who carefully tailor each movement to your skill level. If you are looking for help on goal setting, nutrition, weight loss, muscle building, or increased mobility, this is your place.

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