Progression Fitness — Local services in Rochester

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...

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...

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...
