Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Rochester, Minnesota

We have been allowed to train here with a training group once a week for the Air Force. The facility’s and the staff are both amazing. We appreciate the flexible staff and how they allow us to utilize the facilities to our needs much appreciation to this facility and the staff!!

Excellent facility and amenities. Throughout the day, the weight training and cardio facilities are crowded and often noisy. There is waiting to use many weight machines. In the evenings, the men's changing room has the atmosphere of a high school locker room. Perhaps, there are too many members enrolled at the RAC.

I have unresolved questions and reservations as to the integrity, the clarity, and the application of RAC's billing practices. In the course of nine moths I was consistently charged for services I was not receiving. The RAC maintained I contracted for those services and that the RAC was under no obligation to notify me that none of those services had been used by me in the nine months they continued to bill me for those services even though they would have known that in several of those months I never set foot on the place. I was refunded $2,288 for the services never used, but I remain of the impression that the RAC had hoped I wouldn't discover the error and continue to pay for services not utilized. I believe a more reputable business would not have allowed a billing error of this magnitude to continue to accrue as ongoing for nine months without at least reaching out to question why I would continue to pay for services I was never using. It was only by luck triggered by another investigation that I caught the mistake. As a result I no longer have any trust that the RAC has created billing practices and policies which are designed to serve fairly and honestly the interests of both the RAC and the patrons it serves and cannot therefore recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely amazing gym. Lots of varied equipment, indoor pool and track to get in all my cardio no matter the weather. Above all else, the classes available are worth every penny, especially if you love to dance like me.

Blown away. This is the best active center I have been in. The sheer amount of options for the family make this a special investment. The kid's area, pool, track, exercise equipment, cafe, office rooms, and more! Wow.

I come here for work and have a punch card membership. Everything about this place is fantastic. Wide variety of routes and difficulties. Gym is very accommodating to people's climbing abilities. Great customer service; Staff are never to busy to answer questions. Just a very cool and welcoming environment. I highly recommend ROCA.

This review is long, but to any parents reading this who are thinking about letting their kids climb here: there are safety concerns with this gym. I’ve been climbing indoors and outdoors for 15 years and I was formerly a climbing coach. I’ve climbed in 22 different states, 7 countries, and over 30 gyms, and I can honestly say Roca is the worst place I have ever climbed - actually, it’s tied for #1 worst with Slidell Rocks in Louisiana, which went out of business. The biggest difference between Slidell and Roca, is that the owner of Roca is one of the rudest people I have ever met in my entire life. Let’s start with Roca’s lead ropes: these ropes are in such terrible shape that I wouldn’t even feel safe using that rope to walk my dog. To any parents reading this: if I had children, I would not let them climb here based on the quality of these ropes. And to make matters worse, this gym will not allow the use of personal ropes. I strongly believe that if a gym insists on its customers using the gym’s equipment, that the equipment should be up to industry standards. Roca’s ropes are not. My belay partner is nearly twice my body weight - this is an issue that is rarely encountered by men, and men tend to not understand how serious of an issue rope burn can be when using poor quality ropes and having such a drastic difference in weight between belayer and climber, even with a GriGri. While using Roca’s rope for our belay test, I was burned by the rope on the practice fall, and again while lowering my partner later in the session. I’ve included pictures below. I’ve also included pictures of Roca’s ropes vs. our personal Mammut rope that is less than a month old - there is no comparison. If safety is the concern with personal rope use, I’d look at the statistics - bouldering is the number one source of injury while climbing indoors, closely followed by autobelays. The bouldering mats in the Roca bouldering area are incredibly stiff and FAR below industry standards, and pose a massive risk for injury (based on the quality of the ropes and mats here, I’d guess this gym is having serious financial trouble). This gym also has the most autobelays I’ve ever encountered, and autobelays are the number one cause of death in indoor climbing. Other common accidents come from ATC use, skipping clips while leading, improperly tied figure 8s, etc, but I have never encountered a gym climbing injury resulting from use of personal gym ropes. If this gym is truly so concerned about safety, they should address their bouldering mats and allowing ATC use first. I also wanted to note that I have never been spoken to as rudely as I was by the owner today, and I will gladly pass along the message about his mistreatment of customers to everyone I know in the climbing community from California to Maine. My family owns a climbing gym in a small town - I’m very familiar with dynamics within a small climbing community, and certainly if our gym had new climbers coming in with questions about unreasonable policies, we the owners would NEVER speak to someone in the tone that he used with us. Ever. Lastly, and I truly mean no offense to the setters, but it is clear the setters here lack experience. The setting is some of the worst I’ve encountered. The best thing this gym has to offer is the Kilter board. Also Sarah, Daniel, and Phil are great - aside from that, I can’t think of anything positive to say about our experience at Roca.

First time and we are smitten! Great place and friendly staff!

We had our son’s birthday party here, and had an amazing time! Brynn did an excellent job being patient but also setting expectations for our group of excited climbers. Everyone had success climbing, and we’ll be back soon!

Great place and wonderful staff. My son is doing the Rock Warrior course and loves it. I highly recommend!

I'm from out of state and have been visiting here for almost a month now. Great atmosphere, clean and tidy, and top notch equipment. If I ever have the privilege to work up here again for a travel assignment, this will be my gym of choice.

I love Anytime Fitness! What a great gym filled with great people! We opted to create a physical therapy clinic within this space because we so highly agreed with their philosophy and style of working with clients. I love the warm welcoming environment that is both clean and safe! Two thumbs way up!

I have been going to Anytime Fitness in Rochester for about 6 years. The staff here have always exceeded my expectations, and both the facilities are clean with new equipment. They have treated me like family, and I feel like I belong. Matt (owner), Trynton, Aaron, Jordan and others are warm, friendly, and I believe they truly care. I would not consider going anywhere else...

Walk in - sign up now! You won't regret it. 10 months ago I drudged my body inside, and was met with smiles and understanding. Over that time I've given myself 2 days/week and that's all it took to change my lifestyle for the better. The knowledge, compassion, and positivity of the staff keeps me coming back! Grateful for my trainer Luke; and also Aaron and Jordan! Super great staff! They made working out something I enjoy doing now. Besides the great people - yes the place is always clean, great options of equipment and weights! Way more than you would ever really need.

Most Knowledgeable trainer ever! (Aaron) All the staff here is incredibly kind and generously welcoming. It’s always clean and put together. Not overly crowded, but has all the equipment you would want! Open 24/7 which is HUGE FOR ME! Love this place and would recommend to everyone!!

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.

I have been going to Detour for the past 8 years. Originally started when as a very unfit individual and through dedication and consistency I became a very fit human. The owner and coaching staff have always been first class people who are encouraging, helpful, knowledgeable and able to meet me where I am on whatever day I come in. I have participated in many different training programs there’s multiple options that everyone can find success in. The social aspect of the gym is always great too as there are many friendships to be had, people to meet of many walks of life, and the parties Matt throws are pretty epic.

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. You don’t need the fanciest equipment or high tech latest things…this gym has everything you need and the biggest part is that it’s so welcoming!

If you are looking for a gym that will motivate you and welcome you to a great community, Detour Athletics is your gym! I joined Detour a year ago. Detour offers different classes for different levels of fitness and the coaches will help modify a movement to fit your needs. Detour also offers women's only classes! The coaches are well trained, supportive and motivating! I am happy to be a part of Detour and the BUILT classes!

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.
