Touring Rogue Fitness' Insane 600K SQ FT Headquarters | Behind the Iron

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

Coop, you're not a "relative nobody". You represent the garage gym market that they'd like a bigger piece of. You're an opportunity for them. I'm sure they watch your review videos to see fairly in depth opinions about their products.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Thanks brother, I appreciate the kind words. Started this whole thing over 5 years ago and have had relatively no audience for most of that. Still getting used to having more of an influence and want to use it in the right way.

[@mr.perfectcell3843]

Yes Coop! you’re a pretty cool dood and us garage gym owners are glad to have you do what you do. Keep up the awesome work bud!

[@GarageGymReviews]

Thank you, truly appreciate it.

[@BasementBrandon]

This was really cool. Glad to see they’re embracing the home gym crowd.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yeah, cool opportunity!

[@baronmiller2452]

Because Rogue has bay doors, it counts as a garage gym review.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Exactly

[@WEIGHTroomKILLA]

Coop, i've seen a few of your videos and they're great and informative. However i think you need to invest in a camera stabilizer/gimbal so they videos aren't so choppy when you walk. It will make the videos much smoother and crips. Just a tip, continue making great content!

[@MinnesotaMuscle]

Yes, it kind of hurt to watch 😒

[@superpudd1]

This is actually just Coop's other garage, lol.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Don't tell my Wife...

[@minecraftlord568]

Garage Gym Reviews lol

[@scorer3418]

This guy!!!!

[@muffemod]

It's obvious Coop is on the take.

[@mplussant]

You help sell this stuff and are important to Rogue and to us...we count on your honest, informed opinion to make correct choices...love your channel...keep it coming...wish you were reporting this stuff 50 years ago when it would have been extremely useful to me, but still love watching/using it now...thanks so much...

[@johnchristian3387]

Coop, I loved this. I’m a huge fan of Rogue and of Garage Gym Reviews. Keep up all the great work!

[@GarageGymReviews]

Thank you!

[@raymondsanders225]

I have never actually commented on a video of any kind, but man this one was great! I have been watching your videos since the onset of COVID and started digging into your earlier posts. It is cool to see you going through ROGUE facility as much as a fan as the rest of us would have been

[@whiskey_zulu]

Coop, look forward to your videos. Thanks for dedicating your time, resources, and passion with the rest of us garage gym enthusiasts.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Definitely, you guys are my people!

[@brentb9703]

Coop, congrats to you, your team and especially your wife/family. You continue to surpass what any of us would/could/should expect... Keep up the great work!!

[@MichaelKory]

Looked like an awesome trip dude!

[@GarageGymReviews]

It was brother. So fun!

[@Ribeiro178]

That was awesome! Reminded me of my trip to Rogues HQ last year at the Arnold. Really cool they took you behind the scenes. Can’t wait for more tours of these other companies

[@RichardDonelan]

Legend Coop! You’re humility is on a par with your knowledge which is formidable. Thanks so much for all the effort that you and your team put into your channel as I’ve been learning so much from you guys!! Best wishes from Ireland man - look me up if you are ever venturing across the Atlantic. Beers on me man! 🇮🇪☘️

[@diegocerdas8183]

I'm from Costa Rica, so I can't buy any of equipment like that, so I watch your videos for fun and because it is cheaper to dream lol thank you coop! I'm addicted to your videos and all the way from Costa Rica: Never change! your videos are the best!!!!

[@GarageGymReviews]

Thanks brother!

[@dannyroberto9382]

Freakin awesome man.......I felt your excitement and ahhh.....I too will go there one day, it’s one of my bucket list!......thanks for sharing this man.......and your definitely not just anybody, u have no idea how much you’ve done for all of us........good job man!

[@shanedm3396]

This was a great vicarious tour of the Rogue facilities. Thanks so much. Makes me proud to be a Rogue Fanboy!

[@GarageGymReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@richbanco5794]

Place is amazing. I've been there with my son's picking up a Row kettlebell and just gigantic place.

[@zarate1om]

That “GOOD” insert was by far the funniest thing I’ve seen on KZbin in a while, if you know you know😂😂

[@Dushku]

This was an amazing video! Made me proud that my home gym is all Rogue.

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

this video made me glad i went with rogue for my rack. i could have gotten cheaper but this company backs their products and their customers 1000%

[@DaedalusCreative]

"Good" - Jocko 😂

[@GarageGymReviews]

Jocko's the man! Hope to meet him someday.

[@ryancraft903]

I watch and anticipate every new video you put out. I’m building up my garage gym and I love the advice and reviews I can get from you before I spend my money. Waiting for your review of Titan’s new decline bench. I need a different bench and I’m eagerly waiting...no pressure though Coop. 😂

[@kimrasmussen8594]

Great video! I wish Rogue Europe didn't have such a limited range on their site, the US site has alot of stuff i would like to buy.

[@gimmethatcake]

I got dizzy watching the camera shake

[@deomeslives]

This place is awesome!! Was just there 2 weeks ago, decided to drive 6 hrs to pick up and check out the facility!! Worth the trip!! Plus added more equipment to MY GARAGEMAHAL GYM!! 🤘💪😂

[@Fitforacting]

This must have been a dream come true! I felt like a kid in a candy store when I went to visit Ironmaster Hq on my bday (Dec 4) congrats man 🎉

[@DaBrute]

I'd love to see a video on Fringe Sport. I bought a few pieces from there and it seems like a pretty good company.

[@jcharwood]

Two years later still great content! Just wish we were back to being able to get equipment that fast.

[@PeakBagger999]

Thanks for showing us around Rogue HQ, Coop. Looking forward to making the trip out there, as well.

[@mr_mars_vr]

Also second comment, I base my purchasing decisions on how impressed/in awe Coop is by a product. Does not disappoint.

[@thetruemorg]

2 hours no distractions from a CEO of that big of a company. Damn no joke kind of tour

[@GarageGymReviews]

I agree. I told him it meant a lot to me and understood that didn't always happen.

[@Bnasst]

i miss living in columbus. Used to just drive over there and buy what i needed!

[@jasonbrowncoaching]

Holy shit man that place is insane! I don't think I'd ever leave!

[@GarageGymReviews]

I didn't want to!

[@sbsb7845]

Cool Place, ROGUE should start making The Seal Row Bench, and maybe the Viking Press for power rack which you can place it on a J'hooks.. ( The Land mine Viking press sucks) ... Plate Loaded LEVER Lat Pull Down, which can double up as a Viking press on the other side AND Side Lateral Raise -power rack attachment -I want that

[@martybnice]

Just found this channel! This is such a great informative review channel: Thanks bud for all your free content! Loving it

[@GC-874]

Awesome company and video! I just bought an SML-2C and a C70 bar. Pure quality.

[@davidkopatz8270]

I was thinking kid in a candy store right before you said it! What an Awesome opportunity.

[@alexpro711]

Just failed no nut November :/

[@GarageGymReviews]

Hahahahaha

[@barbellcrazy4852]

You are not alone, my friend. You are not alone. 🥺😖😭😭😨😢

[@pentapandamusic]

At least you had fun

[@Morphinity]

Great video! I loved what you said at the end, thought it was really prescient.

[@DaCommish]

Took my CFL1 course there. Amazing facility.

[@GarageGymReviews]

They actually had chairs setup for another one. Supposedly have them like every weekend.

[@brainchilddesigner]

Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattnking]

Wow was really excited for this one but came away disappointed. Between Amik and Bill, not even a couple questions/interview?! Kinda lame to simply mention how much FaceTime you got with them only to not air any of it.

[@PeakBagger999]

Matt King It was unfortunate he wasn’t allowed to record their interviews, but you have to respect their concerns for privacy and to prevent leaking proprietary information.

[@TheKurtlocker]

I was fortunate to be stationed less than an hour away from Rogue for 7 years....most of my garage gym is Rogue. No regrets on any of their products that I own. Coop, you made me miss going to Rogue to just see things! I know that look on your face as you walked in. You said it best, kid in a candy shop. Excellent video! Keep up the great work

[@GarageGymReviews]

I would be there everyday if I lived close, probably best I don't. Thanks for the kind words!

[@jimmyp9105]

4:03 that moment when you realize you can't have your coffee when you need it.

[@LShizer]

Rogue is the apple of weightlifting equipment.

[@greggcoleman7768]

I haven't been to the new location yet. I was thinking it was like Christmas came early right before you said kid in a candy store.

[@johnhenderson6840]

This guy is a mouth breather

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yes, broken my nose 4 times. Part of it.

[@johnhenderson6840]

Garage Gym Reviews I’m just playing man! Good videos😂

[@RoryEllisMusic]

Great video Coop!

[@manishsboricha]

Started getting a headache because the video was so unstable and choppy! Would have loved to see a "professional video" of the Rogue HO!

[@xplus2920]

You put out great content. Thanks for the tour. Review that custom bar once it arrives.

[@ShawntreezyBreezy]

When Coop was his own cameraman LOL, also just saw your Titan tour so had to check this again to compare. Rouge years ago still killing Titan of today

[@carpenj275]

Are those "DumbBell Holders" available for the Monster Lite series? If not any idea when? I need them, thank you for all you do!

[@77magicbus]

Great work. Very interesting. Fitness is becoming a big thing in America.

[@georgeg.3853]

Bringing back American manufacturing in the Mid-West with top quality gear for a fair price. Awesome company and great American success story.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Agreed, they're doing some special things.

[@berzerkfury1459]

Lol fair price

[@georgeg.3853]

@Brendan I've purchased gear from Rage Fitness, Xtraining, Titan Fitness and many others. In terms of product quality, on time delivery, and customer services, none of these other companies are in the same league as Rogue. Happy to pay more for a better overall experience.

[@bsmbB]

This makes me want rogue products even more

[@Aazarani002]

Any more info on that all metal Rogue prototype dumbbell? Was that ever released?

[@gpc15990]

Coop will you please address if the rogue and Sorinex Adjustable Jammer Arms are cross compatible when you compare them? You sold be on the base camp but I’m guessing that the rogue jammers are a little better from this video. If so I would like to put rogue jammers on the base camp. However, I know the side hole pattern is different on the monster rack from the base camp (they are offset not even with the front). I can’t wait for this review! Thanks for the awesome videos!! Keep it up!!

[@fore4kicks]

Love it! What a cool video - maybe a gimbal though?

[@MrWendellsowersiii]

I feel like the Spud Inc version is fine if you use bands to stabilize the weight to keep it from swinging. I'd imagine Rogue could probably make a better one regardless though.

[@Bearded360]

So glad Sam is on staff now 😁

[@tomarik]

It's so beautiful. I hope they actually use it.

[@jimmccormack8479]

That was awesome!!

[@mr_mars_vr]

Rogue: "Really hope he likes the facility." Coop: "Really hope they like the video." Me: "oooo shiny"

[@DavidMichaelToole]

Does anyone know if rogue sells their non customized bars in the retail store? In other words if I make the trip out can I get one there and check it out at the counter?

[@j.a.6866]

Do all rogue racks have to be bolted down? I don’t ever intended on having over 500lbs on the rack. Still need to be bolted?

[@gitpicker85]

Curious as to why you think the Spud pulley system is bad?

[@utwarreng]

Wish I had known you would be in town for a tour; we live five minutes from Rogue HQ! Would’ve loved to have a beer and show you our humble garage setup

[@morganmacdonald6114]

The quick Jocko comment is great

[@GarageGymReviews]

Love that guy!

[@Pler1978]

Can't wait till for the slinger. Curious what kind of price range for something like that.

[@GarageGymReviews]

I'm excited for it too!

[@Pler1978]

@@GarageGymReviews any idea when it might come out? Sounds like it might get delayed for awhile...

[@Tcarney1995]

“Oh yeah look at that knurling.”

[@Asymmetrical.athlete_]

Great video man! Spud might get pissed lol but an amazing tour

[@GarageGymReviews]

Haha I hate that lat pulldown. Yeah, it's been the best option up to this point, but it's still so flawed.

[@Pler1978]

It's such a half ass setup. Not worth... Better to just use bands for pushdowns etc...

[@Asymmetrical.athlete_]

martyjanderson That’s not true...I have one. Way better than just bands

[@vishalseth9648]

Hi.. can you please tell me the name of the magnetic collars in the video?? Thank you

[@gilbertoalmonte4990]

Hi Coop..I am from Curacao Island Want to start a new gym and I need your help to tell me witch brand is better for commercial use...

[@justindircksen]

Jokko!! Rocks!!

[@robr7200]

Was just thinking of how awesome it must be to work at Rogue so I looked them up on Glassdoor. They have a 2 star rating out of 5 from 70 former/current employees. A lot of unhappy employees at Rogue, very disappointing to read some of their issues.

[@mizzo011]

Coop, please tell those product guys over at ROGUE to make some flip down safeties for the Monster-lite (RML) rack. Their long pin pipe safeties for the RML-490 are the most unusable pieces of equipment they make. They also did not account for the loss of 2 inches of clearance went they went to the 3x3 tubing..clink! I might sell my RML-490 for an R-3 before they get around to making any changes.

[@jorgedelgado8364]

its funny seeing this because I live near it that I see it at least once a week.

[@vladsunseducer3574]

Holy fuck. That jocko willink part made me spit my coffee all over thee place. Hysterical

[@FREEfitnessCOACHING]

I would of loved to see that trolly in action. And the retail shop in more depth maybe some of their clothing you could of gave some feed back on quality of material

[@JoseRodriguez-bw2ww]

Patiently waiting for the Titan SSB 2.0 review...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@dustinmcd91]

Jose Rodriguez I second this. From his IG account though it looks good to go

[@GarageGymReviews]

Here's my review before the thorough breakdown, it's the best budget option available. I'd honestly have a hard time recommending the EliteFTS SS Yoke over it they're that close.

[@dustinmcd91]

Garage Gym Reviews looks like I know what I’m getting for Christmas. They’ll be back in stock 12/10 btw

[@_marcopalomo]

How much is the Titan Ssb?

[@dustinmcd91]

Marco P like $195 but was on sale for $175 or something close.

[@Dirtkid98505]

I agree the rogue mono-stand is under rated

[@frenchfry271]

Would have been cool if we got to see more of the gym while you were walking around and not so much of the time focused on your face. there's so much cool stuff that I think the video might have benefited from a more setup shot rather than shaky vlogging style. I understand if that was requested by the people at rogue, obviously.

[@Just_Me]

I agree. I was really interested in the 9 bar holder for the specialty bars and got lucky that I could freeze the screen long enough to see it. Would have liked to see more of the Slinger too.

[@corybrown8111]

Are those magnetic collars available for purchase anywhere??

[@GarageGymReviews]

Not yet!

[@corybrown8111]

Garage Gym Reviews ah bummer, thanks!

[@SunnyFairtex]

You should do a review on the Versaspot dumbbell spotters

[@menhajahmed8262]

Do you have any recommendations on where to purchase gym equipment in the UK?

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

Very cool!

[@myanime101]

coop is like I wonder if I can fit some of this stuff in the garage 🤔

[@rickmcguffey9881]

I enjoyed this video... super cool to see the Rogue HQ... would've have liked to see the manufacturing space but... I understand. :) The only critique I'd offer is that next time, maybe spend more time with the camera facing the equipment and less focused on you :)

[@GarageGymReviews]

Appreciate the input, always trying to improve!

[@TheRyanMK]

Coop. I'm starting my home gym. Well have been adding to it. What's the best air bike for the money?

Rogue echo for sure!!!

[@jeremynates7593]

Can you expand your thoughts on Spud Inc pulley system? Was planning to purchase soon....

[@Pler1978]

Lots of reviews on youtube . Janky half assed setup.

[@PeakBagger999]

It’s decent for the money, but definitely looking forward to the Slinger when it comes out.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Where should I tour next? 🤔

[@irishvikingbear9690]

If you're going to manufacturers then sorinex and elitefts. I'd like to see tours of college and pro weight rooms. Maybe shorter "cribs" style tours of pro athletes would be cool too.

[@shawn8106]

Sorinex

[@johnnyshitface7585]

Man I dunno if titan has anything like that but I would love to see. BTW congrats on the opportunity you earned. Been a sub for a long time and the show has come a long way.

[@DaedalusCreative]

[@GarageGymReviews]

That's a great idea Sean!

Did you get short or long arms for the rogue lever arms?

Long arms.
