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

[@BasementBrandon]

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

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yeah, cool opportunity!

[@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.

[@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...

[@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

[@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!

[@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! 🇮🇪☘️

[@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!

[@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!

[@richbanco5794]

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

[@MichaelKory]

Looked like an awesome trip dude!

[@GarageGymReviews]

It was brother. So fun!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@zarate1om]

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

[@DaedalusCreative]

"Good" - Jocko 😂

[@GarageGymReviews]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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%

[@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!

[@jasonbrowncoaching]

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

[@GarageGymReviews]

I didn't want to!

[@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. 😂

[@jcharwood]

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

[@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

[@Dushku]

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

[@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.

[@gimmethatcake]

I got dizzy watching the camera shake

[@Bnasst]

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

[@DaCommish]

Took my CFL1 course there. Amazing facility.

[@GarageGymReviews]

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

[@davidkopatz8270]

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

[@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 🎉

[@mr_mars_vr]

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

[@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.

[@PeakBagger999]

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

[@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

[@GC-874]

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

[@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😂

[@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

[@LShizer]

Rogue is the apple of weightlifting equipment.

[@77magicbus]

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

[@martybnice]

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

[@Bearded360]

So glad Sam is on staff now 😁

[@bsmbB]

This makes me want rogue products even more

[@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!

[@Morphinity]

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

[@vladsunseducer3574]

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

[@RoryEllisMusic]

Great video Coop!

[@brainchilddesigner]

Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@justindircksen]

Jokko!! Rocks!!

[@Dirtkid98505]

I agree the rogue mono-stand is under rated

[@morganmacdonald6114]

The quick Jocko comment is great

[@GarageGymReviews]

Love that guy!

[@Tcarney1995]

“Oh yeah look at that knurling.”

[@xplus2920]

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

[@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.

[@jimmyp9105]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@mr_mars_vr]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@tomarik]

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

[@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.

[@fore4kicks]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@jorgedelgado8364]

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

[@jimmccormack8479]

That was awesome!!

[@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!!

[@davidshauck6886]

Thank you, I am going to apply

[@clutchmadness]

...You are a better man than me. I would have had to change my boxers multiple times if I was there.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@Aazarani002]

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

[@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.

[@gitpicker85]

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

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

Very cool!

[@SunnyFairtex]

You should do a review on the Versaspot dumbbell spotters

[@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...

[@Thehaunt1nghour]

Wish i had this gym in my city

[@GarageGymReviews]

Same!

[@relaxingmusicandvideos7076]

It looks like heaven 👍

[@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...

[@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?

[@myanime101]

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

[@michael.penrod]

Fringe Sport in Austin! You'll headed to my neck of the woods.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yep, just got back!

[@bmstylee]

The big question is did you go to German Village for supper one night? High quality grub.

[@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?

[@matoflynn]

So sick

[@RJ-lk5pj]

Would of made more sense to have the rogue reps included more in the video.. it would of made it a lot more interesting and the product knowledge could of strummed up more customers’ interests. No offense these guys want the face time and acclimates for the work and time invested; even if they didn’t want to be in the video.

[@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.

That showroom is basically my wet dream incarnated

[@GarageGymReviews]

Hahaha

[@vancouverwhitecaps8023]

oh yeah....heaven...

[@FREEfitnessCOACHING]

Coop very shotty camera work. Made a trip to rogue fitness you had an opportunity to get some sweet footage and you under delivered big time. Still like the channel

[@GarageGymReviews]

Always trying to improve, more specific critiques I can learn from.

[@FREEfitnessCOACHING]

@@GarageGymReviews invest in a gimble and a good tripod. You should of did a personal walk through then took the camera out and set up on a tripod and demonstrated some garage gym review skills. That is the biggest garage gym this side of the Mississippi CMON COOP

[@GarageGymReviews]

Good ideas. I have a gimble, my time there was less than 24 hours so I felt a bit rushed for getting good footage. Going to take these suggestions to Fringesport this weekend. Appreciate it!

[@FREEfitnessCOACHING]

@@GarageGymReviews they looked like they were following you around with a tight leash. I could tell you were a bit flustered

[@Pler1978]

@@GarageGymReviews you mentioned the slinger but could barely see the top part of it... Focused more on the handle

[@EnzoV1993]

I dream of winning the lotery so I can build an amazing (affordable) gym like this and build out my own brand. Sadly the only way this would every be possible.
