Histori
Rogue originally started in 2007 in Toledo, Ohio by Bill Henniger when he had trouble finding the equipment needed for his new garage gym, a CrossFit affiliate. Initially, Rogue only sells other plant equipment through its website so that everything can be found and purchased in one place, but there are still problems with customers who have to deal with many manufacturers and their own shipping costs and schedules. Rogue began to move the equipment and eventually built it himself.
The company evolved into a 5,000 square foot (460 m) facility in Columbus next to the Huffiger CrossFit box. Rogue began to offer more products and also started producing more of them.
Rogue Europe was launched in Finland in January 2014 with Juha Puonti and men's champion CrossFit Games 2009 Mikko Salo.
