Initially, Rogue only sold other manufacturers' equipment through its website so that everything could be found and purchased in one spot, but there were still issues with customers having to deal with multiple manufacturers and their own shipping fees and schedules.[8][9] Rogue began warehousing the equipment and ultimately building it themselves.[8] The company grew into a {{convert|5000|sqfoot|m2}} facility in Columbus that was next to the CrossFit box that Henniger also owned. Rogue began offering more products and also started manufacturing more of them.[1][10] {{Quote box|quote = We started as a garage gym in the CrossFit community. Rogue began by selling jump ropes and boxes out of a small space. We were at the 2008 CrossFit Games and it was there when we knew how we wanted to contribute to the CrossFit Community. We've done so ever since. CrossFit was and is crucial to Rogue Fitness's success. |author = Web Smith |source = [10] |width = 15% |align = left }} Rogue Europe launched in Finland in January 2014 with Juha Puonti and 2009 CrossFit Games male champion Mikko Salo.[8] TodayRogue now operates out of a {{convert|175000|sqfoot|m2}} manufacturing facility[8] and is one of the primary suppliers for equipment for CrossFit boxes around the world.[8][10][5] Rogue has been building and providing all the equipment to the CrossFit Games and regional events since 2010. Fifteen semi-trucks of equipment were needed to supply the 2013 CrossFit Games at the StubHub Center in Carson, California,[8] up from nine trucks used to supply the 2011 CrossFit Games.[11] They also build equipment for Strongman, Powerlifting, and Olympic weightlifting.[10] The company sponsors numerous CrossFit athletes around the world, such as Rich Froning Jr., Ben Smith, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, Mat Fraser, Katrín Davíðsdóttir, and Jason Khalipa.[10][12] One of the first sponsored athletes was Henniger's future wife and 2008 CrossFit Games female champion, Caity Matter Henniger.[9] Rogue also sponsors Strongman athletes such as Brian Shaw and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.[12] Rogue is currently building a {{convert|600000|sqfoot|m2}} structure on {{convert|30|acre|lk=on}} of the former Timken Company property[5] located on the southwest corner of East Fifth and Cleveland avenues in Columbus.[13] The new building will consolidate their administrative, manufacturing, distribution, and retail operations.[6] It will also include a fitness center and showroom.[14] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|title=FACT SHEET JUNE 2015 COULTER VENTURES, LLC DBA ROGUE FITNESS|date=13 May 2015|pages=1–3|url=https://columbus.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=3765930&GUID=051ED472-CCBC-4E2E-BED4-46F032D167D1|publisher=Rogue Fitness|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Koenig|first1=John|title=Talking With Bill Henniger of Rogue Fitness|url=http://johnkoenig.squarespace.com/journal/2013/1/10/talking-with-bill-henniger-of-rogue-fitness.html|publisher=johnkoenig.squarespace.com|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Company Overview of Coulter Ventures, LLC|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=173572573|website=Bloomberg|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 4. ^https://www.linkedin.com/company/rogue-fitness 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=RODIO|first1=MICHAEL|title=FIT FIX: THE ROCK IS SERIOUSLY BULKING UP FOR 'FAST 8'|url=http://www.mensfitness.com/life/entertainment/fit-fix-rock-seriously-bulking-fast-8|accessdate=19 August 2016|publisher=Men's Fitness|date=26 April 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Warren|first1=Brent|title=Massive Rogue Fitness Facility Starting to Take Shape in Milo-Grogan|url=http://www.columbusunderground.com/rogue-fitness-construction-bw1|publisher=Columbus Underground|accessdate=27 July 2016|date=23 April 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=2015 CrossFit Liftoff, Powered by Rogue, Awards $100,000 to Olympic Weightlifters and CrossFit Athletes|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151120006019/en/2015-CrossFit-Liftoff-Powered-Rogue-Awards-100000|accessdate=27 July 2016|publisher=Business Wire|date=20 November 2015}} 8. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|title=The Equipment Outlaw|url=http://www.theboxmag.com/article/the-equipment-outlaw-9712|accessdate=27 July 2016|publisher=The Box|date=28 July 2014}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Koenig|first1=John|title=ON HER TERMS: CAITY MATTER HENNIGER|url=http://games.crossfit.com/article/her-terms-caity-matter-henniger|accessdate=27 July 2016|publisher=CrossFit|date=12 March 2012}} 10. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|last1=Huntley|first1=Tim|title=Rogue Fitness: A Start-up Success Story|url=http://myathleticlife.com/2012/03/rogue-fitness-start-up-success-story/|publisher=myathleticlife.com|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 11. ^{{cite news|last1=CERIZO|first1=KEHAULANI|title=Willpower & work|url=http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/552181/Willpower---work.html?nav=12|accessdate=19 August 2016|publisher=The Maui News|date=7 August 2011}} 12. ^1 {{cite web|title=Rogue Athletes|url=http://www.roguefitness.com/athletes|publisher=Rogue Fitness|accessdate=27 July 2016}} 13. ^{{cite news|last1=Hall|first1=Brian R.|title=Fitness equipment provider up for city incentives for $36M project|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2015/06/01/fitness-equipment-provider-up-for-city-incentives.html|accessdate=27 July 2016|publisher=Columbus Business First|date=1 June 2015}} 14. ^{{cite web|last1=Sullivan|first1=Lucas|title=Coleman closing in on tenant for Timken site|url=http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/02/19/mayor-closing-in-on-timken-tenant.html|accessdate=27 July 2016|work=The Columbus Dispatch|date=19 February 2015}} External links
