After a seemingly sparse week, everyone is back and attacking the Boot Camp Workouts! It was great to see so many people back from their vacations and stepping up the intensity. Pictures speak for themselves…so here you go (don’t mind the chalk on the camera lens):
Learning the Turkish Get Up
Garrett was making sweat angels and in the process tie-dyed one of our kettlebells
Look forward to more Russian Kettlebell Classes in the near future. We will have Columbus juggling kettlebells by Christmas.
J has been with us since the doors opened and has been putting in at least 3 days a week. His improvements are amazing everyone! J has a great attitude and a willingness to learn. Everyone wish him luck in his pursuit to be a collegiate track star!
J’s mom came in to join him for a workout, we were impressed. Keep up the good work J.
Rogue Crew

We want to know what time is best to hold the Saturday classes as the football season approaches. I was thinking 930AM but in true Rogue fashion we will leave it up to a majority vote. We were able to calm the humidity this week by purchasing a humongous fan but I certain many of you would like to knock it out early in the morning. For the next month the Saturday workouts will be open to the public and we may be going on a few trips to parks as well. We are planning a Rogue 5K on in September and no it won’t be just running. Expect the unexpected!
This is a video of one of our group workouts at Franklin Park in Bexley. Since this video we have certified Eric as a CrossFit trainer and Troy & I are now Russian Kettlebell instructors. For those of you that have come in, the movements look much different now. We will be going to a park in September for a Rogue 5K that will be pretty nuts, so look forward to the details as we put it together.
Many of the people you see in the video are members at Rogue now, the improvements they have made are astonishing. Most noteably, Brian is a machine now after his fundamentals training.
Come in and experience the most unique training in the Columbus area!
Last night we had a tough group in that got an equally tough workout! We talk a lot about how our workouts can be scaled to any individual’s fitness level. One only needs to come to our boot camp sessions to see the wide spread of ages, backgrounds and fitness levels doing essentially the same workout. When we talk about scaling, it is usually in the context of making it easier…well this crew got a taste of an “up-scaled” workout! We call our most fit individuals “Firebreathers” since they can take anything we throw at them. We have very high standards in order to attain that title. Not one of these athletes came to us from another training program. We forged them ourselves using our training methods and their dedication and work ethic. Anyone can reach Firebreather status, just remember, you get what you put in!
It was a bit muggy this morning in the facility and after some grimaces from Mary, I caved and bought a wind tunnel fan.
Just don’t stand in front of it, you might get blown over. Enjoy
Disclaimer, we will never ask you to perform this exercise but it was fun messing around with it!
Ryan performing the Rogue kettlebell “Tater”, you are probably wondering what a “Tater” is. We spent countless hours honing our skills and now you will have to come in and find out. No it is not what you get when you supersize your cheeseburger order.
Ryan Garn visited to learn some power ropes. Here is the after picture!
Nice work, better get back into your workouts! Thanks for coming down to see our new place.
Tonya is headed to Army Air Assault school on Sunday at 7AM and came in to learn a little more about ropes prior to arriving at Ft Campbell. This Army ROTC cadet will be exiting an helicopter within a week.
We figured she might need to learn some box jumps as well, Good luck Tonya!

Pat Fleming with Dick Marcinko “Rogue Warrior”, Pat won $20 for the face he was making. Pat said, “He didn’t notice or he would have killed me!”
Pat is a firefighter in Perrysburg, OH who is pushing hard to get all of the guys to train with CrossFit methods. He has all kinds of ingenious creations in their basement from a rope climb to a softball pullup apparatus. If you are wondering how to make one, screw a couple of i-bolts into softballs and hang them.
We look forward to helping Pat get the PFD going. I think there may be a Rogue Fitness visit to the PFD in the very near future.
Nice Work Pat!
