Both of my children attend Rogue, one has been there several years(started when he was 18, now 26), and the other just a few months(she is 20). I have watched both of them grow mentally and physically, because of the tremendous support and knowledge of the staff. I have also had the opportunity to work with Rogue in the community for health and wellness events; they are so friendly and truly care about our community. Go to Rogue. Take your kids to Rogue. Support Rogue. They are an amazing group of people!

I’ve been training with Rogue combat for almost a year and a half, and the training has been top notch since day one. From wrestling and BJJ to Muay Thai every coach is an experienced and knowledgeable one, who actively competes I. Their respective styles. There’s a welcoming culture throughout the gym, with staff that really care about bettering people’s lives. Check it out I promise it won’t disappoint.

William Crawford
I have only been a member at Rogue for about 2 weeks and I have to say it has already been such a great experience. Everyone I've met has been super supportive, patient and kind. I feel more confident and am buzzing with endorphins when I leave. 10/10 recommend coming in and seeing for yourself what this gym can do for you!
