Inside Rogue Australia. Our Strength and Conditioning Partner
The 98 HQ team headed to the Rogue Australia warehouse to spend time with the partner behind the 98 Games competition floor, get a look at the equipment heading our way, and put The Final to the test one more time before competition day.
For the second year running, Rogue Australia is back as the official Strength & Conditioning Partner of the 98 Games. With less than two weeks until competition day, we headed to the Rogue Australia warehouse - to see how the equipment is being prepared, to spend time with a partner we value highly, and to get one more run at The Final before our athletes do.
Rogue builds equipment trusted by the world's strongest athletes. Their foundation is craftsmanship, care, and performance with purpose. We hold our gym and our competition to a standard that sits above what the industry expects - not because it's easy, but because it's the right way to operate.
That alignment didn't start with the 98 Games. Rogue equipment fits out our gyms, it's what our members train on every day. So when it came to selecting a Strength & Conditioning Partner for the competition, the relationship was already there. Built over time, and built on trust.
That's why this partnership exists. That's why it's in its second year.
We also got the chance to put the equipment through its paces firsthand, running ‘The Final’ event 6 of the upcoming April Pairs 98 Games, on the Echo Bikes and sleds that will feature in the competition itself. The team clocked finish times well under the cap.
It's one thing to see equipment of this calibre up close. It's another to feel what it's capable of under genuine effort. If there was any doubt about the quality of what our athletes will be competing on, there isn't anymore. We can't wait to see what the show teams put on in just under two weeks

98 Games, April 2026.
400 competitors walked into the Royal Hall of Industries on Saturday and left having been part of something designed to feel bigger than just another fitness competition. The second edition of the 98 Games was built around pairs - two athletes, a single goal, every effort making a difference - and what unfolded across the day made a strong case that this format brings out the best in people.
