Rogers Athletic traces its roots to the Great Depression, when shoe cobbler Orley Rogers repaired damaged football equipment for budget-strapped coaches in Michigan. The manufacturing story began in 1968, when Detroit Lions head coach Joe Schmidt asked for help developing a new dummy for a heads-up blocking scheme. From there, Rogers moved from service into manufacturing, first with dummies and sleds, then a broader family of football, strength and athletic training products. Its mission and ethos are grounded in coaches, practice and game-day readiness: champions are made long before games begin. Rogers prides itself on safety, dependability, functionality, proper technique, and equipment trusted by youth, high school, college and professional programmes.

Pendulum was created with sports athlete in mind. Since the 1930’s, Roger’s background has been based in supporting the sport of American football. Their strength training machines are designed to provide optimal stimulation while preserving the joints of an already stressed high-level athlete. A focus on biomechanics and safe operation coupled with unparalleled quality and durability.
