Our Story
we reinvented ourselves
and would not be stopped.
The Rage Cage was born from the worst kind of adversity — and the best kind of stubbornness. When the pandemic shut down sports and stole some of the most formative years from young athletes, brothers James and Chaz Cook converted a two-car garage into a makeshift gym and refused to let their athletes give up.
What started as a spark in 2020 became a community, a methodology, and a movement. Athletes from middle school through college came to the Cage to keep their edge sharp and their dreams alive.
Today, the Cage has grown into a full training facility inside CrossFit 845 Poughkeepsie — and the fire that started it all still burns at the center of everything we do.
