RMSD is an awesome place to work out/ learn how to hold your own if you are ever in a compromising situation. The class sizes vary, as do the levels of the people you take classes with, so it really fosters a sense of comraderíe. Everyone is happy to help you master a new concept. Bridgett and the other members of the gym are encouraging and never make you feel intimidated by their abilities. Every time you complete a class, you leave feeling more competent and capable than before. As a woman, the skills learned here have made me feel strong and more confident in general.I highly recommend this gym!!! More...

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I signed up for the 6-week challenge. 17 pounds (lost) later, I am a member and enjoying every minute of it. Except the burpees.

Bridgett and her gym are AMAZING! She really knows what she's doing and is knowledgeable in every aspect of self defense and health! She has boosted my confidence tremendously and helped me get over the "I can't do it" attitude I have had for so long. She makes every single person feel welcome, comfortable and empowered whether you're a man or woman! I highly recommend her and Brittany, who is another amazing trainer, to anyone looking to change their lives both physically and mentally! Thanks for all you do girls! Keep kicking butt! More...

Our kids LOVED the self defense camp! They didn't want to leave and are begging to go back. The skills they learned, standing up to bullies, getting targeted by strangers, etc, were realistic and age appropriate, and they had a lot of fun learning how to stay safe.

Rocky Mountain Self Defense is a great place to train! The instructor, Bridgett, is very knowledgeable and makes each class new and exciting while mixing in multi-belt techniques. Each class is a combination of physical exercise and learning and practicing self defense techniques, simple yet critical things that would save your life. What would you do if someone pulled a knife or gun on you? I know exactly what I would do thanks to this program. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Fitness is as individual as the person. We ensure our group classes can be tailored to any age group, weigh, or fitness ability. No two classes will be the same in this gym, peaking the interest of the student and causing muscle confusion for faster results.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Hard work and accountability. There is no magic "pill" or secret sauce here. The only way to get the body of your dreams is to work hard both in and out of the gym. This includes taking a hard honest look at yourself and being honest about your bad habits, diet, and goals.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing the transformation in my students. Not just physically, but mentally too. Krav Maga is the best way to build self confidence, respect, and self-worth.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I trained in Krav Maga over six years in California under Master Instructor and Vanguard Krav maga creator Everst Pepper. When my husband told me we were moving to Colorado, the hardest part for me was leaving my Krav Maga gym and the family I had made there. So I became a licensee and have replicated the training environment I had in California.
Why should our clients choose you?
Our method is different than other Krav Maga gyms. There is no ego here, no attitude, and no one is better than anyone else, regardless of rank. Our students are our family and their personalities match that of mine: laid back, enthusiastic, dedicated, and ready to work hard. We have a great time every night and utilize our proven 3F system: Fun, Fit, and Fierce.
Vanguard Krav Maga
Whether you’re an experienced martial artist or a newcomer to the self defense and fitness world, VANGUARD KRAV MAGA® offers a positive and exciting workout while learning reality-based self defense. The program is designed for people of all ages, experience, and fitness levels.
Vanguard Krav Maga® (VKM) began development in 2009 with the purpose of designing a system that would truly be relevant to people here in the United States. The developers of Vanguard Krav Maga® experienced the shortcomings of other organizations and revised the curriculum to move away from sport, theory, and tradition to provide a simple and effective system that was truly tailored to modern situations in the United States.
We understand that everyone has varying physical capabilities and desires for training and that the typical approach to krav maga can place limits on people and their advancement. VANGUARD KRAV MAGA®’s trademarked MT2™ System is revolutionary in the Krav Maga, martial arts, and personal protection industry. Our training methods provide a path for people of all ages and ability levels to advance in the system and reach their full potential. Rank advancement options and guidelines in VANGUARD KRAV MAGA® are clear and defined to maintain integrity and not create a “watered-down” system.

INSANITY LIVE!
Forget everything you think you know about high-intensity workouts. Because INSANITY turns old-school interval training on its head.
If you’ve ever been to a Spin class, you know how that works. You motor along at a moderate pace for awhile – then all at once, you kick up your speed and heart rate – just for a minute or so. After that, it’s back to a lower gear, giving you plenty of time to catch your breath.
But with INSANITY, you do exactly the opposite. You work flat out in 3 to 5-minute blocks, and take breaks only long enough to gulp some air and get right back to work. It’s called Max Interval Training, because it keeps your body working at maximum capacity through your entire workout. You keep pushing your limits – so your body has to adapt. That’s how you get in such insane shape in just 60 days.
Owner and Lead Trainer, Bridgett Comer, is an Insanity Live certified instructor. The live program gives students the authentic Insanity experience just like the DVD’s but in a group setting with new moves and constant variation to keep your body challenged and you coming back for more.
THE INSANITY LIVE WORK OUT
Get ready for the most insane 50 min of your life. We start off with a warm-up and focus block to get your blood flowing and mind focused. The we follow with 8.5 min of plyometrics and speed, 4 exercises, 3 sets each. Next we do 3 sets of strength and stability, followed by agility and coordination, to work your muscles and mind. We end the class with abs and core, then a much deserved cool down. There may even be a little surprise round in there to make sure you are digging deep!
Short on time, not a problem. We also offer a 30 min Insane Strength, Abs, and Core option to get you strong and fit in less time.
