Our Why. Your Why.

If you’re looking for a place where you’re seen, supported, and challenged—this is it. We built this studio for you.

Rocky Mountain Sports Club was born from a powerful truth: sustainable health isn’t about trends—it’s about consistency, community, and care.

We build strength that lasts, both inside and out.

Our why is at the heart of everything we do:

Love yourself. Start from a place of acceptance—not shame. Fitness should be a form of care, not punishment. Whether you’re rebuilding, maintaining, or pushing limits, we’re here to help you move forward without wasting time with stagnation or judgment.

Support others. Community is essential to long-term health. We rise when we lift each other up.

Do the work. No shortcuts. We believe in doing the work—quietly, consistently, and with purpose. But it has to be your work. Not someone else’s routine, not a comparison game. It’s about showing up for yourself, listening to what your body needs, and doing the kind of work that builds real strength over time. That’s where the transformation happens.

When you’re ready, we’re ready to walk with you.

Our methodology is based on 3 core principles

Prepare.

Calm the mind, engage the body. Focus on the intricacies of balance and strength both physically and mentally.

Advance.

Use your solid foundation to extend your boundaries, creating opportunities for advancement and growth.

Restore.

Most often overlooked, promoting the practices of sleep, rest, recovery, community, and connection.

 

These foundational, overlapping disciplines work together to create a path of achievement, sustainability, and longevity.

As lifelong athletes, martial artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and parents of athletic kids, Tim and Nina Sloan have had many a concerned conversation in recent years about a trending disconnect in our culture's approach to achievement in athleticism.

They were noticing current pressures to succeed were usurping the necessary, foundational pillars that support physical and mental wellness… creating pivotal, longer term consequences.

In early 2022, they read an article about why the Norwegians' radically different approach to sport actually creates better athletes, hitting all the points on things they valued while still promoting the athlete in everyone. It spoke straight to their heart, and inevitably put Rocky Mountain Sports Club on the map, opening their first location in Broomfield, CO on August 24th, 2022.

Tim Sloan grew up in Appalachia along the Ohio River in the small town of Pomeroy. He is a a true Ohio native, as his family settled before the United States sought its own independence. He has a BBA from Ohio University and an MBA from George Washington University and is a combat veteran, serving many years and tours for the United States Army. Tim has been a martial art practitioner for almost a decade, achieving the rank of 1st Degree in Tang Soo Do, and 1st and 2nd Degree in Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan. He is an medalist in forms and power breaking at the US Open International Taekwondo Hanmadang. He currently teaches as a globally certified Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan instructor at Rocky Mountain Martial Arts - Front Range. His training philosophy is inspired by his many years of military service (and the injuries that resulted), articulated best in the book, “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.. Tim trains for healing, continued athleticism, and longevity. Tim received his YT-200 yoga instructor certification in 2024 and is a Certified Warriors at Ease instructor.

Born in Virginia, and moving soon after, Nina Sloan grew up in the Mountains of Colorado just outside Conifer. She holds a BA in English from Westmont College and has a passion for solid communication strategies. She has an even greater passion for programs that promote health and wellness in kids, and has spent much of her life volunteering in that capacity. She achieved the rank of 1st Degree in Tang Soo Do, and 1st and 2nd Degree in Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan. She is also a medalist in forms and power breaking at the US Open International Taekwondo Hanmadang. Nina received her YT-200 yoga certification in 2023. Her training philosophy is inspired by connectedness, energy, balance and being grounded. She appreciates the athlete in everyone.

The Sloans have been collaborating alongside an amazing Board of Directors, operating Rocky Mountain Martial Arts - Front Range, a non-profit martial arts organization in Broomfield, for the past 5 years as a way to give back to the community.
