The first 2026 Member of the Month is Tom Colston, who joined RTC in July 2021. Tom was introduced to CrossFit on a dare from 2 of his sons, and then gave it a try at MTM Fitness back in 2013. “I got my butt truly kicked and was hooked after my trial period,” he says. Since joining RTC, Tom has undergone multiple surgeries, but he’s always battled back with the help and support of the coaches and the community. “Allie and the coaching staff care and are interested in helping individuals recover from injuries and get back to normal as quickly as possible,” he says. “No judgement…just a path back to participation at whatever level you are comfortable with.” Injuries aside, Tom credits the staff and community with helping him reach his fitness goals. “RTC is a non-pretentious, honest gym that provides a clean safe space for all comers to get fit. Allie provides a facility with great atmosphere, quality equipment, excellent programming, and the means to deliver her vision through a top notch staff. He notes, “The building is just an empty space without the great people that come to RTC every day. The community is friendly and supportive. There is something special about a hard workout with shared pain!”
Tom and his wife Sarah have been married for 44 years. They have 5 sons who have given them “the gift” of 15 grandchildren. Another important member of their family is a 3 year old Weimaraner named Annie. Tom owns a small oilfield business that he started in 1992. His sons work with him at the business, where they sell drill bits and supplies to the oilfield.
