You don’t forget a guy like Tom Read.
Retired United States Marine, long-time UPS pilot, and life-long athlete — Tom spent his career operating under discipline, structure, and service. But when it came to training and nutrition in retirement, even this Marine realized he needed a mission. That’s when he walked through the doors of Results by Design Fitness.
“I always trained. I always ran. I always lifted. But I never really had a plan for nutrition.”
— Tom Read
And that’s where everything started to shift.
From High Mileage to High Muscle
Tom was no stranger to movement. A classic old-school grinder, he trained hard — always finishing with a run. But despite years of training, he didn’t feel like he was seeing the lean muscle and strength gains that matched his effort.
At RXD, we helped Tom do what he had never done before: focus on fueling his body — especially with protein.
Once we got him dialed into our RXD nutrition coaching, everything started to click. His metabolism responded, his muscle mass increased, and the man who had served in two of the most demanding professions in the world found a new level of performance and energy.
The Power of Protein
Tom was used to discipline. But with our guidance, he began to understand the why behind the numbers:
- Protein at every meal — especially post-workout
- Smart timing of carbs to support lean mass
- Fueling recovery to protect joint health and endurance
“I never realized how much nutrition mattered. Once I focused on protein and started eating like it mattered — I leaned out without even trying.”
— Tom Read
A New Chapter — Built, Not Broken
Now retired, Tom could have taken it easy. But instead, he committed to building a body that would serve him for the next 30 years, not just the last 30.
Tom got stronger, leaner, and sharper than ever — and a favorite face in our RXD family. Whether it’s hitting a PR, helping a fellow member with a lift, or cracking a Marine-style joke post-workout, he shows up the way he always has — with humility, strength, and consistency.
“This place gave me structure again. And I didn’t even know how much I missed that.”
— Tom Read
