THE TEAM
COACH
Colin Helm
Coach Colin Helm was introduced to Crossfit in 2018 by a friend who had set up a "home gym" suitable for everything and anything. After just a couple of workouts he was ready to commit to making Crossfit a lifestyle.
In November of 2020 Colin attended the Crossfit Level 1 seminar simply as the first step into the professional world of Crossfit and coaching. By February of 2021 Colin began coaching at Tried and True. After getting married, Colin continued his journey as a full time coach and personal trainer down in Austin, Texas. As much as he loved the experience and growth, he and his wife decided it was time to move back home to start a family. With him back in the walls of Tried & True, you can always count on him to program some unique workouts, bringing new ideas paired with classic CrossFit staples to provide a one of a kind experience. Other than Crossfit and coaching Colin has a passion for most things outdoors. Backpacking, camping, fishing, or golf are just a few things he enjoys to do in his spare time.
COACH
Kahyla Huffman
Coach Kahyla Huffman started as a member of Tried and True in 2018. Kahyla quickly found a love for nutrition. She has taken a plethora of nutrition courses and holds multiple nutritionist certifications.
In 2021 Kahlya was presented with an awesome opportunity to be part of the team, both as an in house nutrition coach and a CrossFit coach. As a Nutrition Coach she guides and helps others fuel their bodies correctly for the long term vs short term “diets”. On the floor, it is obvious Kahyla has a love for coaching clients towards reaching their goals. Kahyla holds a CrossFit L2 in addition to many other CrossFit course certificates. Kahyla loves obstacle course racing and loves to give the opportunity for others to join in. She coaches a Spartan SGX Bootcamp and organizes group races for gym members to hone in the skills they have learned.
COACH
Kathy Staje
Coach Kathy Staje had been a member of Tried and True since February 2019. She entered the gym approaching age 60, overweight, and under conditioned, with very little fitness experience.
As she neared retirement she knew she wanted to help other individuals like herself. Kathy earned her CrossFit L1 and started the Tried and True Legends program, a three times weekly class geared towards the 50+ age group, in January 2022. Kathy continues to expand her knowledge on working with masters and aging athletes. In her free time she enjoys gardening, spending time with family and is active in her church.
COACH
Jenn White
Coach Jenn White first tried CrossFit when she came to a free class in the Spring of 2018. She loved the challenging workouts and that they could be scaled for all skill levels. Jenn is no stranger to coaching.
Having over 19 years of experience as a competitive cheerleading coach. Jenn earned her CrossFit L1 and began coaching in 2019. She now has her CrossFit L2 in addition to the CrossFit Kid’s Certificate. Jenn is passionate about working with young athletes to develop strength in preparation for sports and to avoid injury and finding unique scaling options to accommodate injuries/mobility limitations. When she is not coaching you can find her with her husband, Ron, and their five kids, usually at one of their kids’ sporting events or finding some peace in nature.
COACH
Ron White
Coach Ron White was introduced to CrossFit by a Jiu Jitsu coach in 2009 and found it to be quite the companion to his MMA training at the time. As time went on he became more and more interested in CrossFit and the ability it has to empower people to live a life they never thought was possible.
Ron attended his first CrossFit Seminar in October of 2010 and began coaching in March of 2011. Tried and True was started in 2013 at its original location in Muncy, PA. In 2015, Tried and True was moved to its current location. Ron continues to coach CrossFit classes and is driven by his love to watch others grow and find themselves through hard work. In 2019 Ron rekindled his love for Jiu Jitsu and began training regularly. He opened his own beginners level classes in 2022. Ron is currently a purple belt and is passionate about sharing the art of Jiu Jitsu with others and upholding the integrity of the artform. Outside of CrossFit and Jiu Jitsu he loves going on adventures with his wife and their five kids. Together they enjoy hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. When he gets the chance you can find him riding his BMX bike, and shredding a little less hard than in his younger days.
