Our Founder
Matt Michaud
EverProven started with a small group of friends using cobbled together equipment in Matt’s garage. As the group of friends outgrew their garage EverProven moved into a charming space in The Cocheco Mills in downtown Dover, NH. Adding new coaches, new services and working with a business mentor led to an expansion of EverProven into our current facility – a warehouse space with over 10,000 feet filled with all of the best equipment!

Christian Seeber
Owner/Coach

CrossFit training was difficult, challenged physical ability, mental discipline, and it was measured by functional performance instead of muscle size. Christian began his CrossFit journey by training in his garage using the CrossFit methodology. Eventually, he met Matt, Scimone, Kate, Katie and together they founded EverProven.

Matt Trudeau
Coach
Matt discovered CrossFit in 2018; attending only the Saturday morning classes to change up his weekly routine at a global fitness gym. From only one day a week of CrossFit, he noticed significant changes in his conditioning and strength. That was enough to commit fully to the CrossFit training methods and become a member. The community has been a source of support in teaching so much about life and how to be resilient; place where everyone is accepted and supported to become their best. In his travels, Matt has trained at many CrossFit gyms and seminars alongside some of the best athletes in the world. He earned his CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certification here at EverProven! He has also attended and completed Burgener Strength Level 1 and is attending CrossFit Level 2 Certification in April! He truly enjoys coaching athletes and giving back to the community.

Karen Clark
Coach
Though Karen has been officially CrossFitting since 2012, she was actually introduced to Crossfit.com and the methodology by a high school track coach back in 2003 or 2004. After meeting and becoming friends with Matt, Katie and the Everproven crew at several competitions it was an easy decision to join the community after buying her house in Lee. Karen loves coaching any skill work, from olympic lifts to handstands, as she loves to see the moment an athlete realizes how much easier something is with a focus on technique. Outside of the gym Karen likes to test her fitness any way possible, including skiing up and down mountains, running marathons and ultras, or just bringing the dogs out for a casual hike.
