February Athlete of the Month: Skylar Evans

What our coaches have to say about our athlete of the month:

A lot of time we think about growth as getting stronger and faster and more fit, but sometimes the most growth is mental. Sky has been around CrossFit for a long time, and is an incredible athlete…but after a few lingering injuries she was really having a tough time getting into classes and finding ways to work out and feel good while also healing those injuries.

Through a goal setting session, conversations with coaches and athletes, and just some old fashioned hard work, she found a way to get through it. And In that process she became such a smarter athlete. Learning how to scale, listening to her body, and modifying what she needed to in order to get the best workout for herself that day. CrossFit is here for us in all phases of life and Sky grew through a tough one! This makes Sky the perfect embodiment of our core value of Growth, making her the perfect Athlete of the Month for February.

When did you join EverProven CrossFit and what brought you here?

July 2025. I was yearning for the structure and community after having taken a year off to try other forms of exercise. I have been a consistent CrossFitter since 2013 and a year away validated that this is the space I belong.

What do you like best about being an EverProven athlete?

It’s tough to say between the programing, the community, and the clear dedication of the coaches. Although they are all a close tie, the community tends to stand out the most. There hasn’t been a single day in the gym I haven’t received a warm welcome, smile, or word of encouragement by SOMEONE.

Can you share a specific health improvement or positive change in your life that you attribute to EverProven?

The emotional security and confidence that there are people who, though I have known for only a short period of time, would have my back if there was ever anything I needed. I consider this a significant benefit to my quality of life and it’s absolutely because of EverProven.

What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant to become an EverProven athlete?

Hesitation tends to be a symptom of preconditioned expectations and sometimes overwhelm. I would first validate their hesitation, then invite them to set aside their expectations just enough to step into a free “bring-a-friend” class. I’d shower them with ease that everyone here was a beginner at some point and that the hour class we allow ourselves each day gets to be as serious and intense or joyful and gentle as we choose. Like life, it is whatever we decide.

When you aren’t at the gym what is your favorite thing to do?

I am and always have been an artist. Outside the gym I am joyfully consumed by my snail mail art club, The Prints & Purpose Society. I create and send custom surprise art paired with a focused affirmation to mail members every month for the same cost as a fancy coffee! @the.pnp.society

What is one interesting fact many people don’t know about you?

I still have a baby tooth that will forever remain because there is no adult tooth to replace it
