EVAN DERVELOY
Evan is a CrossFit Level 2 trainer and NESTA Certified Personal Trainer. He is a veteran of the United States Army and served 6 years as a Combat Medic. He was introduced to CrossFit in 2005 while in the Army and realized the application of fitness for combat and life required conditioning more diverse than just running and lifting weights. Evan views all of life as potential training exercises, and understanding this, Evan seeks to advance North Louisiana's understanding and expression of movement to a degree of virtuosity previously unrealized.
Evan and his wife Lauren also own Bossier City CrossFit, and the methods and philosophy taught at both are the result of years of training, education, and proven metrics of success. Our mission has always been to make you save money on healthcare, learn to use your body and avoid injury, look better naked, and become harder to kill.

ERIN HANNA
Erin is a CrossFit Level 1 trainer. She grew up playing many different sports, but her true love was softball. She played infield for tournament teams and was the varsity pitcher at her high school. When she graduated high school, she chose to focus on academics instead of playing sports. This left a void which resulted in a vicious cycle of random workouts, yo-yo dieting, and a lack of self-confidence. This went on for years until she found CrossFit Ruston in the fall of 2013. She loved the community and that her body could do more than she ever thought it could. In 2015, everything changed. Erin was diagnosed with breast cancer at an extremely young age. The CrossFit Ruston community rallied around her with love, encouragement, and support. She knows that the healthy lifestyle that CrossFit introduced into her life kept her alive. Erin is a High School Art Teacher by day, and a CrossFit coach by night. She is giving back to the very community that helped save her life. She became a CrossFit Level 1 trainer in December 2017, and thoroughly enjoys helping people realize their true potential.
