Eric is a CA native, born and raised right here in Southern California. He grew up playing sports and has also trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga and Muay Thai Kickboxing. He started CrossFit in 2009, where he met and was coached by none other than Becca. He quickly fell in love with both, CrossFit and Becca! He enjoys sharing his passion with others and helping them achieve their fitness goals.

Prior to Training Yard, Eric amassed 12 years of experience in Executive Protection, providing close personal protection for high profile and at-risk individuals as well as training other protective agents.

Outside of the gym, he likes to spend time with Becca and his son, Caden.

Coach Dot brings five years of experience to CrossFit Training Yard’s coaching staff. With a background in collegiate softball and many regional competitive accomplishments, she has a unique blend of experiences that have lead her to specialize in weightlifting and sport-specific training. She attributes it mainly to her passion for creating better “movers”. “I like pushing people past their perceived boundaries or limitations in a safe and progressive way,” she says.

Dot is not only a coach and a weightlifter, but also a kinesiology grad that interned with the head strength coach of her college, effectively kickstarting her coaching career. She is passionate for the athleticism, and also for the people, saying, “I love interacting with members and getting to know them. The more you know an athlete, the better you can coach them and help them understand the movements.”

When she isn’t in the gym, she can be found watching Netflix and hanging out with her dog Turbo.

Coach Dustin has been involved in Crossfit for over 7 years and brings a plethora of knowledge and experience to the coaching staff here at Crossfit Training Yard. Dustin grew up playing sports all the way up to collegiate football. After football, he felt the need to find something that would test his physical limits as an athlete and after one Crossfit class, he never looked back. His passion for the sport has driven him to compete on a team at the regional/sanctional level for several years. He's always trying to find new ways to develop as an athlete. Dustin enjoys sharing the same passion with our members and enjoys helping them advance in their own fitness journeys.

When he's not in the gym, you can find him hanging out with his wife Roxanne and their three dogs, Hank, Hunter and Ellie.

Coach David has been CrossFitting since 2012. When he first tried CrossFit, he said, “I tried it out once and was hooked because of the competitive atmosphere and variety of  workouts.” This passion for fitness lead him to become a coach, where he loves to help CrossFit Training Yard members achieve more than they thought they could.

When David isn’t at the gym, you can find him surfing, traveling, and eating out. His favorite quote is: “Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right.”

To say Coach Darnell is passionate about fitness would be an understatement! He's coached and trained in CrossFit for the past 7 years, prior to which he played college football (defensive back). He has attended and volunteered at numerous training camps, including the esteemed Power Monkey Fitness Camp. He is also a seminar instructor for RX Jumpropes and has hosted numerous clinics as a part of their coaching team.
