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 their 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 Kenny started his CrossFit journey back in 2012, close to 100 pounds overweight and pre-diabetic. As a result of his excessive body weight, he was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease in his lower back and was told he would need to limit his physical activity, indefinitely…This wasn’t the life Kenny wanted, so he sought another opinion. In doing so, he encountered a medical professional that was familiar with CrossFit methodology and recommended he give it a try. Kenny eased into it, focusing strictly on body weight movements and gymnastics for the first 8 months. He eventually re-introduced external loads to his training and has since been able to set personal bests in every lift! As a result of CrossFit training, he was able to cut down to a healthy body weight, while gaining 15 pounds of muscle. This transformation ignited a fire, and he decided to use his experiences to help others achieve their own goals.

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.”
