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.

Ted was born and raised in Santa Clarita and played a variety of sports growing up.  After graduating from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo in 2009, Ted's older brother introduced him to CrossFit.  For months, Ted was getting beat by his brother in every workout which was humbling, but also unacceptable.  Ted accredits this as one of the main reasons why he continued to do CrossFit... to continue a long tradition of sibling rivalry. He also discovered a tight-knit community and a group of knowledgable and passionate coaches.  He knew that he wanted this to be apart of this and received his CrossFit Level 1 in 2011.  Ted has been coaching ever since and always seeks to be a better athlete, coach, and friend.

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.”

Coach Finn works hard to instill confidence in unsure athletes. “I live for those moments when someone floods with joy upon discovering they can do something they didn't think they could” he says. “In 2015, I began coaching CrossFit and have been enjoying it ever since.”

Finn has been an athlete all his life, most recently playing in soccer leagues in Los Angeles and Sydney. He found CrossFit 6 years ago after a long journey as a personal fitness trainer looking for something that focused on functional fitness and accountability. For Finn, health and fitness is important, but empathy, courage, and integrity are important above all else. “I believe it is in our nature to grow and connect with and serve each other,” he says.

Finn’s experiences are vast, having lived in Australia for 8 years before returning to the States and becoming a trainer. While he loves to share his experiences traveling, he now can share them with his infant son, Welby.
