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.

Born and raised in SoCal, Anthony grew up training as a dancer performing all over the San Fernando Valley and was introduced to CrossFit in 2014. Some of his favorite training has included “conjugate method” and Strongman. After getting his CPT with NASM, Anthony decided to pursue his long time desire of becoming a CrossFit Coach. He believes this is the greatest sport that combines personal competition, community and honest support.

If Anthony isn’t working out he is most likely at the park or the beach with his wife Haley and their Mini Aussie Shepard Kona!

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.

Born and raised in Southern Orange County, Chance grew up enjoying all types of outdoor sports. You could never find him indoors when the sun was out. After losing the desire to pursue professional basketball overseas, he found CrossFit. WOD by WOD he got it done alone, but something was missing. After a year of being scared to "officially" join a CrossFit gym, he stepped into Training Yard. After a couple years of being a member, his hobby turned into a passion, he earned his CrossFit Level 1 certification and started coaching. If he’s not coaching, he’s training or on set filming in the entertainment industry.

“If it doesn’t scare you, it’s probably not worth doing”

Chaniece is originally from Pittsburgh, PA. She received her degree in Kinesiology at The Pennsylvania State University, where she worked with the Strength and Conditioning staff and was introduced to her career in fitness and coaching. The Lakers fan in her needed it so, she moved to LA in 2016. There, she immediately fell in love with CrossFit, specifically, the athleticism and the community. It reignited the high school athlete within her. It consumed her life and her career as her coaching gears shifted more towards the sport. She loves how the atmosphere involves everyone wanting to be better, everyday.

When people ask her what her hobbies are, she usually just says, “working out” but she also enjoys a good tv show binge or movie in her free time. She also spends a lot of time making sure that her mental well-being is just as taken care of as her physical.

“If you feel good, you look good."

An east coast native, Haley found her love for competition and fitness through basketball at just 7 years old! She worked her way through school playing every sport imaginable and as an adult, she was itching for some kind of fitness challenge. She found Training Yard at the end of 2022, which was a big step up from working out alone in her room! She’s come far and is loving every hurdle along the way.

If she’s not in the gym she’s creating art or in nature (because you can never have too much sun)!
