About Us
Your Journey to CrossFit Starts Here
CrossFit has been in La Grande since 2013, and I've been the owner of Eagle Cap since 2016. We enjoy doing community workouts and get-togethers and have a pretty varied range of athletes. At Eagle Cap, we believe in challenging yourself to achieve your fitness goals via a supportive community and coaching.

Meet The Team
ERIN - Coach E
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
Coach
Many of us come to CrossFit looking to make a life change, and coach Erin was no different. Active her entire life from high school sports to kickboxing to triathlons; Erin found her true passion after attending her first CrossFit class in December of 2013. Since that day, obsession might be a better description. She has stood on the podium multiple times at the Best of the West CrossFit Competitions, she’s been an “elite” qualifier in the Kill Cliff Cascade Classic, and is ranked in the top 100 athletes in the CrossFit West Region.
Outside of CrossFit, Erin is a teacher/mother/wife/personal chauffeur. She has two kids who actively play sports and can usually be found in the back of the gym squeezing in an extra workout in between shuttling kids to and from practice and games. She is the crazy coach willing to come in every morning at 5:30 AM with a smile on her face ready to train hard, yell loudly, and encourage every athlete while busting out her famous dance moves to some old school gangster rap!!!
Bene
Coach/Owner
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer. CrossFit Nutrition
French mama of four who didn't find her athletic/competitive side until starting CrossFit back in 2013. She believes that growth happens outside your comfort zone and tries to be reminded of that frequently.
When not at the box, or at her day job at her husband's chiropractic clinic, you can find Bene trail running, mat side cheering her wrestlers, or spending time with her family on their farm.
Bottom line: CrossFit simply changed her life. It improved her quality of life, and she wants to share that.
