WELCOME TO THE COVE

We built Cove because fitness actually works when people get stronger together — with coaches who know your name, a community that shows up with you, and training that's built around your life, not the other way around.

ERIC DEPAULA

Cove Owner/Founder
Holistic Health & Performance Coach

Growing up in Northern California, Eric dedicated his youth to athletics, quickly discovering that strength training, recovery, and a commitment to health were key to peak performance. This passion laid the foundation for his lifelong pursuit of wellness and performance optimization.

At 22, Eric opened his first functional fitness gym in Solana Beach, CA, where he trained clients for over 11 years. Today, he continues to work with individuals and small groups, crafting customized training and nutrition programs tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. His approach goes beyond fitness—evaluating the body holistically and empowering clients with the tools, education, and strategies for sustainable success.

As a licensed C.H.E.K. (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) professional, Eric integrates in-depth assessments to uncover the root causes of his clients’ physical and health challenges. He believes we all possess the innate capacity to heal and thrive—and is committed to being a supportive, knowledgeable guide on that journey.
