At CrossFit Eclipse, we love celebrating the hard work, dedication, and positive energy that our members bring to the gym every day. This month, we’re excited to highlight someone who embodies all of that and more—Jacob Meyer, our March Athlete of the Month!
Jacob has been crushing it in the gym, staying disciplined with his training and nutrition challenge, competing in events like the Monster Games qualifiers and KO in the OK, and consistently pushing himself to be better. But beyond his personal achievements, he’s also one of the most encouraging and supportive members at Eclipse, always cheering on others and bringing a competitive yet uplifting energy to every class.
Let’s get to know Jacob a little better!

What is your proudest fitness achievement so far?
