Programs
Group Training in Cape Coral
Coached classes from 5:30am to 6:30pm, five different kinds, and every single workout gets modified to fit the person doing it.
Worried you won't be able to keep up?
Almost EVERYBODY says that before their first class. You're picturing a class full of people who already know what they're doing, and you in the back trying not to get noticed.
In here the coach teaches every movement before anybody touches a weight, and then modifies it for you right there, for your knee or your shoulder or the fact that you haven't worked out since high school. The person next to you is probably doing a different version than you are, and that's completely normal here.
You also get the same coaches across every class, so by the end of your first week somebody already knows your name, and pretty soon they know what your back can handle too.
The stuff that keeps people in the parking lot
“I need to get in shape first.”
Most people think that, and it's how a whole year goes by. Getting you in shape is OUR job. Come in the shape you're in.
“I won't know what I'm doing.”
You don't have to. The coach tells you what the workout is, shows you every movement and helps you pick your weights. All you've gotta do is show up.
“Everybody's gonna be watching me.”
Pretty much everybody in that class is too busy getting through their own workout to watch yours. And they look like regular people, because they are: people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, folks with bad knees, people who started last month.
“I've tried before and it didn't stick.”
Same for a lot of our members. What's usually been missing is somebody who notices when you stop showing up. We check in with every member every week, so it's REALLY hard to quietly disappear on us.
What people actually come here for
Most people who sit down with us say some version of the same things. I want to feel like myself again. I want more energy. I wanna get rid of THIS. And then right behind it: I'm just so busy.
Group training is built for exactly that person. You show up, a coach tells you what to do, you work hard for a while next to people who are glad you came, and you leave feeling better than when you walked in. Do that a few times a week and that's where the energy, the strength and the way your clothes fit start to change.
What's on the schedule
METCON
Strength and conditioning mixed together. It's the class we run the most, every weekday morning and evening.
HYROX
Longer conditioning workouts built on the HYROX race format. Some members use it to train for actual races, and plenty of others just like a good long sweat.
FLEX
Strength training only, no cardio. For building muscle without being out of breath the whole time.
Shark HIIT
A 30-minute sweat session for the days you're short on time.
Diapers and Dumbbells
For pregnant and postpartum moms, twice a week at 11:00am. The programming is built around what your body is actually doing.
FLOW and Open Gym
There's a weekly stretch class too, called FLOW, plus Open Gym on Sunday mornings for members who want to get extra work in.
Training for a race? Here's how we do HYROX.

What comes with a group membership
A coach every time
Every class on that schedule is coached, start to finish. There's no showing up and figuring it out by yourself.
A weekly check-in
Every member gets a check-in from us every week. It's how we catch a rough patch before it turns into three months off.
A supportive community
People learn your name fast in here, and our coaches genuinely lose it when a new member jumps on a box for the first time. Burpees suck. Doing burpees with fun people makes them suck way less.

There are not enough good things that I can say about Sharkbite! I was in my late 40s when I first stepped foot inside this gym. Scared was an understatement. I was not only out of shape, I was contending with severe knee trouble. The owner and coaches literally put all my fears aside and help me every day! There is such a camaraderie here. If you want to work out in an environment, that is welcoming, will safely push you to your limits, and keep you accountable, Sharkbite Fitness and Nutrition is where you need to be!
My name is Sean and I came to Shark Bite a year ago, at age 59, with torn cartilage in 1 knee and a herniated disk in my lower back. I had all but given up on returning to an active lifestyle enjoying various sports because it was taking me 15 minutes to stretch just to get out of bed in the morning. Almost constant pain had become my norm. A friend had been telling me about the unique community at Shark Bite for a long time, and I decided that I was going to sign up for three months and do whatever Coach Val told me to do as a last ditch effort to avoid back surgery. I made a short commitment and was skeptical, but I showed up for every appointment. It was embarrassing to appear weak. It was a slow and painful process. But being in pain and being injured are 2 very different things. Coach Val did not let me injure myself. She has an uncanny ability to evaluate a client and understand where their growth is and where their limits lie. After three months I was doing things, carefully, that I thought i would never do again. I started going to the Metcon and Flex classes. After another 4 months I was back to windsurfing and playing tennis. Just a few months ago I was skiing in the Alps on a bucket list vacation and and had my whole family with me, enjoying a passion that I thought was lost. I had small goals that turned into big goals. I did the work. Mostly I just showed up and put myself in the hands of a team of coaches that make any class feel like a personal training session. Their passion for helping people reach their potential comes through in every class, every conversation and every interaction. Val, Nick and Josh make a unique team that brings expertise, unbridled enthusiasm and passion for serving others that has blown me away and kept me out of the surgical suite. Trust them, trust the process and make a small commitment to yourself. You and your future are worth the effort!
At 56 I thought it would be impossible to lose the menopause belly and excess weight.... until I found SharkBite! I did private lessons at first so I could learn the movements and build up some endurance. Then graduated to group classes. I now have over 100 classes in and I'm not sure why I waited so long to join. I've dropped about 10 lbs and 5% body fat in 7 months. It's not a quick weight drop and that's ok. I feel great, my clothes are getting looser, and I improve my movements, strength, and flexibility with every class. This time last year I definitely would not have been doing handstands! I love being able to keep up with my grandkids! I am so grateful for the awesome coaches (especially Val and Rachael)!
This gym is so welcoming! I love their different options of classes! You can do a quick 30 minut hiit class, Metcon, hyrox, or bodybuilding (flex). The coaches are engaged with members the entire class and you can tell they care.
I joined Shark Bite Fitness in December after we moved to the area. I’ve been to lots of different gyms but this one has exceeded all expectations! They have great programming for all levels of fitness with multiple workout options each day. Everyone here is so welcoming and encouraging! Their coaches are all so knowledgeable and friendly and will help you achieve your goals no matter what they are. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone whether it’s training for a hyrox race or if you are just starting your fitness journey!
If you want a place to get healthier and have fun while doing it this is the spot. Everyone is genuine and authentically wanting to see each other win in and out of the gym.
I love this gym!!!! When I first started, I was looking for somewhere with comraderie and community; somewhere I felt like I belonged. I didn't have to look far. Immediately upon joining Shark Bite, the coaches and members were friendly, engaging, and I quickly made friends. The coaches are great with modifying the exercises to your ability, there are members of ALL ages, and everyone cheers each other on and holds each other accountable. If you are looking for the perfect, fun gym, this is it!
Training at Shark bite has made a huge difference for me. I’ve built noticeable strength and, most importantly, consistency. The environment keeps me motivated and accountable. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made here!
So glad I decided to join this gym!! The coaches are all knowledgeable and amazing and the community of members make it even better! This is exactly the environment I needed to learn how to get back in shape after having my babies
Amazing workouts and great trainers. Doesn’t get much better than that , Cape Coral.

Common questions
I'm completely out of shape and haven't worked out in years. Is this gym for me?
That’s most of the people who walk in here. Every workout gets modified, which means the movement stays the same and the weight, reps and range change to fit you. You will not be the only person modifying something. Honestly, if you already lift heavy and feel at home in a commercial gym, we’re probably not the most exciting fit for you.
Am I too old to start? I'm in my 40s, 50s or 60s.
No. A good chunk of our members started in their 40s and 50s, and some later than that. Age mostly changes how carefully the plan gets built and how closely somebody watches your form. That’s the part a coached gym is actually for.
What if I have a bad knee, a bad back, or an old injury?
Bring it up at the intro and be specific. Our coaches build around injuries all the time, and being in pain is different from being injured. If something is genuinely outside what we should be handling, we’ll tell you that instead of taking your money.
Is Shark Bite a CrossFit gym?
No. Our METCON classes are functional fitness: barbell work, conditioning and a lot of variety. If you've liked CrossFit, you'll probably like METCON.
Do you have classes for pregnant or postpartum women?
Yes, it’s called Diapers and Dumbbells and it runs at 11:00am twice a week. It’s built specifically for prenatal and postpartum training, so the programming accounts for what your body is actually doing. Nobody is going to hand you a resistance band and tell you to take it easy for nine months. It’s one of the things this community is genuinely known for.
