Private Training in Cape Coral
1-on-1, or semi-private with up to four people. A plan customized to you, and a coach guiding your technique on every rep.
Your own coach and your own plan
Private training is for people who want a more private, more personalized way to train. It's 1-on-1 with a coach, or semi-private with up to four people, and everything about it is customized to you.
Your coach builds the plan around your body, your goals and your schedule. You get hands-on guidance on your technique for every movement, at your pace, and the plan changes the second something doesn't feel right.
Most people who train this way stay with it, because they like the environment: more private, more focused, with a coach whose attention is all on them.
The stuff that keeps people in the parking lot
“I've got a bad knee, a bad back, an old injury.”
Tell us at the free 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.
“I'd rather not work out in front of a crowd.”
Then don't. 1-on-1 is just you and your coach, and semi-private is never more than four people total.
“I work out already, I'm just not sure I'm doing it right.”
That's what a coach's eyes are for. You get real-time feedback on your technique, and a plan that's actually going somewhere.
“What if I don't stick with it?”
It's a LOT harder to skip when a coach is standing there waiting on you.
What people actually come here for
People come to private training wanting a few things. I want a plan that's actually built for me. I want somebody watching my form. I want to stop hurting. I want somebody to just tell me what to do.
That's what this is: 1-on-1 guidance, a customized plan, and a coach's full attention on your technique. The standing appointment is what keeps you showing up.
Two ways to do it
One-on-one
Just you and your coach. The whole session is built around you.
Semi-private
You and up to three other people sharing a coach, with programming built for you.
What comes with private training
Men and women coaching
We have both male and female coaches, so you can work with whoever you're most comfortable with.
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
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.
Do you offer personal training?
Yes, one-on-one and semi-private for groups of one to four. Both male and female trainers. You get programming built for you specifically, hands-on coaching and someone actually holding you accountable.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for training here?
Often, yes. If a provider writes you a Letter of Medical Necessity saying supervised exercise is treating a specific condition, your HSA or FSA can usually cover it, and we’ll hand you the itemized receipt your plan needs. Ask your doctor whether you qualify.
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.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Everybody starts with a 12-week commitment, and after that we don’t lock you into anything long term. We’d rather you stay because it’s working than because you’re locked in.
