TRAIN HARD! EASY SUCKS!
About Shark Fitness
Shark Fitness Training began in 2000 as an inexpensive, personal approach to group fitness that could accommodate a wide range of abilities yet provide equal intensity for all. We were quickly established as the undisputed leader in this type of training by providing an exceptionally safe and effective training environment for nearly all levels of fitness.
We ask our Clients for three simple things: arrive on time, work as hard as you can and pay attention to details. Our training is geared toward those who genuinely want to EARN legitimate results. Our boot camps aren’t too hard – they are just harder than some people are willing to work.
OUTDOOR BOOT CAMPS ARE IN SESSION!
(Clayton, Francis Park, SLCC-Meramec and Whitecliff Park)
Start earning results!
Shark Fitness Training Boot Camps are held at multiple locations throughout the St. Louis area. Our sessions run from 5-7 weeks and include either two or three one-hour classes per week, and cost about $13 per class. Our Saturday morning 8:00am-9:30am class at Whitecliff Park resumes March 23. You can drop in and attend on a per class basis any time ($25 per class or buy a 5 class punch card for $90.00 – $18.00/class). If you use the 90-minute Whitecliff class as a makeup for a 60-minute class from the previous week, the charge is $5.00

Weather Alerts
From March well into December we train outdoors – in the heat, the cold, the wind and the rain and still earn results. We believe that training in less than ideal conditions builds character and a fitness mindset.
Our boot camp is designed to be held outdoors, but occasionally we are forced inside due to unfavorable weather conditions and in January our programs move indoors.
Location changes or cancellation for classes due to inclement weather will be on our Facebook page and at the bottom of our website. Click the button below to connect on Facebook.
The Leader in St. Louis Boot Camp Training
What sets Shark Fitness Training Boot Camps Apart?
There are five basic guidelines to determining whether or not your program is the best option:
1. Intensity – Your heart rate should remain between 85-95% of its max throughout the training, breathing heavy to the point conversation becomes difficult, sweating and some degree of soreness the following day is a necessity.
2. Adjusts to your level – Each client should leave equally exhausted from a program that allows him/her to give their best output without being overwhelmed or held back.
3. Balance – ALL areas of your body should be trained with equal intensity and attention.
4. Complete, and SAFE range of motion – of all muscle groups.
5. Safety – Training is NOT a game or competition and injuries are never acceptable.
The reason behind 15+ years of leading St. Louis in optimally effective group exercise and the fact that Shark Fitness Training Clients average over 7 years in the program is that we nail all five guidelines with the utmost precision. Simply stated, our program is very effective, adjusts to an exceptionally wide range of fitness levels and has an outstanding safety record.
What more do you want or need to step up to our caliber of training? Some will assume the program is too hard…it isn’t. We’re not too hard…just harder than some are willing to work.
A Proven Track Record of Results
Training is either easy or effective…never both.
There are many “boot camp” style programs to choose from in St. Louis. Some mimic our program, water it down and sell it as their own. Some offer GroupOn deals that virtually give their program away. Would you trust a physician with a “Buy One Get One Free” sign on their office door? Our classes are about $12 each and our programs run in five week sessions…we do not offer discounts to fill our classes. The results speak for themselves.
There was a time when people understood that you had to work hard to achieve goals. Today, it seems that most are waiting for the easy, overnight and “fun” way to better health. Good luck with that. We promote the idea of working hard for 4 hours a week so that the other 164 are more productive, healthy and enjoyable. That’s a pretty good trade if you ask me. Shark Fitness: No Nonsense. No Excuses. Just Results!
New to Shark Fitness Training Boot Camp?
What to Expect
Our classes start very promptly and ask that Clients arrive early to drop off their keys and pick-up their resistance bands. Clients should arrive well nourished, hydrated, dressed appropriately for the weather with water and a mat or towel if preferred. The class will start with a short jog, stretches and calisthenics designed to get the body ready to work.
Each class is different. Clients perform a variety of strength and endurance challenges along with calisthenics that addresses all areas of the body equally. The two primary focuses of the program is hard work and attention to detail in regards to training technique. Timed sets and three different levels of resistance bands are used to allow each person to genuinely train at their best level without competing or comparing themselves to other clients.
Our Clients average over 7 years in the program and they are the true reason behind our success by creating an outstanding supportive environment for new trainees. The class will feel overwhelming as you start, as any professional training program should. Results have to be earned and it certainly isn’t easy. When you are ready to train professionally by people who genuinely care about your success, Shark Fitness Training is the obvious choice.

“If I am having a rough day and don’t feel very motivated all I need to do is look next to me. Every single person in class has been an inspiration to me in one way or another. That is what makes Shark Fitness so special and that is why I feel great when I finish class. We are much more than a class; we are a way of life. We work hard and motivate each other in ways you may never understand. I am proud to work out with this extraordinary group of trainers and clients.”
