MORE THAN A GYM. A COMMUNITY BUILT TO HELP PEOPLE GET STRONGER — TOGETHER.

CrossFit STB SOCO is a place for people at every stage of their fitness journey. Some walk through our doors with years of experience. Others are stepping into a gym for the first time.

What matters isn't where you start. It's having coaches who care, people beside you, and a place where you know you belong.

OUR STORY
BUILT ON SOMETHING WORTH KEEPING

Before there was CrossFit STB SOCO, there was Share the Burden.

The name was more than a name. It represented what the gym became — a place where people showed up for each other, worked through hard things together, and understood that nobody had to do it alone.

As the gym moves into its next chapter, we're building on that foundation rather than starting over.

New name. New chapter. Same belief.

No One Carries It Alone.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

Hear from the people who show up, put in the work, and make STb soco what it is.

  • My gym home for almost 2 years! I've been to 3 Crossfit gyms in St. Louis. At Share the Burden they focus on your mobility and warm-up, scaling options for your weakness or injury, and they really care about your workout readiness for the day - did you sleep well? how is your stress? are you sore from a recent workout? Don't be afraid to try it because it's Crossfit - every movement is scalable & the coaches are very knowledgeable and caring. Great gym, even better community.

  • I have been a member for 8 years and there is no limit to the wonderful things that can be said about STB. Justin’s programming is well thought out and the coaching is the best I have experienced in my 12 years of CrossFit. They will always find modifications for movements to fit your needs. The culture and community Justin and the other coaches have built is friendly, inspiring, and welcoming.

    —Sandy Wagner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • This gym is awesome! I’ve been going for 8 months now. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. The coaches get to know you, instill confidence in you, and provide constructive feedback to help you improve your form and techniques. The programming is well thought out and provides you with the ability to develop your skills week after week. If you’re even considering joining this gym or dropping in, you should! You won’t be disappointed.

  • I joined STB in June of 2024, and I’m so glad to have found such a great gym. The coaches are helpful and kind, giving encouragement and useful tips while also challenging athletes to rise to their full potential. Since joining, I’ve made huge strides in my strength, endurance, and mobility. The workouts are always fun and have appropriate scaling for those of us that are still learning. STB is not only a CrossFit gym, it’s a community of people who will cheer you on as you reach your goals.
