Dakota Shackleton

A former Division I football player and proud UNLV graduate, Dakota Shakelton’s athletic journey has been defined by relentless drive and an unshakable passion for performance. After transitioning from collegiate football to the world of personal training, Dakota discovered CrossFit—and the challenge, discipline, and community it brought instantly ignited a new fire.

Now a CrossFit Level 2 and USA Weightlifting certified coach, Dakota serves as a remote coach for Underdogs Athletics and is the proud new owner of Camp Rhino Las Vegas, one of the city’s premier fitness communities. His leadership, work ethic, and competitive spirit earned him Team MVP honors for the Las Vegas Venom last season.

As he returns for another year with the newly rebranded Las Vegas Venom, Dakota is focused on raising the standard once again—on and off the field—and leading by example in every arena he enters.
