Dave Luketic is a U.S. Army veteran and certified personal trainer. He opened Shaka Strength Fitness in 2021 as a private studio where people can train hard without the crowds and the judgment of a big-box gym.
He coaches U.S. Special Operations personnel, amateur and professional boxers, and MMA fighters, including Elijah “Swift” Smith, Avery Olceski, Shantal Minto and Adrian Tillman Jr. He also coaches new moms, people recovering from surgery, beginners and members of the autism community, and he has trained a teen volleyball team.
His approach is simple: meet you where you are, then take you further than you thought you could go.

A full-body workout in 25 minutes.
EMS stands for electrical muscle stimulation. You wear the XBody suit while Dave coaches you through a workout. Pads in the suit send gentle electrical impulses that make your muscles contract harder than they would on their own, so every movement works more of your body.
Sessions are 25 minutes, and Dave sets the intensity for your fitness level.
