Owner & head coach

Meet Coach Dave

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.

XBody EMS training

A full-body workout in 25 minutes.

New to EMS? Sign the XBody consent form before your first session.

What is EMS?

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.

Why train in the suit

  • Activates up to 90% of your muscle fibers
  • A full-body workout in 25 minutes
  • Boosts strength, endurance and muscle tone at the same time
  • Supports your metabolism and fat-loss goals
  • Helps circulation and recovery
  • Improves posture, core stability and muscle balance
  • Intensity adjusts for every level, beginner to pro athlete

  2. Book your first session

    Pick a time on Vagaro or Mindbody. Your first XBody session is $45, 50% off.

  3. Consultation

    Talk through your goals and health with Coach Dave before you suit up.

  4. First EMS session

    Same visit: Dave fits the suit and walks you through your first workout. Wear comfortable clothes.
