Programs
THE PROGRAM
The Dojo Elite Fitness program is built upon the foundations of Crossfit. “CrossFit makes use of three different standards or models for evaluating and guiding fitness. Collectively, these three standards define the CrossFit view of fitness. The first is based on the ten general physical skills widely recognized by exercise physiologists. The second standard, or model, is based on the performance of athletic tasks, while the third is based on the energy systems that drive all human action.”
Each of these standards, or models, is integral in our pursuit of the ultimate level of fitness. And while the Crossfit methodolgy may seem unusually broad – it is exactly this type of general, yet inclusive approach to fitness that allows us to develop a healthy body, mind and lifestyle. The Dojo and our Crosfit program is dedicated to individuals who are committed to learning about real fitness and proper nutrition. We desire to train those who individuals who seek to make the most of their potential, and respectfully request that you do not waste our time or your’s if you are not serious.
Those of us that train at the Dojo are unique, and we pride ourselves on the sense of family and community that we develop with one another. Our motto is, “Life is a fight – train to fight and win.” With Crossfit and the Dojo Elite family, you will become a warrior capable of winning any and every battle that Life throws your way! OOOSSS!

Owner/Coach
Luke Denney
Owner/Coach Luke Denney was born and raised in Omaha, NE. His athletic career began at a very early age when in elementary school he began to compete in both judo and soccer. From there Denney’s athletic endeavors went on to include competitive wrestling, swimming, and basketball as he entered junior high school. Unfortunately, Coach Denney had to make some choices in high school and his diverse athletic background took some “cuts.” In the end he chose to pursue football, basketball, and soccer at Central High School in Omaha, Ne, as well as continue to compete on a club basis w/ soccer.
It was early on in his athletic high school career that Denney learned about the need for quality strength and conditioning. He took it upon himself to put in the extra work and make the most of his career. Not only would he attend various camps for different sports, but he would also put in extra hours in the weight room – both off-season and in-season. It was here that it all started.
Denney graduated from Omaha Central High School and went to the University of Nebraska to play for the legendary Tom Osborne. Under the wing of the Boyd Epley strength/conditioning program for the Huskers, Denney’s knowledge and pursuit of athletic performance grew even more. However, when Tom Osborne retired after their National Championship in 1997, Luke left Lincoln to pursue another dream and another national title in soccer at Rockhurst University – playing for another coaching legend in Dr. Anthony Tocco. Unfortunately they came up a little short, losing in the elite eight of the NCAA tournament his senior year.
But, over the years as the competition and the desire to be the best grew, so did the need to improve athletic performance. Throughout his career Denney developed a passion for strength/conditioning – and what started as fundamental strength training, soon began to include plyometrics, bodyweight training, strongman training, resistance cardio, and eventually Crossfit. Over the years Denney has ceaselessly sought out what training programs were essential, what training methods were effective, and what tools were needed to be used to be the best. His studying and experimentation ultimately built what is now – Dojo Elite Fitness. He has been able to put his knowledge and techniques into practice for several top notch programs – for his sister and University of Minnesota Women’s Soccer, for his father andMaryville University Wrestling, and also as a strength/conditioning coach for his alma mater Rockhurst University.
Building upon his own athletic career and his experience as a former high school and middle school teacher/coach, Denney has been able to build a solid foundation for the academic and athletic education of his athletes at the Dojo. From professional UFC fighters and college all-americans, to men and women simply wanting to build a healthier lifestyle – there is no other strength/conditioning coach in the Kansas City area that has the experience or passion of Coach Denney. When you become part of the Dojo, you become part of an elite family fighting to be the best in every aspect of life! OOOSSS!
