"I give credit to Anthony who has physically prepared me for every obstacle that I face. In racing the physical demands are far different than any other sport, which require a trainer with great adaptability and a creative imagination . Not only has Anthony fulfilled both of these tasks but he has become a great friend of mine in the process."

"I have had the opportunity to train with Anthony and it was a contributing factor to my success as a professional athlete. He challenged me using specific training methods for ice hockey which pushed me towards reaching my ultimate goal of playing in the National Hockey League. Anthony brings a certain dedication and intensity that is unmatched in the field of sports training. Thanks Anthony, for pushing me to performance levels I never thought possible from myself."

"Training with Anthony Donskov in the summer has helped me to increase both strength and speed. The work that we have done will be integral for me to make a good impression in training camp. Anthony’s knowledge, passion, and commitment to helping me in the summer has been greatly appreciated."

Mike Glumac

"I started training with Anthony six months after I had surgery to repair a fully torn ACL and meniscus in my right leg. At first I thought that the training would only benefit my rehabilitation, but DSC has mad e a huge impact on my overall strength and conditioning. Anthony’s attention to detail and passion for getting the best out of his clients make every workout worthwhile. This summer I participated in 90 minute DSC workouts four times a week and the progress I made clearly shows. Anthony’s enthusiasm and coaching created an atmosphere that made me look forward to coming to work hard and train every day. I am more confident in my surgically repaired leg than ever before and I am a stronger and quicker basketball player on the floor because of the work I put in at DSC. As an athlete I look forward to working with Anthony because I know that I am not only going to get a great workout, but also a smart one. His coaching and dedication have put me on the path to be stronger than I was before I tore my ACL, as well as having a successful basketball season."

Jim Bennett, Granville High School Varsity Basketball

"Over the past few years I have had the privilege of training with Anthony, and have seen many strides of improvement. Working out with Anthony over the summer has been a great experience which has physically and mentally prepared me for whatever challenge I may face. His hockey specific workouts target what I personally need to work on to become a better player, and I have benefited immensely from that. Each day I look forward to my work out not only because they are fun and valuable, but Anthony has become a good friend of mine as well."

Blake Edwards

"If you're going to take working out seriously, you need more than a highquality facility and equipment. You need a high quality program, a high quality trainer, and motivated athletes all working together. I am thankful to say that I have found all of these at DSC and can't say enough about how much I have benefitted from working with Anthony Donskov. I have worked out hard over the summer before, but nothing I have done has compared with the training program at DSC. Anthony knows what is best for you as an athlete and will push you to your limits accordingly. I have become a much stronger and faster athlete because of this experience and I do not believe I could have achieved this much anywhere else. It really is a world-class facility backed by a world-class trainer and I would do nothing less than recommend the program at DSC to anyone that wishes to excel as an athlete. I look forward to working with Anthony again this fall during the upcoming hockey season."

“Training with Donskov Strength and Conditioning has allowed me to obtain my goals as an athlete. The Athletic Performance Development Program allowed me to train every aspect of my sport as closely as possible. Anthony not only makes training a challenge he makes it fun. I have been training with Donskov Strength and Conditioning for a year and a half and I have seen the results first hand. I have become a bigger, faster, and stronger athlete. Anthony will push his athletes as hard as they can train and always brings the same intensity into his gym day in and day out. I look forward to each and every workout. I have never found such a complex workout like the workouts provided at DSC. This is the best training I have found anywhere. Anthony is a great person and a great friend and I will continue to train at DSC for the rest of my hockey career, and for years to come.”

Michael Matthes

"The Donskov Strength and Conditioning program I attended this summer consisted of four 1 hour and 30 minute workouts a week. Of all the training I have been through to develop my athletic abilities, this training program has helped me the most. We begin each work out with a dynamic warm up stretch specific to the up coming lifts. After the stretch we begin one of the most grueling lifts I have ever been through. Each of the four lifts consist of one to two core lifts (power cleans, squats, trap bar deadlifts, bench press, and/or snatches). With these core lifts, are several other exercises such as pull ups, single leg squats, and many other lower body, upper body and abdominal lifts. Knowing how to create a great work out is only telling half the story of Donskov Strength and Conditioning.

I have known Anthony Donskov for the better half of my life, and at the age of 15, I have realized that Anthony does much more for his athletes than work them to death. He shows great care towards everyone of his athletes and clients and does his best to connect with each one personally. For me, I had several biomechanical issues that affected my sport. Anthony gladly took me aside and did everything in his power to help me counter these issues. When I first came in to train with Anthony, last summer, he coached me through some difficult techniques and exercises, but none was harder than me learning how to squat. Because the way I am built, I was not able to squat correctly without any weight. Now, one year later, due to Anthony’s desire to help me succeed, I am able to squat heavy weight, multiple times, something I could have never done without him. All together Anthony Donskov runs one of the best training facilities I know of in the country and it will only continue to get better over the years."

"I have been working with Anthony for a few years now and attribute a great deal of my athletic success to the training I have received through him. Anthony is knowledgeable, flexible, motivated, passionate, and will push you to work at the highest level you can. Anthony can and will tell you the purpose of every exercise that he has you do and how that translates to game situations. He is often at clinics or studying different ways to improve his already fantastic training style and is never afraid to make changes to work outs based off of new findings. Every time I walk into the gym to train Anthony brings the same intensity and upbeat attitude which fosters an excellent training environment. Every time I leave the gym, I go feeling satisfied and knowing that what I have done will bring positive effects to my game. In the past, he has altered our workouts to accommodate for me having shoulder surgery. Through this Anthony continued helping me grow stronger while also helping me rebuild my repaired shoulder. I am happy to say that my shoulder has recovered well from surgery and Anthony’s training played a major role. In one summer of working with Anthony, I was able to gain 10 lbs of muscle weight which I kept throughout my hockey season. The results of his training are outstanding and I noticed them almost immediately after I began working with him, and continue to notice them still today. Anthony is an outstanding trainer who would be my first recommendation for anyone looking to become a stronger and more efficient athlete."

"I really had a great time working out at DSC. Coach Anthony really interacted and motivated us through the entire workout. I believed this really helped me out with my hockey and football. It also gave me more confidence, made me a stronger, faster, and a more physical player on the ice and on the field. Thanks coach Anthony for a great summer."

Hunter Shepherd

"Anthony didn't just motivate me, he pushed me to work harder and harder each
day I went. It was a great experience and I look forward to doing it again."

Jake Shepherd

"My son, Mark, is 15 years old and has worked out with Anthony for just over a year. The gains Mark has made with Anthony have far exceeded my expectations. Mark actually has gotten stronger at one or more lifts at every workout. Anthony has an intensity of focus, an attention to detail and incessant positive attitude that has motivated my son to work harder and harder and look forward to doing it. Anthony loves what he does and it clearly rubs off on his students. I have had many people ask me what I have been feeding my son, and I tell them, Donskov Strength & Conditioning."

Mark Damante

"My 17 year old son Jim began training with Anthony after he had five surgeries to repair a compound fracture to his one leg and a full ACL and Lateral Meniscus tear to the other leg. After missing two seasons of basketball due to his injuries, I wanted Jim to be able to play without injury his senior year. As a NASM licensed personal trainer myself, I spoke with Anthony regarding giving Jim a solid foundation to promote injury reduction. Anthony explained his program to reduce sporting injuries which included conditioning drills that increased the strength of the muscles surrounding Jim’s knees. Jim began the program and immediately began making improvements. I saw Jim make his comeback in basketball during the Central Ohio Shootout in July and was amazed at his speed, strength and most of all confidence. When I asked him how he played without fear, he said it was due to DSC. He was confident in his body and his abilities based on the training he received working with Anthony both privately and in a group setting. I am thrilled with Jim’s results and cannot thank Anthony enough for his help getting Jim back to his game. It has been a very tough two years for Jim and he needed the help of a professional to return him to his former self. Anthony made this happen!"

Sarah Parker

"Anthony Donskov spent last summer training my 12 year old son, Jake for off-ice conditioning. Jake wanted to increase his speed and stamina on the ice for the upcoming hockey season. At the beginning of the summer, Anthony pointed out 3 key areas to focus on and then proceeded to do just that. Anthony's approach to improving physical conditioning goes beyond any expectation I might have had. He approaches an individuals conditioning by providing the most up to date strength and agility exercises and has the patience to make sure techniques are perfect. Anthony's knowledge of client safety and well being eliminates the risk of injury and enable the client to give 110% in a safe environment. Anthony surrounds himself with experts who can provide additional knowledge such as nutritional guidance to make a complete workout package. Last summer did wonders for Jake both on and off the ice and I know he is looking forward to working with Anthony for many years to come."

“My 12 year old son Mark, a AAA level hockey player, began working with Anthony earlier in the year with his hockey team. As summer approached and we began to prepare for the next season, I knew one area of development for Mark was to increase his strength, so we turned to Anthony. Mark and two of his teammates worked as a group with Anthony over the course of ten sessions, and I cannot believe the difference it has made in Mark's physical condition! He is stronger, much more able to control his body on and off the ice, and even looks more muscular. However, there is an even more important piece I'd like to comment on…Anthony has helped to instill/reinforce such a strong work ethic in my son and the other boys. He does a tremendous job of coupling hard work, listening and discipline with a sense of fun, positive reinforcement and high energy! This balance is so necessary for young men and women to be motivated to work hard, and I truly believe that it is as important to his clients' success as is all the education and experience that Anthony brings to the table. Mark left his sessions this summer stronger, motivated, and with a stronger sense of confidence. We can't wait for next summer!”

"My daughter Lexi is 13 years old and a competitive figure skater. Anthony started working with her almost two years ago. Our goal was to increase power and stamina. Anthony brought every training aspect and tailored it to her spefic needs. We could not have asked for anything better. Anthony is professional but also makes the training fun. Now Lexi has explosive power in her jumps and can skate her programs without being fatigued. Thank You Anthony for giving us your time and expertise."
