What the pros have to say:"Anthony has shown intense dedication to training athletes while using the most advanced techniques in his field. His thirst for cutting edge training methods drives his knowledge base. He continually researches the most recent strength and agility techniques and applies them to the individuals he trains. He accurately uses sports specific drills that promote performance enhancement and, more importantly, injury prevention. Although his sports background is ice hockey, his broad knowledge base allows him to successfully train a multitude of athletes from all sports with equal expertise and purpose."
Dr. Robert Whitehead "Anthony has been an excellent coach and resource for my son, who is seeking to improve his hockey-specific strength in order to make his high school team. Anthony is knowledgeable, encouraging, and he stays abreast of the latest training applications. He's open minded enough to change his recommendations if new information warrants it, and he's motivating enough to keep young athletes interested. I'd recommend Donskov Strength and Conditioning to athletes or active people of any age who are seeking to improve their strength and fitness level."
Dr. Mitch Kanter "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."
Graham Rahal "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."
Pat Leahy "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 "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 "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."
Gordon Jones “Having Anthony work with our teams was a huge benefit to our kids and our program. My U18 players really took to Anthony’s passion and knowledge of hockey conditioning. The players benefited immensely from the in season maintenance program he ran for us. I can tell you his program reduced our time lost due to injury plus it had a positive influence on our game conditioning.”
Ed Gingher, Ohio AAA Blue Jackets Program Coordinator/U18 Head Coach "Having Anthony as our strength coach has been a huge benefit to our hockey club. With his strong hockey background, Anthony targets hockey specific muscles in unique ways which keeps our athletes interested and challenged. Core muscles are essentially a hockey player's foundation and these workouts are the perfect building blocks. The results have been impressive and easy to see. Our players look and feel stronger and have also found increased flexibilty which is often overlooked. As a coach, I have also noticed a little extra self confidence on the ice from the players that excel during the workouts. These players seem more willing to engage and ultimately win many more one on one battles as a result of the workout program."
Marty Laroche, Ohio AAA Blue Jackets U 16 Head Coach "I can't emphasize enough how important the Dryland Training we received from Donskov Conditioning was to our success this year. Our Skating, Stamina, and Power were all increased this year, leading to the winningest season in our 29 year history. We were able to maintain a high level of play throughout the entire game and be more physical due to our added strength and conditioning. I would recommend Anthony Donskov and his team at Donskov Conditioning to any team wanting to improve their chance for success."
John Graham Dear Mr. Donskov:
Douglas H. Drescher "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."
Alan F. Hoffmann “My family has known Anthony for several years! He is first and foremost a solid person and has achieved a lot in a short period of time. My entire family trains with Anthony and he has done a great job tailoring individual workouts for each member to attain their own specific goals. My son who plays hockey has benefited tremendously from Anthony’s workouts! My wife and I look forward to our workouts and I must say that I have never felt better. Anyone who wants the best in personal training for themselves or a family member should look no further.”
Gary Judis “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!”
Renee Heneman “I have always struggled with weight loss, and I have had probably 8 different personal trainers with little to no results. I think it's a motivation thing for me...so when I gained 45 lbs while pregnant, I was very worried about getting that and the additional weight off, and added to that, I had to be in my brother's wedding 3 months after having my son! Anthony has trained me since my son was 6 weeks old, and I am proud to say that my son is now 5 months old, and I have lost all of my baby weight and then some! Anthony puts all of his effort and energy into his clients, and his main goal is for them to succeed, above anything else. He is a great motivator, dedicated, and I give him my highest recommendation as a trainer.”
Zibbi Palmer Wentz "Having been an athlete for most of my life, working out is an important part of my physical and mental well-being. As a professional with a busy a schedule, however, it is difficult to fit it in, or so I thought. Anthony has gone out of his way to create workouts and accommodate my difficult schedule. He has helped me to meet my physical fitness goals and to have fun while doing it.”
Megan J. Browning "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." Christine Eggleston |
