What Our Collegues Are Saying...

"Donskov Strength & Conditioning is one of the premier training facilities in the country.  The biggest reason for this is its founder & head strength coach, Anthony Donskov. Donskov has established himself as one of the most knowledgeable and detail oriented coaches in the industry.  His passion for continuing to improve as a coach in order to enhance the performance of his athletes is rivaled only by his undeniable core values in which he runs his business.

Every aspect of the comprehensive development of his athletes fall under these core values and the athletes at DSC are immersed into a system of producing results.  There is a buy-in from the athletes and a collective culture of exceeding expectations from the coaches and interns.  Anthony Donskov is not only developing stronger, faster, and better conditioned athletes; but better young men and women."

What Professional Coaches Are Saying...

"Anthony possesses every quality you’d want in a great coach. He’s bright, motivational, passionate, disciplined, and hungry to get better. More importantly, he instills these same qualities in the athletes and coaches he interacts with. I’ve been fortunate to have opportunities to not only learn from Anthony, but to coach along side him. He’s truly one of best coaches in the country. If you’re in the Columbus, OH area, the best thing you could do for your athletic future is to check out Donskov Strength and Conditioning. Your results will speak for themselves."

Kevin Neeld
Head Performance Coach Boston Bruins
