A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is John Skokna
I’m an American Council of Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer who specializes in developing athletes and taking their game to the next level. My experience includes four years as the Supervisor of the Chicago Blackhawks NHL training facility, where I was immersed in a high-performance training environment. I’m also a former collegiate football player, having competed at both Ave Maria University and North Central College, where I learned firsthand the dedication and discipline required to excel in sports.
​
Training isn’t just my career—it’s my passion. I’ve dedicated my life to helping athletes and adults unlock their full potential through personalized coaching, real training, and a no-nonsense approach to results.
​
Born and raised in Hinsdale, I built the Skokna Strength Training Facility to be more than just a gym—it’s a premier destination where athletes can get stronger, faster, and more explosive, and where adults can train in a private, focused setting without the chaos and distractions of a big-box gym. With years of experience coaching athletes of all levels and working with everyday adults looking to get stronger and healthier, I know what it takes to help people achieve real, measurable, life changing results.
​
No gimmicks. No fluff. Just elite-level training, expert coaching, and a commitment to every single client who walks through the door.
​
If you're ready to put in the work, I’m ready to help you get there.
