What is Southside Knockout Training Center?
Southside Knockout Training Center is a fitness center established in 2008 on the south side of Chicago. Southside Knockout offers classes for all levels of athletic ability for youths and adults.
Bryan Harney (Owner)
Founder & owner of Southside Knockout Training Center in Chicago, IL, wrestled at Michigan State University on a full scholarship. He was named Illinois Athlete of the Year as a senior. He was a 2X Illinois State Champion, 3X State Place winner and was the starting running back on his H.S. 2002 state championship team. Because of Bryan’s extensive background in athletics for the past 22 years he has been able to formulate an intense and successful workout regime.
At Southside Knockout my coaching staff I have the privilege of coaching a diverse set of clients. Each client has an obstacle they are trying to overcome.
Wrestlers want to be state champions. MMA fighters want to step out of octagon with a victory.
But almost 100% of our clients here are not wrestlers or a MMA fighters. So what are their obstacles? They mainly revolve around weight loss or just simply feeling healthier and more confident. I have pretty much always had an all or nothing attitude when it comes to sports and training. We don’t ask for that same type of approach from our clients, we pretty much demand it.
That being said, not every client who walks through the doors at SKT has been able to make that commitment to him or her selves and us.
But thank god for the ones who do!
It is the most gratifying accomplishment for me. I guess you can say that is my obstacle to overcome. Making clients see their full potential is what drives my staff and I everyday.
Whether you are an extreme fitness enthusiast or new to the workout world, we will challenge you!
The life changing improvements are limitless to those who stick around. I am not just talking about physical appearance either and believe me we have that too. Just look at our Success Photos page.
I am more referring to day to day tasks becoming easier than ever before. Not only looking your best in years, but more importantly feeling your best. If you decide to take on the Southside Knockout challenge, I promise life changing results both physically and mentally!
