Antonio Coke
OWNER / INSTRUCTOR
With over 30 years of experience in group fitness instruction, athletic training, and in track and field, it is no surprise that Antonio Coke is one of the most sought after fitness professionals in Chicago.
Hailing from Montego Bay, Jamaica, Antonio began his fitness career in NYC shortly after earning his Master of Science in interior design from the prestigious Pratt Institute. He accompanied a friend to an open call looking for group fitness instructors. After booking the position he quickly rose in popularity and was featured in New York Sports Club ad campaigns and presented signature classes for New York Sports Club, Equinox, and Crunch Fitness.
Antonio found even more success after moving to Chicago. It was his innovative, sold-out classes at Fitness Formula Clubs that led to him to become their first ever exclusive group fitness instructor and a prominent feature in their ad campaigns.
It has always been his dream to combine his training in design with his passion and talent for fitness. Beyond that, however, it has been his mission to help people reach their fitness goals while building a community. With Bodi Shak, he will have accomplished both.
