Thanks everyone!
People replace the skewer, also called the quick-release, or QR, because some skewers won't fit in some trainers. Take a look at it after you get the bike in there. Does it lock in, or does it look like it might pop out? Some trainers were sold with a skewer for this reason. If yours fits in there correctly, no problem.
