Coach Ricky is like a sport parent to me! Really helped me get in boxing shape and worked really well overall with me. I am working towards coach Ricky being my only coach for life! I do not even feel comfortable with any other coach coaching me because, coach Ricky knows both my strength and weakness and me generally.

Very active and mental with flexible workout to help whole body

First class act! Highly recommend!

Ricky, the fitness saves my life. The doctors said had I not been in such great shape I may have died. Two cysts and my uterus wall finally ruptured and blood and fluid went into my abdomen and pelvic cavity. Had I not been so fit my body would not have been able to make it. I had emergency surgery and the endometriosis had taken over everything and grown into my spine and pelvic ligaments, colon, and organs. No wonder I was hurting so badly. Anyway, after I recover in 6 weeks I should be way better and in no pain and able to get into the best shape ever. Thanks for training me. It literally saved my life!…
Mr. Ricky is AWESOME!!! He keeps his clients focused on their goals through positive motivation and encouragement. He has a high level of knowledge in regard to the client he is working with. He knows what he is teaching. He mixes different exercises together including BOXING which makes it more fun( you won't get bored at all :). We all have different needs when it comes to fitness and Mr. Ricky is the right trainer who can help us to reach our needs or desired goals. I am glad that I chose the right trainer who can help me to reach my goal :)
Ricky is a very personable, professional, and reliable personal trainer who is helping me achieve my goals of long-term weight loss and strength training. He tailors fitness regimes to the individual and varies the routine on a weekly basis so it never becomes tedious. I highly recommend Ricky if you are serious about getting fit and want a trainer who will go the extra mile to help you reach your goals.
Ricky is great! My boyfriend and I have been doing group in-home training (so convenient) with Ricky 2-to 3 times a week for the past few months and I've really noticed a difference in my overall fitness and strength. His scheduling is very flexible so just about anytime I want to work out, he's available. Ricky's style is very different than working out alone. He works the whole body using a mixture of approaches that keeps me from getting bored or falling into a rut. Also, I LOVE the boxing! Also, Ricky's a nice guy. But be warned: he's tough. The first month I felt like I wanted to throw up - and that was just after the warm up! I'd highly recommend Ricky for anyone looking to increase strength and muscle tone as well as cardio training and conditioning.…Read more
Just through luck, I found Ricky via a Google search and I am so glad that I did. I have worked out off and on over the past several years but wanted to get back to being the best I could be. Ricky has been great at getting me to give my all, and the results I have gotten in just a few months really show it. Ricky takes great pride in his profession and is a real pleasure to work with, now my wife has also seen the light and she is working out with us as well. There is no way I would be able to attain what I have to date without Ricky's help, he is worth every penny. Thanks!!…
Fantastic! Couldn't be happier with Ricky. Highly recommend his services.
Ricky is excellent. He is knowledgeable and very professional in his training. Ricky has the experience to draw upon so he can design a workout program that fits my exact needs. I have been working out with Ricky for 8 months now and am completely satisfied. I have worked out with numerous other personal trainers but I have never been as well trained as I am with Ricky. I HIGHLY recommend Ricky.
Ricky is a great Trainer and I really enjoyed working with him. I really enjoyed boxing with him and will most likely use him in the future. Thanks Ricky.
Mr. Jackson traveled over to give my husband a complete workout analysis. He was very attentive to my husband's needs and medical. I would strongly recommend Mr. Jackson. Very impressive.
Excellent trainer!
