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 is awesome!!!
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 that 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 2-3 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 to anyone looking to increase strength and muscle tone as well as cardio training and conditioning.… Verified
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!!…Read more ·
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 h Verified
A true professional! Ricky personalized my program that enabled my rehab from surgery and then segued into advancing my physical fitness. More importantly, he provided motivation through data-driven program planning, workout variety, and positive coaching while inducing pain that was actually rewarding and produced results! He has a presence and an attitude that just makes you want to be better and work harder! The ultimate trainer! Thanks Ricky…Read more
It's been a week since I've begun training with Ricky and I already feel the difference. I've set my long term goal for my fitness and Ricky is doing everything in his power to push and motivate me. His workouts are intense, but he keeps you going at a good rhythm. He makes sure you don't overexert yourself but still makes sure you are pushing your limits. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone at any fitness level.
Ingrid R. Personal Training 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.
Ricky is not only a talented PT but also a truly nice guy. He comes backed by a very impressive CV and a lengthy client list. It's also beyond mentally satisfying (great cardio and strength exercise as well) to take some jabs at the heavy or the speed bag. Ricky's gym is a welcome change from the slate of chain clubs. Old-fashioned and no-nonsense yet fully equipped and beyond welcoming.
Ricky Jackson is an outstanding trainer and his unique approach which mixes in boxing is outstanding.
I'm a healthcare professional, and though my personal health has always been a priority to me, a hectic personal life had begun to interfere with maintaining my physical health and endurance. I sought a personal trainer that I felt was experienced, and could quickly re-establish a healthy lifestyle for me. I was blessed to find Ricky Jackson. He is knowledgeable about diet and fitness. He quickly trained muscle groups and worked to increase my strength and endurance. My overall fitness has improved tremendously, quickly, under his direction. The sessions were always versatile, never boring. He will make you sweat, and push limits. With his expertise, you should quickly reach your fitness goals.…Read more
It's only been a month, but I already feel the difference and improvement in my fitness level. Ricky is personable but the sessions can be intense, which is a good thing for me. He also keeps you going with a good balance of cardio, resistance training, and boxing which keeps things from becoming tedious. He makes sure you don't overexert yourself but still keeps it challenging and progressive. I would highly recommend Ricky as a trainer.
