Are you ready to finally knock out your fitness goals?

Ten (10) Time Trainer of the Year (Houston Awards Program and BBB (2013-2022) Ricky Jackson is ready to show you how and, as a world-recognized professional boxer, he’s not satisfied with just a knockout. When you train with Ricky Jackson, you’re deciding to be a world-class winner. You’re taking responsibility for your health and well-being and going the distance to finally reach your goals instead of just talking about them and failing to take action. Let a champion show you how.

Over the last four decades, there is hardly an element of fitness that Jackson hasn’t conquered. He’s dominated not only collegiate athletics but his endeavors at the professional level, as well. Not to mention his collaborative efforts as the director of numerous athletic programs and a one-on-one coach and personal trainer. In 2013, he was honored for his achievements, work ethic, and commitment to his students and clients by receiving the Personal Trainer of the Year award in his hometown of Houston, Texas. It was a hard-won honor Ricky takes tremendous pride in, just as he’s humbled and appreciative for all of the acknowledgments he’s received. Jackson started hammering out his professional reputation and legacy by becoming a professional prizefighter in 1989.

Bypassing the amateur ranks thanks to his training standards, ...impeccable strength, and conditioning knowledge, world-class skill, and indomitable desire to succeed, Jackson made boxing history when he fought for the first and only World Boxing Union Super Cruiserweight title in 1995. Over the course of his boxing career, Jackson worked with many of the top promoters and trainers ever to grace the boxing world; including Emauel Silver Fox Resio, Lou Duva, George Benton, Emanuel Stewart, Eddie Futch, Tommy Brooks, Don Turner, Jessie Reid, G.L. Van Horn, Curtis Cokes, Cedric Kushner, Aaron Snowell and many others. In 1998, he decided to sign with legendary manager Don King. Jackson would remain with King until 2000. He decided to finally retire in 2001. Over the span of that long and impressive career, he left an indelible mark with a stunning record of 26 overall wins, 4 overall losses, and 18 KO’s. Apart from boxing, Jackson poured himself into 128-plus hours studying human performance at Texas Southern University (TSU).

His experiences there— particularly the education he received from the many great trainers/coaches he had the opportunity to work directly with— provided Ricky with the power to develop training programs that have led to phenomenal results for his countless satisfied clients. Jackson would go on to spend seven years as the supervising head of the strength and conditioning program at TSU. Overseeing 18 different sports within the athletic program at TSU, Jackson received a huge amount of praise and recognition for his efforts to develop the school’s weight room into a fully-functional training facility for all of the athletic program’s talent.

He would go on to parlay that training experience at TSU into careers as a personal trainer and boxing instructor at the Briar’s Club, ...

and a lengthy stay at the Houstonian Trellis Spa where he personally directed the youth camp program for children of the exclusive health club’s members. While at the Houstonian Trellis Spa he spearheaded many innovative and exciting programs for the youth and strove to create a state-of-the-art fitness program for children ages 3 – 12. He has also actively helped young clients lacking in confidence and those with low self-esteem go from being bullied to taking back their lives as he trained them mentally as well as physically in efforts to empower them with information, confidence, and techniques to produce life changing results in their everyday life. Obstacles that once knocked them out, with Ricky’s help, became pillars of strength that allowed these young clients to overcome, being no longer down for the count, and become revived, refreshed, reset, reprogrammed mentally and physically, and most importantly motivated, deciding to live in action while daily striving to be a winner…

As a humanitarian, Jackson has donated his time and seemingly boundless energy to countless philanthropic efforts for community organizations in the Houston, Texas area. He has been honored with the Young Black Achiever Award and the Positive Influential African American Male Award. Bob Lanier, the former mayor of Houston, recognized Ricky’s many contributions to the city by establishing July 23, 1996, as “Ricky Action Jackson Day.”
