Coach Jacksons Gym. Strength training, Wrestling & Track Clinics

Happy Birthday to my MARINE CORPS brothers and sisters. 250 years strong! Semper Fidelis.

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, at least 17,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 46,000 wounded in Israel's air and ground campaign. It came in response to the surprise Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people.

War is always deadly and the political reasons for war take a back seat when the death toll begins to rise.

Some pray for the Israelis, while others pray for the Palestinians.

I pray for a few of my former student Athletes, who are there in the fight standing with Israel. I pray that when the dust settles that they are still alive and in tact. These are Jewish American young adults who are willing to die for their people. It’s real and it’s personal.

Pray for someone, pray for peace. Gods will be done.

What a few clients had to say........(copied and pasted from Lessons.com)

What my father does isn't just his profession its also an art. He has trained thousands of individuals. Not only how to defend them selves, but to also strive to be better in everything they do. He went out of his way to teach me good discipline. Over the years I have seen many people go far in life that came from Coach Jacksons training! He provides a great atmosphere all around!! I won three state titles in wrestling under coach Jackson. I'm his daughter Jerlean. Thanks daddy!

My husband and I are huge fans of Coach Jackson. We are both seniors and went to see the coach to help us with training. We both want to stay fit and healthy for as long as we can. We found Coach Jackson to be knowledgeable in selecting routines for us both, taking into consideration any limitations we had. He is very patient and encouraging. We highly recommend him.

For four years, Coach jackson trained me to wrestle, better improve our strength with weight training, and conditioning, but it was much more than that. He taught me to improve my character and had changed my life for the better. He is easily the best trainer or Coach I have ever had.

Hayden on Thu Aug 03 2017



I had an overall amazing experience on the wresting team with Coach Jackson. He will push you to your absolute best ability, but compensate when needed. I learned to never give up during hard times, or when I had some doubt in my capabilities. He teaches discipline, he teaches you to be the man you're supposed to be.

Ken has been a great influence on my life including physical fitness training, dietary guidance, and outlook on life. His coaching style influences his students beyond the gym and I highly recommend trying his program if you're up for the challenge.

Dana Lavi-Saffron on Thu Aug 03 2017



I received a lot from coach. When I started at wrestling our team was far from being perfect. Everyone was on each other weight classes, a lot of us belonged to different groups in school. Coach didn't just teach us wrestling, Coach you inspired us. Inspired us with your stories and your methods. I am always impressed by my self for the things I accomplished during wrestling season, and until today I take the lessons I have learnt. I wasn't the best, but you did shape a 6"2, 140lb. Kid with 15%body fat and the next year I was 148lb. with 9% body fat. Coach shaped us all, and Coach gave us discipline. Throughout our hardships Coach made us a family. I am very thankful that I decided to do wrestling because the experience I received in wrestling. It was truly an honor having the opportunity to meet you Coach.

Coach Jackson was my coach and mentor since highschool. He taught me the fundamentals of wrestling and we progressed to advanced techniques throughout the years. He helped me reach my peak potential through diet and training. Not only was he an inspiration in the gym but he was supportive throughout my life. Coach Jackson has been a role model for me throughout my life and I am forever grateful to him. Words cannot describe how much he has impacted me positively. Coach, I love you. Thank you for all you have done for me!

With over 30 years of wrestling and training experience, Coach Jackson's knowledge and expertise has helped bring positive results and improvements on myself as well as countless others. His coaching leads not only to physical improvements, but also mentally, through instilling a true work ethic into those he puts his time towards. Overall a life changing coach and mentor.

No if and's or buts. Coach Jackson is a standup guy. If you need somebody to talk to your son or daughter straight up and straight forward, Coach Jackson is that person. He is a motivator and a sounding board. He is a good man.
