Jackson Hardin

I’ve worked with Jackson since mid July, my first professional trainer. His step by step approach to creating my custom workout schedule led me to re-​up my classes 3 times. He worked around my knee and shoulder injuries, finding ways to strengthen both and give the rest of the body a great work out as well. Love how he mixes the exercises, machines and free weights. I feel better and for the first time in many years (I’m 68) I feel like I’m on my way to a stronger, healthier body and have improved balance.
I really like the schedule Jackson created for me on evernote that I refer to on days when I’m not working with him in person. It keeps me honest and working toward my goals. i plan to continue working with Jackson!

I have been working with Jackson since February of this year, and he has completely changed how I feel about going to the gym! I initially sought him out to get in shape for my wedding in June, but am going to continue working with him as he is so awesome. I was really nervous at the beginning but he was so patient and showed me how to use the machines at the gym as well as proper form and provided nutritional advice. He has also some great videos on his YouTube page, so if I ever forget how to do something, I can just go there and look!
Jackson has helped me get in shape and not be afraid of going to the gym! He created a custom plan for me leading up to the wedding and is continuing to help me find the best workouts for staying in shape afterwards. We have fun in our sessions and he is really easy to get along with and talk to. Bonus points for how easy it is to communicate with him and his flexibility in scheduling, as my work schedule can be insane and I have to change days and times constantly. Don’t hesitate to contact Jackson if you are just starting to work out or just need an extra boost!

When I met Jackson half a year ago, I was not in a good shape. I was scrawny, weak and couldn’t climb two flights of stairs without feeling like I’m about to get a heart attack.
Jackson helped me get much, much better. He will tailor the routine to your needs and abilities, never pushing you too far, but at the same time not letting you get too comfortable. He will inspire you if you need motivation, have a conversation with you if you need distraction, or give you instructions if you just need someone to tell you what to do.
I haven’t seen his kickboxing side (he sounds experienced though), but he’s a great trainer and just a cool dude.

I’ve been working with Jackson for a few months and am so happy to have found him. He has taught me a great deal about exercise and diet and is very patient and encouraging. As someone who was shy about joining a gym and who felt really overwhelmed trying to find a pathway to better health, I cannot thank Jackson enough for lighting my way. He does a lot of work outside the gym as well – from creating training plans to sending encouraging texts to discussing mindfulness and meditation. It feels like you have a solid partner to help you reach your goals. Highly recommended!

I’ve been training kickboxing with Jackson for a while. I moved to Seattle and tried so many different classes such as yoga, crossfit, pilates and spinning but Jackson’s has been my favorite so far. The class is very entertaining and always different, I love to train with him because I always leave the workout satisfied and excited to take the next lesson. A highly recommended coach! He does an awesome job. Definitely one of the things I will miss the most when I leave Seattle. :)

Jackson is awesome and super encouraging for people of all skill levels. The kickboxing sessions are fun, easy going, yet challenging. I’ve trained elsewhere but didn’t quite get that «spark» of commitment until I started with Jackson. A lot is your own personal commitment, which is fueled by a trainer’s passion and knowledge. Jackson provides that enthusiasm at every level.

I’ve been training with Jackson for about a year now and he’s really helped me to achieve amazing results. I’d tried all kinds of different exercise classes from pilates to spin but felt like I needed to have my workouts tailored to see a change. Jackson has been awesome. He’s a really positive influence and takes his work seriously but still has a good sense of humor! He helps you with an overall plan so you’re not just guessing about your workouts or what to eat and when. He works with all types of fitness levels and ages so he has a well-​rounded understanding of fitness – working with injuries and just figuring out what motivates his clients. Highly recommend!

I have trained with Jackson for the past 6 months, generally seeing him twice a week for 45 minutes in group classes. He’s an upbeat, positive person, constantly encouraging you to do your best and, equally as important, to do activities right. He does a good job at scaling activities for all skill and fitness abilities. I have seen him work effectively with both men and women. I highly recommend Jackson as a personal trainer and as a group instructor (kickboxing at The Seattle Gym).

Jackson is a knowledgeable, easy to get along with trainer, who, most importantly will show you how to get results!
In addition to fitness training, Jackson will also give you pointers on maintaining motivation, strengthening willpower, and creating positive habits.
