ABOUT- Jon Thaxton

Jon Thaxton – Retired Boxer, Personal Trainer, and Motivational Speaker in Norwich, Norfolk

Jon Thaxton is a retired professional boxer, certified personal trainer, motivational speaker, and anti-bullying advocate based in Norwich, Norfolk. He is also the co-founder of Able2B, a community interest company helping children and adults with disabilities improve their physical ability. Through his work across Norfolk and East Anglia, Jon continues to inspire people from all walks of life.

Throughout his 17-year professional boxing career, Jon Thaxton secured both British and European lightweight titles. However, his success was not just down to physical strength. It also required discipline, focus, and mental resilience. He always believed in pushing himself to the top and never accepted being second-best.

Like many athletes, Jon experienced highs and lows. In 1996 and 1997, he won two major titles. Unfortunately, he lost both in 1998. Nevertheless, he stayed determined and worked hard to make a comeback. Although a serious road accident interrupted his progress, he eventually returned stronger. Between 2005 and 2008, he captured more titles, proving his strength and determination.

After retiring from boxing, Jon shifted his focus to helping others. Today, he works as a personal trainer in Norwich, supporting clients across Norfolk in reaching their fitness goals. His training combines physical coaching with motivation and mindset development. In addition, Jon speaks at schools, events, and organisations across East Anglia, where he shares his story and life lessons.

Moreover, through Able2B, Jon creates tailored fitness programmes for people with disabilities. These programmes improve strength, movement, and confidence. As a result, his clients feel more independent and empowered. He brings energy and compassion to everything he does.

Whether he’s training clients, mentoring young people, or giving motivational talks, Jon Thaxton remains committed to helping others grow. His passion, experience, and local roots make him a trusted figure in the Norwich and Norfolk community.

If you’re looking for expert support in fitness, motivation, or inclusive training, Jon offers inspiration and results in equal measure.
