Career
Warner moved to California at the age of 18. She has worked as a model, actor, and a script coordinator for Warner Brothers, eventually writing and selling her own script. Warner is currently a professional personal trainer.
Athletic from an early age, Warner played inter-collegiate soccer and softball, and has been a lifelong equestrian competitor.
Work Out show
In 2004, Warner opened Sky Sport and Spa. On July 19, 2006, the Bravo network aired the first episode of Work Out. The reality show's first season followed Warner's daily routine, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Warner runs her day-to-day business, juggles her personal life with then-girlfriend Milenna (Mimi) Saraiva, and deals with her employees' personal issues.
On March 18, 2007, Bravo launched a second season of "Work Out," where it continues to show Warner handling her personal life and controversial relationship with employee Rebecca Cardon, launching a new business venture, integrating a new trainer (Gregg Butler) into the mix, and dealing with the sudden death of trainer Doug Blasdell.
There was much debate over her relationship with Rebecca, whom she began to casually date during the filming of the second season late 2006. In April 2007, Jackie stated during the Work Out "Reunion" show that due to the attention they have received, the relationship was to be kept private until decided otherwise.
As seen on season three, Jackie dated, and lived with, a 25-year-old bartender named Brianna Stockton. At the end of season three, Jackie and Brianna appeared to have ended their relationship.
Bravo cancelled the show after Season 3 of Work Out, which created much controversy. In the May 6, 2008 episode Jackie and her SkySport office manager Lisa were overheard in Jackie's office gossiping negatively about the physical appearance of trainer Brian Peeler's client. Brian and his client were both working out several feet away from the office. The client turned out to be well-known fitness model and breast cancer survivor Jamie Eason. Negative comments were made regarding Jamie's breast implants and were overheard by Eason's boyfriend, who was right outside Jackie's office, unbeknownst to Jackie. The actual footage was not shown by Bravo, but Jamie's boyfriend Rich Luzzi, as well as Jamie Eason herself, have stated that Jackie made most of the negative comments and Lisa only chimed in. Lisa said later in her Bravo blog that Jackie was heard making negative comments by Jamie Eason's boyfriend.
Jackie denied making any comments herself, both in her on-the-air commentary and on her Bravo blog after. When Brian Peeler tried to discuss the situation with her, Jackie refused to do so and fired Brian. This turn of events, when aired, caused a media maelstrom of protests, petitions, and calls to cancel Work Out due to perceived inappropriate workplace behavior by Jackie, her alleged attempts to deflect blame and to cover up her supposed part in the situation, and her lack of an apology. The episode aired on May 6, and by May 9 Gatorade, a major sponsor of the show, dropped its sponsorship and publicly criticized the comments about a breast cancer survivor made on the program. The show was cancelled shortly afterward, and Warner sold Sky Sport and Spa in 2009.
In the summer of 2010, Warner appears in promotional commercials for the Bravo network, appearing alongside stars of current Bravo series and possibly suggesting a return to the network.
Thintervention show
On July 27, 2010, Bravo announced that Jackie Warner would return to the network in September 2010 with Thintervention with Jackie Warner. This new fitness show followed Jackie as she helps a group of eight clients lose weight, including former Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough.

2017 Arrest
As of April 2017, Warner faces one felony count of assault upon a peace officer and one misdemeanor count each of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol content and hit-and-run driving resulting in property damage. Warner pleaded not guilty to the charges. On Feb. 24, 2017, Warner allegedly crashed into an electrical pole near Holloway Drive and Hacienda Place in West Hollywood while driving under the influence, prosecutors said. Warner reportedly then drove to a nearby convenience store where a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy attempted to detain her. Warner allegedly backed her vehicle toward the deputy before striking the patrol car. Jackie was not convicted of the DUI crime, but she'll be on informal probation for 2 years, attend a 12 hour alcohol education course and pay a fine.
Personal life
Warner is a lesbian and her show chronicled her relationships with four different women. After her last relationship with her girlfriend Brianna deteriorated, Warner stated on the show that she would no longer be dating women so much significantly younger than herself. On her show, she is depicted as regularly seeing a therapist to discuss relationships and other problems. In an earlier season of her show, Warner made a pilgrimage to her hometown in Ohio and visited her father's grave. She revealed on the show that her father had suffered from mental illness and had committed suicide years earlier.
