We believe a great swing starts with a healthy body. Our programs integrate personal fitness assessments and routines designed to build the core strength and stability necessary for a powerful, consistent golf game.

A typical lesson will start out with some stretching designed to prepare your body for the golf swing. Then we’ll move into 10 - 15 minutes of warm-up exercises designed to improve flexibility and strength based off your current condition. Once we’ve raised your heart rate a bit we’ll transition to practice that may focus on grip, ball striking, hitting drills, etc. As the practice concludes we’ll go over some post-round stretching exercise to aid in recovery and relaxation.

Yes! We incorporate specialized stretching and mobility work into our training. Improving your flexibility helps increase your range of motion, which can lead to longer drives and a significantly lower risk of golf-related injuries.

While our holistic approach is most effective, we do offer targeted sessions. You can choose to focus primarily on swing mechanics or dedicate time to golf-specific physical conditioning depending on your needs.tem description.
