Are you training hard at the gym but not seeing improvements in your golf game? The issue might be what you're training for—not how hard you're training. 

Why General Gym Training Isn't Enough for Golfers

Whilst you may already have a gym membership or even a personal trainer, are you really clear about the objective of your fitness training? Are you thinking about quality movement in vertical, pull, push and chopping patterns? What about the type of training and exercise selection to improve your game? If you’re not addressing your training sessions with golf specific movement it could be time to get focused.

The Focus of General Fitness Programs 

In a traditional gym setting fitness programmes tend to be fairly broad with a big focus on weight loss and muscle gain which is great if your goal is weight loss and muscle gain, and when I worked in a big box gym that was 95% of my clients. But as a golfer who wants to move better for golf don’t you want something more specific than the average Joe in the gym?

Limitations for Golfers at Traditional Gyms

Sitting on machines at the gym doing 3 sets of 10 or training like a bodybuilder instead of golf specific fitness isn’t going to make a huge difference on your golf performance. General fitness plans will deliver general results, and don’t get me wrong this is great if general fitness is your goal.

I was a personal trainer for many years before specialising in golf fitness, and the way I train my general fitness clients and my golf fitness clients differs greatly. Not all programmes are the same, my programmes are created specifically for each client based on how their body moves currently, their unique goals and of course any limitations or injuries.
