Golf Fitness Trainer: Do You Need One

Golf fitness trainer is a term that has become very popular among tour players and golfers looking to improve their golf swing power and efficiency. But what is a golf fitness trainer and do you really need one?

Golf Fitness Credentials

I’m not a huge advocate pertaining to certificates on the wall. I believe in the “old school” approach is experience “on the street” in combination with adequate educational support.

At the least, a golf fitness trainer should have a college degree in either exercise physiology or sports training. Beyond that there are more and more golf fitness certifications popping up since it has become a lucrative career.

What I think is equally as important is the golf fitness trainers knowledge of the golf swing and muscles involved from a biomechanical standpoint. All you need to do is ask one of these trainers about golf swing mechanics, and you’ll know in less than 60 seconds if they even have a clue.

Golf Training Background

How many years has this golf fitness trainer worked in this specialty? I’m not talking about “general” fitness training; I’m talking about golf specific training. How many golf clients did he or she have or is currently working with? What kind of success did the golf clients achieve? Place a phone call or two and you’ll find out real quick.

Golf Swing Improvement

If you are looking to improve your golf swing power, mechanics and consistency…a credible golf fitness trainer can help you achieve these goals much quicker.

Why?

Because a golf fitness trainer will assess your physical limitations and golf swing faults and prescribe a golf strength and flexibility routine to eliminate these limitations and correct your golf swing faults.

Your body dictates your golf outcome! When you address the above concerns with the guidance of a golf fitness trainer, your golf swing will transform. Your body will finally do what you mind has wanted it to do all along!

Golf Exercise Commitment

One very important aspect a golf fitness trainer can bring to the table is adherence to your golf training program. Your consistency with your program will ultimately determine your outcome. Your golf performance will dramatically improve if you are consistent…and will not if you quit early or don’t give your body a chance to improve.

Your golf fitness trainer will be your motivator! Constantly reminding you of the reason to continue. A better golf game! Keeping the “end-goal” in mind makes the journey much easier.
