Golf Performance

Golf strength & conditioning

Golf strength and conditioning is a specialised approach to enhancing a golfer’s game by developing the physical qualities that directly impact the swing. The golf swing is a complex movement requiring coordinated effort from various muscle groups to move the club head effectively through impact and follow-through.

Through evidence-based physical training, movement optimisation and structured plans you can develop the "engine" behind your golf swing and improve performance on the course.

What?

Training methodology that addresses physical capabilities, movement patterns and golf-specific fitness to enhance your performance on the course.

How?

Through golf physical assessments, personalised training programmes, strength and conditioning, flexibility and mobility training and ongoing tracking.

Why?

Improving mobility, strength and power directly translates to better performance, lower scores, and reduced injury risk.

Testimonials

What golfers are saying

All testimonials
“I wanted to increase my swing speed, get more control when swinging faster, and build strength to help avoid injuries. Since starting, I’ve built more core strength and felt my upper body was getting stronger. The combination of different exercises really helped, and I’ve felt supported throughout the process. Josh was always on hand to answer any specific questions I had and tweak the plan when things weren’t working for me. If another golfer was unsure about golf fitness, I’d highly recommend it. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface, and I’ll be picking it up again to build more explosive power and strength.”
IIain Davie6-Week Golf Performance
“It's particularly intresting now being able to relate certain physical restrictions to swing faults. Josh is an extremely knowledgeable and approachable trainer, so I throughly recommend anyone who wants to improve their game to give this a go.”
Leigh Medhurst16.4 HCP
“Josh is very thorough and clearly explains how each assessment relates to the golf swing and performance. It quickly highlighted areas that need improvement, and how targeted training can address them.”
