12 week progressive Training Plan that encompasses everything from warm ups, to strength training. With options for each activity, there is built in flexibility so that you can work towards your goals within your current abilities.

If you are a golfer that hasn't been in the gym ever, or maybe you are returning after a long layoff, this is a great place to get started. The training here is built to usher in fitness qualities that benefit both health and performance, improve joint range of motion, increase work capacity, and increase potential for more swing speed.

The beginner plan is designed to achieve these goals with a lower training intensity to help smoothly introduce or reintroduce stress at tolerable levels while fitness is improved. This is not a "5 Minute Six Pack" program, we are in this for the long haul to have long lasting fitness and performance improvements. We hope that if you start here at the beginning, you will continue on through the Intermediate and Advanced programs to give you months of training under your belt.

Improve General Health & Range of Motion
Stretching and Mobility are often terms we hear in golf as the primary emphasis of a gym based routine. While we want to improve range of motion, we want to do this under load as best as we can. The golf swing is not a passive activity, it is a high speed, high force output action that asks a lot of your body. We aim to improve range AND strength through that range to improve your durability.

Strength
Both applying and being able to tolerate forces is crucial not only to golf but also everyday life. Whether we want to swing a golf club faster, not be in pain post golf practice, or not hurt a knee jumping off a curb as you run across the street, forces are at play. Improving your strength is the single best way to improve our performance and resiliency so we consider this a paramount target.
