Find a personal trainer

When you want to move to the next level, it makes sense to turn to a professional. However, one aspect of golf that many golfers overlook is their fitness. One of the best ways to improve your golf fitness it to find a trainer who can design a programme for you. There are thousands of fitness pros out there, but finding the right one can sometimes be difficult. That's where our find the trainer service can help. You can search by town or postcode, and within seconds we will provide a comprehensive list of fitness professionals in your area.

These days many pros work almost as hard on their fitness as they do on the technical aspects of their game. If you analyse what goes in to a successful golf swing, it's not hard to see why - a good golf swing requires a combination of flexibility, power and speed, all servicing the ultimate aim of a technically smooth swing. And to produce that good swing consistently through 18 rounds also requires endurance.

When you meet a fitness professional, you need to discuss your needs with them. What you want is a custom designed programme that takes into account your needs (e.g. to improve your golf game), and also any history you may have of illnesses or injuries. Any programme should be varied and progressive, to allow you to gradually improve without overtaxing yourself. If you haven't worked-out for a while, or have any history, be sure to consult a doctor before you start.

Chances are, once you start to see the effects on not only your golf game but also your overall health and appearance, you'll never want to stop working out!
