“I’ve been golfing for nearly 50 years and JHGF have given me a new lease of life in the game. Aches & pains are much reduced, I’ve regained distance off the tee, and I’m also able to play 36 holes per day when required. This was unthinkable a couple of years ago.”
Tim Pickford, 62 · 8 handicap“Even though I am only 2 weeks in, I am already swinging with a wider arc due to better posture and have gained distance off the tee.”
John Thorpe, 14 handicap“The team have helped me reduce my shoulder pain and increase flexibility. I feel so much better after a round now.”
Keith Wragg, 18 handicapThey’re great at explaining what we are doing and why. Knowing that every exercise and workout is targeted at my weaknesses gives me a clear incentive to stick with it. Also, the sessions are short and easy to fit into the day. They know what they’re talking about and can improve anybody’s performance!
“I have been amazed at the results—I’ve gained 10 yards off the tee, am consistently hitting the ball in the center of the club, and I’m starting to sometimes hit my iron shots to the back of the green or over.”
The individualized feedback throughout has been excellent, and the team’s astounding knowledge of how different muscle groups affect the golf swing gives me confidence that every exercise is making a real difference.
This program has not only improved my golf game but also my overall health—helping me push back against the physical limitations I thought were inevitable. I may never swing like I did 25 years ago, but I’ve learned that you don’t have to just accept decline—you can fight it.
“After just 1 month of training my average ball speed had gone from 133mph to 146mph with a max speed of 152mph. Now, my average ball speed is 150mph and max speed is 161mph.”
Paul Druce, 5 handicapNot only am I seeing greater ball speed, but I’m in less pain both on the course and in general. My posture has also improved and I have a better understanding of how muscle groups work and how they influence different parts of a golf swing. If someone is keen to both improve their golf and strengthen their body, JHGF offer a great solution with continuous feedback and encouragement.
“In just 6 weeks, pain in my lower back and hips has reduced so much that I often forget about it completely.”
I had been struggling with pain and stiffness in my lower back for a long time. I would do some stretching before playing, which helped for the first 2 or 3 holes, but then the pain would get worse throughout the round. It was destroying my enjoyment of golf. Recovery after a round would take at least 48 hours. At one point, the pain got so bad I had to stop playing altogether for 2 months.
The team understood my issues and provided me with a tailored exercise routine, from which I’ve been reaping the rewards. The exercise regime has also spurred me on dietary wise and I’ve lost 17lbs in weight. My decision to work with JHGF is paying dividends.
“The team are so engaging and after 8 weeks my flexibility has improved massively. There’s a very big difference in my positions from the initial assessment and now.”
Jon Caley, 7.8 handicapI was struggling with my golf due to a lack of flexibility and a long-standing hip issue. I’d heard very positive things about JHGF from the Pro and golfers at my club so was convinced to see if they could help me. I’m excited to continue to improve further.
“Before starting, I wasn’t sure how much a fitness programme could really help my golf swing. But working with Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness has made a big difference.”
I’ve now got better movement in key areas, which is helping me hit the ball more consistently.
What’s impressed me most is how personalised the programme has been. Exercises were chosen that not only addressed my physical limitations but also supported the specific changes my golf coach is working on with me. I’ve gained flexibility, improved my balance, and now have a clear plan to keep progressing.
“The team tailor the workouts to my level and I come away from sessions feeling rejuvenated and not exhausted.”
Emily Charlesworth, 58 · 14 handicapTheir knowledge and enthusiasm keep me motivated and I am reaping the benefits. Every week I notice an improvement in my strength and flexibility. My advice is that you don’t have to live with a weak & tired old body, working with JHGF is an investment in your future!
“I have worked with JHGF for many moons and their understanding and knowledge of biomechanics along with their attentiveness is second to none. They’re also damned good golfers.”
Tim Vaughan, 28 handicap“The team have helped me reduce pain and stiffness and now I’m hitting it further and straighter. Friends who I have played with for years have commented on the difference.”
Andy Styan, 51 · 19 handicapI was worried about how much time I would need to commit to the programme, but the routines are short and easy to fit in. The work I’ve done with JHGF has improved my enjoyment of my favourite activity and I’m confident they could do the same for golfers of any level of ability or physical condition.
“I used to be in agony with my back but I haven’t had any pain since I started training with JHGF.”
“Remote training absolutely works when you have the right coach.”
I was concerned about keeping up with workouts and whether remote training would actually work. JHGF made it easy — they were relatable, responsive, and customized everything based on my feedback.
The results have been dramatic. My mobility improved significantly, my core strength and balance are much better (I’d honestly given up on balance), and my stamina has increased. The golf warm-up routine alone has helped me get rounds off to great starts. I’ve already recommended JHGF to friends.
“I was sceptical about how more strength and mobility would benefit my golf, but since I started training with JHGF I’ve developed more speed and a better turn in my backswing.”
Matt Brown, 8.2 handicapThis has given me a better swing path and better impact positions. I’m also much more balanced in the golf swing, so have found more consistency. Physically my body has changed a lot and I’m feeling stronger and more confident every week.
I’m not local to JHGF so I train remotely via their app. Initially, I wasn’t sure how well this would work but I’ve found the feedback and check-ins really keep me motivated and make me take ownership of the work. The workouts are varied and enjoyable. In the past, I tried speed sticks, my own training plans and joining gyms, but never had any structure so didn’t get results. This is easily the best exercise programme I’ve been involved in.
“I learned more about golf in 2 hours with the team than I have in the past 20 years of playing and having lessons.”
Paul Hemlin, 8 handicap“In just a few months working with JHGF I have already seen massive improvements in what my body can do.”
Keir Stockdale, ProI feel much stronger and looser which is a great feeling when playing and practicing. Sessions are very specific to my needs and the coaches are great at explaining how moves and exercises can benefit my swing which as a player and coach is great to hear!
“I’d never set foot in a gym before, so I genuinely wondered if I was up to it. But it’s made me more supple, stronger, and I can feel it working.”
I’m not tired after a full round anymore, I’m not aching, and I’m hitting the ball further. I’d recommend it because, simply, it works.
“The team are good guys and knowledgeable in their field. If you are serious about improving your golf then being in good physical shape to do so is important.”
Gareth Davies, ProThe way they package their programs in conjunction with the app will give you more motivation and allow you to really track how well and effectively you are doing what you are meant to be, which is a big part of really getting better.
“My mobility has improved, my golf yardages have improved and I feel confident that I can further reduce my single figure handicap.”
Ian Goodwin, 6.4 handicapApart from the golf benefit I feel more energised with better overall fitness. Any golfer from total beginner to pro would benefit from working with JHGF.
“I am driving the ball an extra 25 yards. My overall flexibility has improved and my body feels much stronger. I was impressed with the way the team layer the exercises to first improve flexibility, then build strength and finally add power.”
Chris Benton, 65 · 19 handicap“The depth of knowledge and easy-going coaching style, along with a logical approach to building a programme specific to my needs, is quite unique in my experience.”
Mark Bentley, PGA ProIf anyone is searching for a golf fitness specialist who truly understands how the body works and wants to address their own specific needs, I’d be delighted to recommend Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness. The positive results we’ve achieved have definitely helped me to play better golf.
“I wanted to be fit enough to play every day and JHGF have made that possible. Not only that, but since I started working with them my pain levels have gone down and my swing is far more fluid.”
John Oates, 57 · Pro“I can’t say enough on how professional the team are at their craft, really enjoying the progress I’m making already.”
Jason Ripley, Pro“Rather than spending £600+ on a new driver, I decided to invest in my fitness instead. The programme has already helped me improve my flexibility after 6 weeks.”
Ian Saxton, 7 handicapI had a poor season last year and it was affecting my enjoyment of the game. I knew I had lost a lot of flexibility. The workouts are comprehensive, I enjoy doing them knowing my improvements are measurable. The team are very knowledgeable and just as enthusiastic about improving my golf as I am.
“The personalised exercises have completely eliminated the pain in my lower back. Overall, everything just feels that bit better. I’ve also noticed increased flexibility and feel more motivated to keep exercising.”
“I honestly can’t recommend Beth enough. I didn’t even realise how tight my back was until she worked on it. I left feeling lighter, more mobile, and genuinely better in my body.”
“Couldn’t recommend Beth more. She is so knowledgeable and has gone out of her way to sort my back and shoulder issues out.”
“Beth listens really closely and makes sure the massage is tailored to your issues. I left feeling refreshed and so much looser.”
“This was my first sports massage and Beth made me feel at ease and explained the process the whole way through. I feel like I have a new back.”
“Beth’s great at routing out the pain in my back and applying different techniques to fix it.”
“Recommended by a friend and couldn’t be happier. Much better at fixing my back aches than anywhere I’d been previously.”
