Is this for you?

Golfers whose bodies are holding them back.

Most of the golfers we coach are over 50. Does this sound like you?

  • You want your distance and clubhead speed back.
  • You want a fuller turn and a freer swing.
  • Your back, knees or shoulders ache during or after a round.
  • You’ve had an injury or an operation and want to play well again.

How it works

Three steps to a programme built around you.

Step 1

Your evaluation

Before we build anything, we find out exactly what’s holding your golf back. We look at your mobility, strength, balance and movement in detail, including strength testing on VALD equipment (the same technology used by professional sports teams) and often your clubhead speed on the simulator.

We talk through your goals, your golf and any injuries or niggles, then explain what we found and what we’d do about it.

Step 2

Your programme and coaching

Jon designs your programme around what the evaluation found. You train with your coach 1-to-1 or in a small group of up to three at our Dronfield studio, or online through our app, wherever you live.

Between sessions you get short routines in the app, so the work carries on at home without taking over your week.

Step 3

Retest and keep improving

We retest your numbers regularly and adjust the plan as your body changes, so you can see your progress in the numbers and on the course.

Clients can also book our large golf simulator for practice or swing work all year round.

Get started

Start with a short form and a 10-minute call. No obligation: if it isn’t right for you, we’ll say so.

Ways to train

Train the way that suits you.

However you train, you get short routines in our app to do between sessions.

1-to-1 coaching

Sessions with your coach at our private studio in Dronfield, usually 60 minutes.

Small groups

Up to three people per session at the studio, each on their own programme.

Online coaching

Your programme in our app, with regular check-ins and feedback from your coach, wherever you live.

Coaching costs £40–£75 a week, depending on how often you train and whether it’s 1-to-1, a small group or online. We’ll recommend the right option on your call.

Questions

Your questions, answered.

Is this right for my age, fitness or injury?
Almost certainly. Most of our golfers are over 50 and have never been gym people: golf is what gets them training. Nearly all of them start with something, like a stiff back, a sore knee or shoulder, or an old operation. Your programme starts from where you are, and you don’t need to be fit to begin.
How much does it cost?
Coaching costs £40–£75 a week, depending on how often you train and whether you train 1-to-1, in a small group or remotely. We’ll recommend the right option on your call.
Am I tied into a contract?
No. Coaching is a monthly plan, paid by Direct Debit, and you can stop it with notice rather than being tied in for a year. If you miss a session, you don’t lose it: it carries over, so holidays and busy weeks aren’t a problem.
Can I train with you if I don’t live nearby?
Yes. Remote coaching gives you the same programming our studio clients get, in our coaching app, with regular check-ins and feedback from your coach. We already coach golfers elsewhere in the UK and in the US. Tell us where you are when you get started.
How often do I need to train?
Most clients make the best progress with 2–3 sessions a week: 1–2 with your coach, plus short home sessions in the app. Most sessions with your coach are 60 minutes.
Who will be coaching me?
One of our coaches. Jon Hodgkinson, our Training Director, designs your programme and keeps track of your progress. Every coach follows his system, so you get the same quality whoever you train with.
Can I keep training in the golf season?
Yes, and we recommend it. Your progress keeps building in season, and stopping throws away what you’ve built. We plan your training around your golf.
Will it fit with my golf lessons?
Yes. We’re happy to work with your pro or swing coach, so your training supports the changes you’re making.
Can I use the golf simulator?
Yes. Clients can book it for practice or swing work all year round. We often use it in evaluations and retests too, to measure your clubhead speed.
