We’ve cast aside convention and created a unique hybrid training model that provides optimal results while greatly reducing the time and financial costs of achieving your golf fitness goals!
Currently, golfers looking for help to improve their golf-specific flexibility, stamina, strength and power have two options:
Find a decent Personal Trainer and try to book in the required 3 workouts per week for great results
Download an appropriate ‘app’ or on-line fitness program and hold yourself accountable to getting it done at least 3 times each week
Both approaches have upsides and downsides. At Golfer’s Edge we’ve taken the best of both approaches–and dispensed with the worst–to create a unique training system that provides measurable results!
Why our hybrid system works
It’s more cost effective
Forget $300 per week. Our systems and efficiency are your savings.
Get all the indivdualised programs, workouts, knowledge, expertise, accountability, support, and coaching you need to achieve those golf fitness goals at a fraction of the price of a standard PT (who doesn’t understand golf anyway!).
It’s more golf-specific
Feel comfortable in the knowledge that the assessments, programs and processes we use are informed by over 10 years of golf-specific education & training experience. Not only is our service fully individualised, it’s also completely data driven and results focused.
It’s more convenient
Not only can you work out WHEN it’s most convenient for YOU, you can also work out WHERE it’s most convenient. Train at home, in a company fitness centre, or at the $9-a-week gym in the shopping centre around the corner. And you don’t have to worry about those last minute cancellations on your PT – especially when you get charged anyway!
The standard personal training model is broken…
If you’ve had a Personal Trainer in the past, you’ll know that the following things are major impediments to achieving your long-term GOALS:
COST – achieving fitness GOALS requires multiple workouts per week. Do these all with a Personal Trainer and you’re looking at $250-$350 every single week.
SCHEDULING – Life is busy. Your schedule changes all the time. You travel for work. Face last-minute deadlines at work. And then there are the kids... But miss a workout and your RESULTS suffer. Not to mention that PT cancellation policy!
INCONVENIENCE – Getting to a PT session almost always means commuting. When it’s 3+ days per week, this time adds up quickly.
FITNESS-ONLY FOCUS – A great PT will give you a seriously great workout. But do they have the time and systems set up to focus on the other critical puzzle pieces? Nutrition, sleep, mobility, hydration, recovery... Miss these and results suffer.
Online apps are not much better
Using an Online Program or Fitness App can certainly solve some the issues above. They are cheaper, provide more workout scheduling flexibility and allow you the convenience of choosing where you do your exercise... But are they really the ANSWER? Consider these issues:
FORM — with an Online Program you have no ability to check whether you’re doing the movements correctly or dangerously WRONG!
NO ASSESSMENT — without a detailed initial assessment / evaluation you can bet your bottom dollar that that workout you are doing is more ‘for the masses’ than it is for YOU.
NOT INDIVIDUALISED — You deserve a Program built for your body, your level and your goals. Fitness Apps can’t provide this.
LACK OF SUPPORT — Have a question about your training? With an Online App there’s often nobody to ask...
NO STRUCTURED PROGRESSION - programs only work until your body becomes accustomed them. Then they need to change. Safe, effective progression requires in-person knowledge & expertise which Apps cannot provide.
Our hybrid Model has been developed to deliver optimal results to golfers just like you!
Think of Golfer’s Edge as your concierge service for your health and wellness. Your fitness is a crucial component, but it’s not the sole focus it might be with standard Personal Training.
The Golfer’s Edge Hybrid Model integrates both online and in-person training to give you the best of both worlds. All Assessments & 1on1 Sessions both take place in-person, while programs, nutrition & lifestyle guidelines and additional support are delivered online. This means that your ‘performance plan’ goes far beyond just exercises, sets, and reps.
How does the hybrid model work?
It all starts with a full Golf Fitness Evaluation, inspired by the team at the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), allowing comparison to PGA Tour norms. From there a detailed and individualised Program is written and delivered to you online. Based on the flexibility, stability, strength, power progression model, your personalised program will comprise elements of flexibility and mobility, core strength and stability work, functional golf-specific strength and power training, and balance skills. 1on1 Sessions are scheduled at regular intervals in our cutting-edge studio to:
Demonstrate how the program works
Teach new exercises
Review and correct form
Adjust and progress weights and reps
Answer questions, address concerns, clear obstacles, and leave you feeling confident about the road ahead.
You can expect to receive a Weekly Check-In Email every Monday that serves as both accountability and between-session support. Complete Reassessments are performed quarterly to check progress towards GOALS, inform program changes & progression and show you how much you have improved!
