PGFA™ Golf Fitness: Enhancing Muscle Activation for Optimal Golf Performance

Functional Strength & Dynamic Movement Elevate your golf game by enhancing your body's capability to harness power from the ground up. This boosts distance and consistency in your shots and plays a crucial role in injury prevention.


Balance & Proprioception - Refine your balance through improved proprioceptive awareness. Mastering balance during your golf swing is essential for maintaining a firm and steady connection with the ground, enhancing overall performance.


Stability & Control - Think of stability as synonymous with Control. Enhancing golf-specific muscle activation through dynamic strength training leads to robust Control throughout your swing, ensuring precision and consistency.


Power & Efficiency - Develop your ability to generate, store, and effectively release energy in a coordinated sequence. This approach maximizes power output, translating to a more impactful swing.


Speed & Distance - Speed in golf is about the rapid movement of the club head in a targeted direction. Understand that the velocity at which you swing directly correlates with the distance your ball travels. Mastering this aspect can significantly improve your game's effectiveness.
