3 Reasons Why You Should Train with Golf Training Systems

The importance of golf fitness training became apparent in the mid-90’s thanks to Tiger Woods. The fitness trailer is now a very popular place during every PGA Tour event. If you watched the Full Swing docuseries on Netflix, you saw several scenes of golfers working out. Golfers can no longer ignore their fitness if they want to excel at the sport.

Golf Training Systems (GTS) is an online golf fitness training platform that focuses on improving every aspect of a golfer’s fitness. The training it provides addresses issues important to golfers such as pelvic control, joint mobility, and force production. This specialized programming can be accessed anytime, anywhere via computer or smart device. Below are three more reasons why you should train with Golf Training Systems.

TPI Certified Trainers

The programs on GTS are created by a pair of personal trainers that hold numerous Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certifications. Coach Shawn Balow's TPI certifications include Level 1, Power 2 & 3, Fitness 2 & 3, Junior 2 & 3, Golf 2, and Medical 2. Coach Nick Burch's TPI certifications include Level 1 and Power 2. These TPI certifications have provided them with the knowledge needed to identify which aspect(s) of a golfer’s fitness needs to be improved to take their game to the next level.

The TPI assessment is one method Coach Shawn and Coach Nick use to build effective golf fitness programs for their clients. The 16-part TPI assessment helps the coaches recognize which physical limitations may be holding a golfer back from playing their best. Whether a golfer needs to improve their shoulder mobility, or enhance their core strength, the GTS coaches can create a workout program that will help them play better on the course and feel better off it.

Comprehensive Golf Fitness Curriculum/Programming

The GTS trainers have created programs for golfers with a wide range of skill levels. Their client list includes past LPGA & PGA Tour members, elite college golfers, club pros, and weekend players. A common theme in all of these golfers' training programs is that they include a comprehensive approach to their golf fitness.

While some online training programs focus only on strength or speed, the GTS program contains a unique combination of mobility, flexibility, speed, and/or strength exercises that are client dependent. The GTS coaches use information gathered from initial physical assessments & interviews to create a program that can be the most beneficial to that specific client.

State of the Art App

If a comprehensive golf fitness program created by TPI certified personal trainers wasn’t enough to sell you on the GTS program, the fact that the programming can be accessed on a state of the art app should. The GTS app provides HD videos for every exercise along with verbal or written instructions. It also provides the number of reps, sets, and rest needed to get the maximum benefit of each exercise.

Another unique feature of the GTS app is that it tracks the online client’s progress. Once a workout is completed, the client logs it and a notification is sent to their assigned coach. This feature lets the coaches know if their clients are sticking to their prescribed workout schedule or not. Online training takes a tremendous amount of accountability in order to see results and the accountability features included in the GTS app make it one of a kind.
