TRX for Golfers

Are you a golf player and want to take your skills to the next level? Then the TRX Suspension Trainer is the right tool for you. The TRX is an effective tool for golfers as it not only blends flexibility and mobility, but it also activates the core and helps develop more power.

Of course, technique is crucial to golf, but do not underestimate the role fitness plays in your performance. Strength and fitness training are crucial to complement the mechanic side of the sport. Golf requires a combination of strength, flexibility, timing, balance, power and endurance. Making sure your golf workout program addresses all of these components of fitness means you have to pick an efficient and effective way to train. This is where the TRX comes in. Unloading movements to create the appropriate range of motion, balance and swing components such as weight shifts, balance, staying on swing plane, shoulder turn, core stability and hip rotation all have physical requirements you can address using the TRX. The aim is to use the TRX alongside your golf training to improve flexibility in the hips, knees and ankles.

According to TRX Head of Human Performance Chris Frankel, the TRX allows for a quick way to build in resistance training and core work with their mobility exercises.

“Because of the design of the Suspension Trainer with that single anchor point, you have this 360-degree range of motion to really get your torso twisting—working through that X factor of dissociating hips from shoulders—with just the right amount of resistance in there so they can be strong.”

In The Spotlight: Marie-France

Today we are celebrating Marie-France! She has been training with us for 6 months and has shown great improvement! Her golf skills have improved too, thanks to the TRX.

TRX training really helped my golf game. Over the months I really improved my flexibility, my ability to rotate more my shoulders and the strength of the upper body....ultimately helping me to swing the club with more speed. I also have the feeling that my entire body acts « as one » and is more coordinated.

I realized that my tee shots became longer and longer, which had a significant impact on my golf game and scores. - Marie-France
