Golf Fitness Program
At Great Moves Physical Therapy, we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art indoor golf simulator. This allows you to hit full golf shots indoors any time of the year, any time of the day. This also allows you to be observed by a therapist or personal trainer who is specifically trained to help people restore or improve their golf performance.
The program is appropriate for people of all ages, fitness levels, and skill levels. Even if you’re a low handicapper, our golf fitness program is a great tool to refine your swing to not only improve performance but reduce injury. For the high handicapper, our golf fitness program helps you hit the ball more consistently and safely, again, aiming to reduce your chance of injury which will allow you to enjoy the game for many more years.
Our golf fitness program is intended to augment any training or coaching you may already be receiving from a coach or PGA pro. In fact, we encourage you to invite them along so they can get a better understanding of how we can monitor and provide video feedback for areas of the golf swing that may be weak or potentially harmful to long-term physical health.
Your coach or pro is there to help you improve your golf score. We’re there to help you improve your golf fitness.

Choose the Right Personal Trainer
If you want to get fit and build good muscle tone, hiring a personal trainer can be a wise decision. A good trainer can help you develop a fitness program that can help you reach your goals and give you proper guidance on how to work out. Choosing a personal trainer is a situation that should be handled carefully.
If your trainer is not knowledgeable, you risk getting injured during the training. Ideally, you want to choose a qualified and committed trainer who can help you achieve the desired outcome. Choosing the right trainer can be a bit confusing and, for some people, intimidating. But if you have the right information, you will find it easy to choose the right trainer for you. Here’s what to look for when deciding on personal trainer:
1. Credentials
Make sure you ask about a trainer’s credentials. There are many personal trainer certification programs. It is important to choose a trainer who has a reputable certification and preferably, a college degree in the physical education, exercise science and fitness field. Accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is what you should look for.
2. Experience
When it comes to choosing a personal trainer for your fitness program, background is important. Inquire about the years of experience a trainer has working with clients. You should look for a trainer who has sufficient experience working with clients. And don’t be forget to ask for the trainer’s track record.
3. Cost
This can vary among different trainers. Find out how much the trainer charges, and be realistic about how many sessions you’ll need to reach your goals. Rates vary depending on the length of training, the trainer’s credentials, expertise and experience, and the location where the training sessions take place. Often times, you can get a better rate if you negotiate properly.
4. Professionalism
Before entering into a contract, find out what kind of professional behavior a trainer has. Make sure that the trainer listens to you carefully. You don’t want to work with a trainer who doesn’t care about your concerns and needs. A good trainer should know that every client is different and will create a program based on the individual needs of each client. A good trainer should be honest about your progress and help you set realistic goals.
5.References
Ask the trainer for testimonials and contact information from other clients that they have worked with. It makes sense to choose a trainer who has other clients that have goals that are similar to yours. Call those clients to know if they are satisfied with their workouts, experiences and results. Ask whether the trainer was punctual, prepared and professional.
Have Fun!
In general, having a trainer can be a great way to make your exercise program more enjoyable, effective and targeted to your fitness needs. A good personal trainer will assess your fitness level, find out what you are trying to accomplish, design a suitable program for you and keep you motivated. The trainer will track your progress and provide the right guidance to help you achieve the results you want.
It is important to research properly before hiring a personal trainer to make sure that you choose the expertise you are looking for. Once you choose the right trainer, you can rest assured that your investment will pay off well and that you will be on the right track to reaching your fitness goals.
