The Golf Fitness Coach, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a personal trainer who specialises in providing physical training programmes for golfers. The coach, Andrew Watson, is a TPI Certified personal trainer with a background in golf and fitness.
Andrew's passion for golf began at a young age, and he competed for Turnhouse Golf Club's junior section. However, a career opportunity in football temporarily shifted his focus away from golf. After experiencing a cardiac arrest, Andrew decided to prioritise golf once again and pursued a career in personal training.
With over 10 years of experience in personal training and extensive research into the physical training of golfers, Andrew decided to combine his love for fitness and golf. Through the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), he obtained full qualification as a specialist in optimising the body and range of movement for golf.
For Andrew, optimising the body for golf involves focusing on five pillars of golf fitness. These pillars include motor control, mobility and flexibility, stability, strength, and power. By assessing each client's fitness level and goals through TPI Screening, Andrew can create a unique fitness routine to improve their golf performance.
The Golf Fitness Coach offers various coaching programme options tailored to each client's needs. Whether the golfer is looking to prevent injuries, hit the ball further and straighter, or improve their swing efficiency, the coach can design a programme to help them achieve their goals. These programmes incorporate the five pillars of golf fitness and utilise individualised routines to reach desired outcomes.
In addition to coaching, The Golf Fitness Coach also provides valuable information through a blog. Topics covered include off-season planning, exercises to improve golf swings, nutrition for golf, the connexion between playing golf and golf fitness, and tips on obtaining power like Bryson DeChambeau.
For golfers in Edinburgh and beyond, The Golf Fitness Coach is dedicated to enhancing their fitness and overall performance on the golf course. With a focus on individualised programming and a strong foundation in golf and fitness expertise, clients can trust that they are receiving top-notch training to become healthier and fitter golfers.
