SANTA ANA, CA – January 17, 2007 – Learn to get out of your own way and get more "golf fit." GolfGym, the industry leader in golf fitness announced today that it will be actively promoting its new "Golf Fitness Made Simple" program at events and conferences beginning immediately. The program, which is presented by GolfGym president, Ken Pierce and golf fitness expert Katherine Roberts, will focus on game improvement by becoming more "golf fit" utilizing GolfGym products and positive motivation.
"Learning how to properly strengthen and stretch your body will help your game more than any other piece of equipment you own," said Pierce. "Once you invest a little time and effort into making your body more golf fit, your play and your approach to the game will definitely improve".
In talking about the affiliation with Roberts, Pierce elaborates, "It’s a kind of beauty and the beast partnership. I am 57 years old, 6’3" tall, 235 lbs., a former professional ice hockey referee and president of GolfGym. Katherine is young, beautiful, an author, a TV personality, and is an expert in the field of yoga and golf fitness. I add humor and all my years of "wisdom" and motivation and she does all the work. I created a jump rope fitness program years ago while Katherine molded her love of golf and her expertise in yoga into her life long commitment. Not too shabby for a pair from Philly and Chi Town. Actually, we make a really great team. Better yet, we offer a fun and informative program to help you get out of your own way, get Golf FIT, and enjoy the game we all love so much."
According to Pierce, there are some common golf "weaknesses" that you can address immediately with just a few simple exercises. During the presentation, he and Katherine discuss overall health and fitness issues and demonstrate a variety of easy golf specific exercises using the GolfGym® PowerGrip Squeasy, Balance Ball, PowerSwing Trainer and Weighted Club 28.
Each GolfGym product comes with an instructional DVD with a variety of exercises designed to develop proper swing habits and muscle memory, improve club control and shot accuracy, build strength to add distance, and develop better balance and posture. Since the introduction of the PowerSwing Trainer, GolfGym has been the leader in golf fitness. In the past 20 years, the PowerSwing Trainer has been endorsed by Bob Toski who called it "the best training and conditioning product ever introduced" and by golf legend, Gary Player, who called it the best "golf specific" exercise/swing development program he has ever used.
