SANTA ANA, CA – March 30, 2009 – GolfGym, the leader in golf fitness since 1987, today announced that the Joey D Signature Series is now being shipped globally.
GolfGym has enjoyed a healthy domestic retail presence for years. The company has been represented by The Booklegger who is one of the largest distributors of golf books, videos and accessories in the United States so the GolfGym product line has been available in most golf specialty stores as well as at on and off course retailers.
With a new golf season upon us, sales of GolfGym products internationally is on the rise in nearly 20 countries including; Sweden, England, Scotland, Ireland, India, Indonesia, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Africa, France, the Netherlands, The Republic of Korea, Guam and most recently the Slovak Republic.
“We contribute our rapid rise in the international marketplace to our aggressive business measures, a greater online presence and more importantly to our new association with Coach Joey D. His notoriety with the PGA Tour and the tour pros he works with has elevated consumer awareness here in the U.S. and globally,” said Ken Pierce, president, GolfGym LLC.
As an integral part of the GolfGym business expansion, the company entered into a partnership with elite biomechanics, strength and conditioning, PGA Coach Joey D. Subsequently, the entire GolfGym product line, website, collateral materials now all feature the prominent coach. This new branding and corporate identity has been a key factor to its increased worldwide sales and success.
“I believe that the success GolfGym is experiencing is directly related to the success we’re achieving on the PGA Tour. Amateur golfers are very inspired by the professionals and when they see a stronger, fitter, Pat Perez win, the rest is history,” said Coach Joey D. “It also helps that the GolfGym products are all in the PGA Tour Fitness Trailers at every Tour Event.”
As a coach on the PGA Tour for over 10 years, Joey D is best known for coaching Vijay Singh during a seven year period that was highlighted when Vijay became #1 in the world. Joey D’s coaching methods with Vijay were featured on an ABC Special, Practice Like a PGA Tour Player, and a CBS Special, The Science of Golf, which showcased Vijay’s dedication and work ethic to improve his golf fitness and performance.
Recently, Coach Joey D and his roster of PGA Tour Professionals have celebrated much success on the PGA Tour. Pat Perez secured a sensational victory at the Bob Hope Classic and both Jason Dufner and Charlie Wi placed in the Top-10 at the Honda Classic. Charlie Wi just finished T4 at the Transitions earning him over $223,000.
As is standard with GolfGym, all products are easy to use, portable and affordable. Many of them are used daily by PGA Tour players in the PGA Tour fitness trailers. Each GolfGym product includes a Joey D Instructional DVD featuring Coach Joey D as he walks you through all the exercises he employs on the PGA Tour with his players Pat Perez, Ryuji Imada, Charlie Wi, Tom Pernice Jr., Tim Wilkinson and Travis Perkins just to name a few.
“We are thrilled that our products are being used all over the world. With that said, we are still in the process of acquiring international distributorship. If there is interest in representing GolfGym in your respective country, please feel free to contact us,” added Pierce.
