TESTIMONIALS
Many individuals' have improved their performance working with Golf Fit; rather than document all the testimonials here we have attempted to provide testimonials from male and female golfers of varying ages and levels.
"I wanted to increase my general fitness and flexibility, especially important as I am approaching 55 and senior status. Rather than providing a generic approach, Alex provides training which is directly relevant to my golf game and to the areas I need to work on."
David Halkerston ( Handicap 6 )
"I represented Scotland as an amateur, and am now a professional golfer with membership on the PGA Europro Tour, and European Challenge Tour. I have been working with Alex Woods for 3 weeks now, and I have learned that there is so much more to being fit to play golf than I ever imagined.
I learned that basically every swing flaw will have a physical deficiency at the heart of it. In 3 weeks, the improvements we have made to my power, mobility and stability are greater than I thought possible in such a short time.
These improvements have already shown up directly in my golf swing too. Swing tendencies I have worked on for years have improved within two weeks without intensive range work. I am really excited about continuing to improve my golf fitness with Alex, and see my tournament results improve.
I would thoroughly recommend this program to anyone who is remotely serious about playing golf better than they currently do."
Graeme Brown (Challenge Tour, Euro Pro Tour Professional )
"Having been on a golf scholarship in the states and worked with specialist golf trainers there I can assure you that there is no one more knowlegable about golf fitness than Alex Woods. His meticulous understanding of the body and how it relates to the golf swing is second to none. I am much stronger and more flexible than I have ever been and I am playing the best golf of my life. "
James Browning (Handicap +1, Amateur Golfer )
"The start of my professional career was predominantly spent on the physio table. Alex, of Golf Fit Ltd works closely with my swing coach and has taught me how to functionally move so I can swing the club the way I want to, pain free.
My frame of mind regarding my body is now about being injury pro-active, not re-active. Alex’s understanding of golf biomechanics is second to none. Since working with Golf Fit Ltd I feel better, get less injuries and my swing mechanics look better than ever."
Jamie Mcleary (European Tour, Challenge Tour Golfer and former World Top Ten Amateur )
"I came out of retirement to play an event this year. I asked Alex to get me in shape. He did more than I asked and by improving the way I moved increased my power, speed and efficiency to levels higher than when I was 18. His movement training techniques will cause a revolution. I have worked with strength coaches for years but Alex is on a different playing field. In the end, results speak for themselves."
Katarina Palenikova (Scottish Tennis Indoor Open Champion 2009 )
"I was amazed at how quickly the causes of my power issues were highlighted, corrected and then transferred into my golf swing."
Lee Harper (Tartan Tour and EuroPro Tour Golfer )
"Alex supported and guided me through three months of contact time which saw my 1RM's for my bench press, squat, power clean and shoulder press increase far faster than I could have hoped to achieve on my own (despite picking up a shoulder injury towards the beginning of the programme). I also developed my power and endurance to levels that I am exceedingly happy with.
He not only directed me towards what exercises I should be doing for my chosen sport (cheerleading), but the manner, order and progressions in which I was to approach them. This was backed up by sound nutritional advice and an easily-managed progress system that allowed me to see exactly how I was doing with respect to my personal targets at any given point.
He has always been approachable, understanding and made himself available for questions, no matter how simplistic or complicated. Alex is professional in both his knowledge and service and, should I need any further advice in the future, I will have absolutely no qualms about using him again."
Lewis Emms (National Cheerleading Squad )
"From the start I was impressed by Craig's thoroughness and attention to detail. He makes fitness relevant to golf and keeps my training specific to me. I would recommend Craig and Golf Fit to any golfer who wants to reach their full potential".
Stephen Gallacher (Scotland's #1 ranked golfer )
"I was not looking for a personal trainer, but someone who had knowledge in the golf specific field and was willing to work over a period of time to improve my general balance, core strength and stamina.
Alex and the Golf Fit principles made my decision very easy! Over the last 2 months I have seen my commitment and enjoyment level increase.
During my playing years on The European Tour I realised I had to maintain a level of fitness through gym work, but I became too easily bored due to lack of proper direction. Now, with the advice and weekly supervision from Alex I am really enjoying the programme. Mentally and physically I feel better because of my commitment.
Alex has fantastic knowledge on specific body parts and movement required to maximise power and balance in the golf swing. His understanding for my needs are professionally diagnosed and delivered.
I have given myself a target of raising my strength and fitness over the next 3 years before heading for the Seniors Tour.
After my first session I knew this was the ideal fitness formula for me."
Stephen McAllister (Two Time European Tour Winner )
"I have no doubt Alex will be a leader in his field and a must have golf fitness coach for any serious golfer in the modern game."
Stephen McOmish (www.side-spin.com) (Designer of Side Spin and PGA Professional, Marriott Dalmahoy, Edinburgh )
"I spent the last 6 weeks of an injury plagued golfing season with Alex. We worked on my specific injury prone areas and on the development of my overall golfing fitness. After 3 weeks, I was beginning to notice huge improvements and, by week 4, I shot my lowest competitive round (gross 1 under CSS) of the year and won the competition. Whilst these results speak for themselves, I believe Alex’s professional approach, commitment and enthusiasm will help me achieve new goals next season."
