Golf strength and conditioning answers a question most golfers know well: why does the practice swing feel better than the real one? Usually because your body can hold the position slowly, but lacks the strength, stability or control to support the golf swing once speed and force are added.
Our Strength and Conditioning team works alongside our PGA Professionals, assessing your movement next to your actual golf swing to find which movements need to get stronger. Your programme trains rotation, stability and power in golf specific patterns, targets clubhead speed and distance rather than gym numbers, and is delivered through the TPI app with one to one coaching so every exercise is performed correctly. The goal is not simply to make you stronger. It is to make swing changes easier to achieve and easier to keep.
Training runs from the Golf Fitness Suite at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Codnor, near Ripley, around 20 minutes from Derby.
Three services that turn a movement limitation into something your swing can finally rely on.
We assess your movement alongside your golf swing to establish exactly where your physical strengths and limitations are.
A programme designed around your body and your swing, built with our S&C team and Advanced PGA Professionals together.
Doing the exercises is not enough, doing them correctly is. We coach you into the right positions so every session counts.
Ask a body to do something it physically cannot, and no amount of practice will make it happen. Build the capability first, and the swing change takes weeks rather than years.

Our approach
Six things that stay the same, whichever part of the academy you use.
Before anything changes, we take the time to understand your goals, your golf and how you actually want to spend your time here.
TrackMan technology and TPI movement principles mean every decision is based on what is really happening rather than an opinion.
Technical, physical, or simply how you practise. There is always a reason changes are not sticking, and we identify it before we act.
Our PGA Professionals, physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coaches share what they find, so nothing gets missed between them.
You leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your body, your goals and the time you realistically have to practise.
We measure again as you go, so improvement is something you can point at rather than something you hope is happening.
Coaching, facilities and the right environment for all ages and abilities. For golfers in Derby, Alfreton, Ripley, Belper and Ilkeston.

Because your body can hold the positions slowly but not under speed and force. Golf specific strength, stability and rotation work is exactly what fixes that.

No. Your TPI movement assessment shows where your body is today, and your programme starts from exactly there.
It is built by our Strength and Conditioning coach alongside our PGA Professionals, around your movement assessment and your actual golf swing.
Through the TPI app. Your personalised programme, exercises and progress tracking are with you anytime, alongside one to one coached sessions.
It is one of the most reliable ways to add clubhead speed and carry distance, because speed comes from moving well rather than swinging harder.
