Masters Week Feature: The Power of Intentional Fitness for Golf Performance
At the Intersection of Golf, Health, and High Performance
For high-level executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals, golf is more than a weekend pastime. It’s a mental reset. A networking tool. A test of character and composure. It’s where focus, power, patience, and strategy converge — not unlike the boardroom.
But just like in business, success in golf doesn’t happen by chance. It’s earned. And behind every effortless swing or confident walk down the fairway is a foundation of physical strength, mobility, stability, and preparation.
This is intentional fitness for golf — a strategic approach that optimizes performance, prevents injury, and aligns with the high standards of today’s executive men.
At HOMEFIT, we specialize in concierge personal training and physical therapy tailored specifically for high achievers. With golf fitness becoming an essential part of the executive wellness lifestyle, there’s never been a better time to understand how the right training can transform both your swing and your overall wellbeing.
Why Golf Fitness Matters for Executives
Golf isn’t just a casual activity. It’s a physical and mental performance sport.
Every drive, chip, and putt puts unique demands on the body. Golfers need strong hips, mobile shoulders, stable knees, and a powerful core to repeat their swing with precision and control. For executive men who spend long hours seated, under stress, and often traveling, the body can become tight, imbalanced, and prone to injury.
Intentional fitness addresses this gap — building resilience, improving biomechanics, and restoring functionality through movements that matter.
According to Jared Cooper, DPT, Director of Physical Therapy at HOMEFIT and Founder of PhysioVita:
“Golf may look like a finesse sport, but it places unique demands on the body. If you’re not intentionally training the muscles that support rotational movement and postural integrity, you’re going to compensate somewhere — and that’s when injuries creep in or performance stalls.”
Cooper emphasizes that golf fitness needs to be:
Individualized to a player’s body and history
Rooted in functional strength and movement quality
Sustainable for the lifestyle of high-performing individuals
The Role of Functional Fitness in Golf Performance
Functional fitness focuses on training the body to perform everyday movements efficiently and safely — but when applied to golf, the benefits are compounded.
Key areas of focus for golf-specific functional fitness include:
Rotational Core Strength: The golf swing is a rotational powerhouse. Strengthening the obliques, deep core, and glutes directly contributes to power transfer, swing speed, and spinal health.
Mobility in the Hips and Thoracic Spine: These are the most common areas of restriction in executive clients. Without adequate rotation and mobility here, the swing becomes limited and compensations increase risk for injury.
Stability and Balance: Balance drills and unilateral strength work build a stronger base of support, improve swing accuracy, and prevent unnecessary strain on the knees and back.
Postural Conditioning: Executive men often suffer from forward head posture, tight hip flexors, and slouched shoulders due to desk work. Corrective training helps realign posture, improving both aesthetics and swing mechanics.
Recovery and Regeneration: Myofascial release, deep stretching, breathwork, and guided recovery are essential for optimizing longevity in the game.
Cody Robinson on Golf & High-Performance Training
As the founder of HOMEFIT, Cody Robinson understands the unique overlap between professional performance and physical wellness. Having trained executives, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes, he brings a keen perspective on how the game of golf reflects broader themes of success, longevity, and excellence.
“Golf rewards discipline, patience, and strategy — the same values required to lead a company or close a multi-million dollar deal. But none of that matters if your body can’t support your lifestyle. That’s why we focus on movements that translate directly to golf, while also helping our clients move, feel, and live better in all areas of life.”
Cody’s approach combines:
Personalized assessments
Concierge-level scheduling
Integration of physical therapy and corrective movement
Executive-level accountability and results tracking
