There is a more detailed App Guide & FAQ Sheet in the App which is available after sign up.

The information below should take care of most questions.

If not, please reach out using the CONTACT US form.

Common Questions

There is all the information and visuals you need on the app whether you have no equipment, same basic at home equipment or access to a fully equipped gym. If you do wish to have equipment of you own to use at home, I advise that you have any of the following: resistance bands, dumbbells, and a medicine ball. The app will have all these and even the non-essential but fun and challenging equipment to use in your workout program.

Resistance Bands

These are great for substituting any cable machine exercises or medicine ball throwing exercises. They can also be used instead of free weights to simulate the exercises I have recorded in a gym and can be easily packed for travel

Dumbbells

It is very difficult to recommend dumbbells as everyone has a different strength level, and different exercises require very different amounts of resistance.

Medicine Ball

Only buy a medicine ball if you will be able to slam it off the ground and ideally throw it off a wall. I recommend 4 and 8 lbs for most people and 10 or 20 lbs in some circumstances but 8lb generally is all that you will need.

Remember that this equipment is a long-term investment. Many golfers will drop $500-1000 on a new driver, but not invest in their physical training. You are making a great investment in your physical health and golf happiness!

There are also many workouts in the app which are just done with body weight. Do not let a lack of equipment be an excuse to not start training. Many people have made a lot of progress with just body weight. Some have gone on vacation and came back playing better than ever by only completing body weight exercises while away.

Many GOLFNASIUM ™️ app subscribers have loved training so much they have created a home gym with a squat rack, barbell and plates.

Training Programs

Where should I start? 

If you are new to playing golf you should start with the Course Confidence which is designed to prepare your body for playing while avoiding injury.

If you are a beginner to working you should start with the Fit Fore Golf Program or if you don’t have any equipment, you can use the for-home version.

After you have finished the Program or if you have workout experience, you can start with a program that suits your current goals any time of the year.

The Off-Season and Strength Programs are fantastic during the winter time or offseason when playing golf may not be the priority.

The In-Season Power Program is a great choice due to its lower volume leading to less fatigue or soreness while still being able to see improvement.

The Peak Power and Super Speed Programs are a good choice for transitioning from the winter into the pre-season.

The Golf Strong Forever Program is great for the older golfer who wants to build strength and maintain physical abilities as they age in golf wisdom.

How long are the programs?

Each of the primary programs outlined above is designed to be 30 or up to 12 weeks in duration. Workouts are 5-60 minutes in duration depending on the exact workout.
They are full body programs designed to be done 2-3 days per week on non-consecutive days.

There are also two mobility routines which are 10-15 minutes in duration. These are labeled Mobility #1 & #2 in the app workout library.

Want to know what to do before and after you play? Prepare will get you ready to play your best while Restore will help you recover your body so you can play 18 again!

What should I do on the days in between workouts?

This will be dependent on goals. Many users are really looking to increase their swing speed. If this is the case, specific swing speed training on the days between the workouts is a great idea.

This can be done with popular training tools such as the SuperSpeed Speed Sticks, The Stack, or similar alternatives. I have used Speed Sticks and The Stack and they are both fantastic. If you have them or are interested, I highly recommend them. These products have their own protocols and I suggest following these as laid out on the days in between workouts 1-3 times per week.

Extra mobility, cardio, other sports you enjoy or of course actual golf practice or play are also great options.

Subscriptions

Can I cancel at any time / is there a minimum contract?

Subscriptions can be canceled at any time and there is no minimum contract.

How do I cancel my app subscription?

The instructions to cancel your subscription are in your app account directly above the list of workouts in the app. I have also copied them below:

– Log into the webpage golfbarr.trainerize.com.
– Click on the drop down next to your name in the top right-hand corner.
– Click My Account
– Click My Purchases
– Click Three vertical dots on the right side of the page
– Click Cancel Auto Renew

Can I switch from the monthly to annual subscription?

Yes. This is common as the annual subscription is better value than the monthly option.
To do this use the product change request feature on the app, send a message through the app, or use the contact form on this webpage.

I have an injury/am recovering from an injury. Can I still use this service?

Yes, absolutely. There will be a huge number of exercises you can do which will not aggravate your injury. Many app users have also used the programs to help clear up nagging injuries.

If you have an injury you are trying to work around, I am happy to provide guidance. Just send a message through the in-app messaging service.
