Program FAQs

Do I need to be “strong” before starting?

No. “Heavy” is always relative to your level.


Can I do this “in-season”?

Yes, but it is more appropriate for the off-season, or times when training is a bigger priority than golf scores.


Can I combine this with speed training?

Yes, all programs can be combined with speed training.


Can I do this program from Home?

Not unless you have a very well equipped home gym. There are many other home based programs on the app you can choose from.

Fit For Golf App Reviews

Over 9 months, I’ve completed the Mass Prep, Mass, Force, and Velocity programs—and the results have been remarkable. My driver speed has gone from about 102 mph to 110+mph, with carries increasing from 255 to over 270 yards. My handicap dropped from 8.7 to 6.2, and my ball striking is far more consistent.

Since using the app I have, Increased my lean mass by 8kg / 18lbs. Increased my average club head speed from 97mph to 110mph. Lowered my handicap from 24 to 14. Had zero injuries.

This is the best app on the market and I have no doubt I will make further gains. Thanks for answering questions I’ve had so quickly!

Since I started I have gotten much stronger and lost 50 pounds. I don’t need pain meds for joint and back pain anymore. I have seen an increase in my swing speed and hitting the ball about 10 yards farther. I have more energy and don’t feel tired at the end of a round.
