Program Overview

The Home Based – Bands & Dumbbells Program is designed for golfers who train at home and have access to both resistance bands and dumbbells. It follows the same structure and training principles as the other Fit For Golf programs: a combination of mobility, power, and strength work that improves overall conditioning and supports better golf performance.

Having bands and dumbbells available is helpful as certain exercises are better suited to one versus the other. The exercises and progressions are tailored specifically for this equipment mix, allowing for more variety and more precise loading than using bands or dumbbells alone.

Everything can be done in a small space, the sessions are short and simple, and the program scales easily to any fitness level. The goal is to build and maintain mobility, muscle mass, strength, and power year-round — when gym access is not available.

Primary Goals

Improve muscle mass, strength, and power using a combination of band and dumbbell exercises

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.

Adrian Tedeschi, 45, 6.2 hcp

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!

Philip Kelly, 38, 14 hcp

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.
