WHAT IS POWER GOLF PILATES? This form of Pilates develops the physical skills needed to help golfers hit the ball farther, straighter and more accurately. It helps to lengthen and strengthen muscles while focusing on core strength. Pilates trains the body and mind to work for overall fitness, to build strength without bulking up, to reshape the body using correct biomechanics and alignment principles, and to employ mental focus and precise movement. It is one of the only exercise systems that work from the inside out, strengthening the core or powerhouse muscles in the center of the body. These include the abdominals, obliques, latsimus dorsi and gluteals – the muscles that are responsible for generating most of the power in the golf swing. Power Golf Pilates will help you find the best source of power for your swing, and help you create a swing motion that best complements your style without major changes.

WHO DEVELOPED THE METHOD? Rick Nielsen, the only PGA professional in the country who is also a certified Pilates instructor. His knowledge of both disciplines is invaluable in delivering the highest quality instruction for each and every client regardless of age, fitness levels or skill.
