GOLF FITNESS PATHWAY

NASM GOLF FITNESS SPECIALIST · 20+ YEARS COACHING EXPERIENCE

Does any of this sound familiar?

Loss of distance off the tee

Often linked to restricted hip rotation or limited thoracic mobility — not clubhead speed alone.

Early extension through impact

Frequently a pelvic control issue. The body moves away from the ball because it has no other option.

Back stiffness or recurring discomfort

Back stiffness can often be linked to compensation patterns, with the back taking load the hips and glutes should be helping to manage.

Swing breaks down after 9 holes

Fatigue exposes physical limitations. When the body can no longer compensate, the pattern collapses.

Some swing patterns are not purely technical. If coaching isn't fully sticking, or the same patterns keep returning — the physical side is worth looking at.

Movement Screening: The Foundation of Effective Training

Natalie Hanna Fit

3 min read

Assessment first. Always.

Before any training begins, I assess how your body actually moves — posture, mobility, strength patterns, and the physical factors influencing your swing.

The findings shape everything that follows. Every exercise, every session, every home programme is built around your movement, your limitations, and your goals on the course.

This is not generic gym work adapted for golf. It is programming built specifically around your body.

Based at the Richard McEvoy Golf Academy, Shoeburyness, Essex.

No gym membership required.

Two ways to begin

Every new client starts with an assessment. It is the only way to understand what your body is doing and build a programme that actually works.

A NOTE ON PROGRAMMING

Golf fitness programming is not available as a standalone entry service. Before any programme is written, I need to assess how you move, coach you through the exercises, and understand how your body responds to training.

For this reason, additional programming is only offered to suitable clients following an assessment and a period of coached sessions. This ensures any programme prescribed is appropriate, effective, and built around your individual needs rather than a generic template.

HOW GOLF FITNESS WORKS

With no membership required, helping golfers, athletes, and everyday clients achieve their goals in fitness, performance, and daily life.

Golf fitness is for golfers who want their body to support their game

Whether you are a club golfer, a competitive amateur, or someone simply looking to stay in the game for longer — if your body is limiting what your golf can do, this is for you.

Amateur golfers

Who want more distance, better consistency, or to stop their game declining as they age.

Competitive amateurs

Looking to remove physical limitations that coaching alone cannot fix.

Golf Academy environment.

Coaching in a private golf focused environment.

Golfers with recurring niggles

Who want to address the physical root cause, not just manage symptoms.

Golfers with a performance goal

Amateurs and Pros looking to improve, any aspect of their golf and fitness goals.

Senior Golfers

Focused on staying in the game, reducing injury risk, maintaining or improving mobility. Fit for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Golf Fitness

Do I need to be a member of the Richard McEvoy Golf Academy?

No. For 1-to-1 sessions with me, no membership is required. You book directly with me and train at the academy.

Can you just write me a programme?

Why i do not write programmes without coaching. A useful programme needs more than an assessment. I need to see how you move, how you understand the exercises, how well you can execute them, and what comes up once you actually start training. Golf fitness is not just a list of exercises. It is coached, adjusted, and progressed around your body, your movement, and your golf. Programme work starts with an assessment and a minimum period of coached sessions before anything is built for you to follow independently.

I already work a golf pro. Will this conflict?

Not at all — it is designed to support it. Technical coaching tells you what to do with your swing. Golf fitness addresses whether your body is physically capable of doing it. The two work together, not against each other. I am happy to work in partnership with your golf coach.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

With consistent training, many golfers start to feel changes in how their body moves within the first 4–6 weeks. On-course improvements typically follow. Lasting change takes longer — but you will often feel the shift before you see it on the scorecard.

I am not particularly fit — is this still suitable?

Yes. The assessment meets you exactly where you are. Everything is built around your current movement. You do not need to be fit to start — the point is to help you get there.

Do you offer nutrition for golf performance?

Yes. Performance Nutrition is available as a separate enquiry-based service for golfers who want support with fuelling, hydration, recovery, body composition or nutrition around training, practice and competition. This is not included as standard within Golf Fitness Coaching and is discussed individually depending on the client’s needs.
