The Most Complete Golf Fitness Program

This is Golfer Geeks’ GolfForever review.

I’m an avid golfer, a 6ish handicap on my way to a 2 (been a 5.6), and I’ve been testing golf equipment since 2015.

I’m a STRONG believer in fitness for life as well as for golf. I train seriously 6 days a week and have for decades.

I lift weights, stretch regularly, do cardio, and generally stay in much better-than-average shape.

The question I had about GolfForever wasn’t whether fitness helps golf – I already know it does.

The question was: Is this specific program worth the money and time commitment? (Confession – I pretty much knew it was before I started the program)

Quick Take: GolfForever is the best golf-specific fitness program I’ve tested…out of some impressive competition.

The workouts are personalized to your level of ability and are sufficiently challenging yet achievable.

At $199/year subscription after the initial equipment purchase, it’s a bargain compared to a personal trainer – but only if you consistently put in the work.

Golfers looking for a science-backed, expert guided, and comprehensive golf specific training program…and will follow through with the workouts.

Considerations

Price – Though worth the price, there’s a sizable upfront cost and a yearly fee for access to the workout programs on the app.

Room – You’re going to need a certain amount when using the swing trainer and resistance bands.

Verdict

GolfForever is the best golf-specific fitness program I’ve tested. (I’ve used/tested more than most)

The equipment is well-made, the workouts are challenging without being impossible, and the personalization matches my fitness level.

The instructors know their stuff, explaining not just what to do but why it matters for your golf swing.

The app is intuitive with 1,000+ workouts covering everything from pre-round warmups to rotational power to injury prevention.

The real question isn’t whether the program works – it does.

The question is whether you’ll use it. At $199/year after the initial equipment purchase, it’s a bargain compared to a personal trainer or physical therapy sessions.

But that only matters if you commit to 2-3 workouts per week.

I’m sticking with it. I’m confident the mobility and strength gains will translate to better golf and fewer aches.

If you’re serious about longevity in this game (plus being more fit in general), GolfForever deserves serious consideration.

What Is GolfForever?

GolfForever is a two-part system: physical equipment and a video-based app with guided workouts.

The equipment includes resistance bands, a training bar, weighted attachments, and other accessories depending on which package you buy.

The app gives you access to 1,000+ workout videos led by golf fitness experts, doctors, and trainers.

The workouts are personalized based on an initial assessment that asks about your age, fitness level, goals, and physical limitations.

It’s comprehensive golf fitness focused on three main areas:

Mobility and flexibility for better range of motion

Strength and rotational power for more distance

Injury prevention to keep you playing longer

The workouts use the equipment in golf-specific ways.

You’re swinging a weighted bar, pulling resistance bands through golf positions, and doing exercises that directly translate to better movement on the course.

It’s not just generic fitness repackaged for golfers.

The app subscription is required. The equipment alone won’t do much without the guided workouts.

You can access the app on your phone, tablet, or cast it to a TV. Workouts range from 10 minutes to 45 minutes depending on which category you choose. (I’m doing Fundamentals & Rotational Power – About 30 minutes total for both for me.)

What’s Included in Each Package

The Core Equipment (All Packages)

The Swing Trainer bar is 44.5 inches long with a comfortable grip. It’s well-made, not cheap feeling.

The resistance bands come in light and medium resistance with nylon safety sleeves. You attach them to the bar with carabiners that clip on and off easily.

The weighted ball attachments screw onto the end of the bar. You get a standard weight and an overload (heavier) version. These turn the bar into a weighted club for swing training exercises.

The door anchor is a simple piece of nylon that slides into any door. Close the door, clip the carabiner to the anchor, attach your resistance band, and you’re set. The carry bag holds everything except the stability ball if you get the Albatross package.

The Add-Ons (Eagle and Albatross Only)

The wall anchor set mounts permanently to a wall or stud. It gives you three anchor points at different heights for more exercise variety. If you have a dedicated workout space, this beats dealing with a door anchor every time.

The Mini Bands+ are fabric resistance bands (light, medium, heavy) for glute and shoulder work. They’re pinch-free and don’t roll up like cheap rubber bands. The workouts use these for activation exercises and isolation work.

The Stability Ball+ is a 65cm exercise ball with a pump. Standard stuff, but it’s high quality with a 1,000-pound burst rating.

The Massage Ball+ is a trigger point ball for self-massage and pain relief. It’s about the size of a lacrosse ball. I haven’t used mine yet, but it’s standard equipment for anyone doing mobility work.

Unboxing and First Impressions

What’s in the Box

Everything arrives in a carrying case. The Swing Trainer bar (44.5 inches) is the centerpiece. It’s heavier than you’d expect, which is good.

The resistance bands (light and medium) come with nylon safety sleeves and attach via carabiners.

Two weighted ball attachments screw onto the bar – one standard, one overload. These turn it into a weighted club for rotational work.

You also get two detachable handles, a door anchor, two carabiners, and the carry bag.

The full system includes Mini Bands+ (three resistance levels), a Massage Ball+ for trigger point work, and a Stability Ball+ with pump.

Build Quality

The bar is solid with a comfortable grip. The resistance bands are high quality with nylon safety sleeves – better than generic fitness bands. Connections are simple and secure.

The Mini Bands+ are fabric, not rubber, so they don’t pinch or roll. The weighted ball attachments screw on tight with no wobble.

Nothing feels cheap. This is well-made equipment.

Portability

The 44.5-inch bar won’t fit in a standard suitcase. If you’re flying, you’re leaving it home.

For most people, this isn’t a problem. It lives in your garage or home gym. I tie mine to a heavy desk or a tree under my patio instead of using the door anchor.

The app has “No Equipment” workouts for travel, so you can maintain the program without the gear. But you’ll miss the full benefit.

GolfForever App

Navigation and User Experience

The app is intuitive. You can figure it out without instructions.

Home screen shows your daily workout, your Golf-Fit score, and access to the full library. Everything you need is one or two taps away.

I’d rate it a 7 out of 10. No major glitches or frustrations, but it’s not groundbreaking. It does what it needs to do without getting in the way.

You can cast workouts to a TV. I haven’t tried it, but the option is there if you want a bigger screen.

Golf Forever Workout Library

The app has 1,000+ workout videos across multiple categories:

Pre-Round Warmups – Quick routines before you tee off. I haven’t tried these yet.

Fundamentals – Core strengthening and stretching for golf muscles. A lot of isometric exercises. This is where I spend most of my time. Very effective.

Rotational Power – Rotation work with the Swing Trainer bar from different positions: standing, kneeling, golf stance, different angles. The workouts vary, but it’s all about building rotational strength.

No-Equipment Workouts – For when you’re traveling and don’t have the gear.

Injury Prevention – Stability and mobility work to avoid common golf injuries.

Cardio – Light to moderate cardio routines for endurance.

Stretching – Flexibility routines for recovery and range of motion.

Education & Pain Relief – Expert-led sessions on injury management and long-term health. I haven’t explored this section yet.

Golf Performance – Integrated workouts for on-course performance.

Lessons with Justin Leonard – Game improvement content. I’ve had one workout where he appeared. Seemed fine.

I’ve been using Fundamentals and Rotational Power exclusively. About 30 minutes combined. That’s where the program lives for me right now.

The Instructors

Multiple instructors lead the workouts. They all know their stuff.

They explain not just what to do, but why it matters for your golf swing. Hip rotation, shoulder turn, balance – they connect the exercise to the movement on the course.

I haven’t skipped any instructors. They’re all good at what they do.

Golf-Fit Scoring System

The app gives you points for completing workouts. Eight points per workout, plus five bonus points for extra sessions. Goal is 70 points per week.

It’s a little motivating if you need that kind of thing. I don’t. I know the program is effective because I feel it. The scoring system is there if you want external accountability, but it’s not essential.

The Workouts

Fundamentals Workouts

Fundamentals is strengthening and stretching for golf muscles. Lots of isometric exercises. Very effective.

You’re working on hip rotation, core stability, shoulder mobility – movements that directly impact your golf swing.

The instructors explain why each exercise matters and how it translates to the course.

These workouts run about 15-20 minutes. They’re not just warm-ups. You’ll feel it the next day if you’re not used to this kind of work.

Rotational Power Workouts

Rotational Power varies more than Fundamentals. You’re using the Swing Trainer bar with resistance bands from different positions: standing, kneeling, golf stance, different angles.

It’s all about building rotational strength and speed. The weighted ball attachments come into play here. You’re swinging the bar like a club, but it’s heavier, so you’re building power.

These run 20-25 minutes. Combined with Fundamentals, you’re looking at about 30 minutes total for a daily workout.

How Intense Are These Workouts?

On a scale of 1-10, maybe an 8 at the highest. (You govern this to an extent)

They consistently hit the right level. Not too easy, not impossible.

You can adjust difficulty by changing resistance bands (light to medium), adjusting your hand position on the bar, or stepping closer to or further from the anchor point.

You can choose harder (or easier) versions of many exercises. You have to be your own coach a bit and know when to push harder.

I’ve never felt like a workout was too easy or too hard.

My Favorite Sessions…So Far

Hip flexor lengthening and rolling. Isometrics for power and speed.

Isometrics for speed and power. Holding positions under resistance builds strength without the joint stress of traditional lifting.

Pre-Round Warmups

I haven’t tried these yet. The option is there in the app. Quick routines before you tee off.

I’ll test them when I’m playing more regularly and report back.

My Results After 3 Weeks

Distance Gains (Too Early to Tell)

I can’t give you distance numbers. Three weeks isn’t enough time, and I’m in the middle of a swing change. Any distance data would be meaningless.

Also, I’m already in good shape and do a lot of stretching on my own and have for years. I’m not the guy who goes from zero fitness to GolfForever and sees 20-yard gains. That’s not my baseline.

Because of the quality of the training, I’m confident I’ll see improvements as I go deeper into the program…and maybe get those extra 20 yards.

But right now? No measurable distance gains to report.

Flexibility and Mobility

Maybe some improvement, but marginal. Again, I stretch regularly already.

If you’re newer to fitness or are taking it serious for the first time in a while, expect your improvement to outpace my experience. .

Balance and Stability

Again, hard to say – I’ve only been through 8ish workouts.

The workouts definitely target balance and stability. Lots of single-leg work, core exercises from unstable positions. I can feel the program building that foundation.

Pain Relief (Not Why I Got It)

I had some right shoulder issues when I started. They’re better now, but that has nothing to do with GolfForever.

Pain relief wasn’t my goal with this program.

If you’re dealing with chronic back pain or knee issues, the Education & Pain Relief section might be worth exploring. I haven’t dug into it.

Note: Will definitely report back on ALL of this after I’m deeper into the program.

What’s Surprised Me, What Hasn’t

I’m not surprised by anything yet. It’s too early.

What I can tell you: The workouts feel effective. I’m sore in the right places. The exercises are golf-specific enough that I can see how they’ll translate to better movement on the course.

I feel great after the workouts. Not wiped out, not like I overdid it. Just loose and strong.

The program works. I’m sticking with it because I’m confident the long-term benefits will show up – better mobility, injury prevention, and eventually more distance.

GolfForever vs. The Competition

I’ve tried four golf-specific training programs at this point.
They’re all great in some way and have drawbacks.

DRVN

Axius Core

Hit It Great

GolfForever

DRVN

Kind of like Crossfit for golf. It’s all done from an app and you get a daily workout. A WOD.

They have a good variety of workouts, rep ranges, sequences, etc.

Best done in a gym with a good variety of equipment and not many people.

Why? Because you are going from exercise to exercise quite often.

Limitations I ran into: I’ve got knee and shoulder issues. So, some of the more explosive movements aren’t available to me.

I loved using it, but just couldn’t keep doing it thanks to the knee and shoulder.

Axius Core

Superb for your entire core – upper, middle, and lower. (Yeah, I didn’t know there were three parts of your core either)

It’s instructor led with customized workouts done after a physical evaluation by expert trainers.

Your personal trainer programs every workout you do and each workout you do is critiqued by your personal trainer.

Plus, you get a monthly face to face to discuss any problems and fine tune your workouts. And, they won’t hesitate to jump on a quick call more than once a month if you need it.

The workouts are done in an app and you’re required to buy the Axius machine for the workouts.

There’s a monthly charge for your trainer. I’m not positive what the fee is these days. I used the trainer for over a year and had great results. (probably should have continued)

Hit It Great

I did this one years ago. There was no app at the time, though there may be now.

The workouts and training were thorough and hit the right spots and were led by Joey D and some of his other trainers.

It’s a great program and I recommend it.

You’ll need to buy some equipment for the workouts.

GolfForever, it seems to me, is a notch above all of these in both the training and in the equipment you use to target the exact muslces you need for greater flexibility, speed, and function.

Who Should Buy GolfForever?

Any golfer interested in improving their game through fitness and golf specific training.

How well you play is irrelevant.

Skip it if you’ll just let it gather dust or you don’t have a space you can use to complete the workouts.

Final Verdict

GolfForever is the best golf-specific fitness program I’ve tested. The equipment is well-made, the workouts are effective, and the instructors know what they’re doing.

Three weeks isn’t enough time to show dramatic results, especially for someone who’s already in decent shape.

But I feel the workouts working. The exercises target the right muscles and movements for golf.

I’m confident the long-term payoff will be there – better mobility, injury prevention, and eventually more distance.

The real question: Will you use it? At $199/year after the equipment purchase, it’s a bargain compared to a personal trainer. But that only matters if you commit to 2-3 workouts per week.

I’m sticking with it. If you’re serious about longevity in this game and willing to put in the work, GolfForever is worth the investment.
