The most commonly reported golf injuries involve the lower back, and many blame the golf swing. The truth is that having an improper "S-posture" on the tee is an indication of posture. It may look like retired PGA tour pro Arron Oberholtzer is practicing a line dance for a wedding; but this poorly choreographed exercise is actually one of the best ways to teach your body how to.

Even golfing naturals have to spend time perfecting their technique and they continue to practice. But what often gets overlooked by your regular golfer is that your overall fitness is key. You see, what few hackers ever realize (but you now KNOW) is that 'golf specific fitness' helps you to define your problem areas and then helps you perfect your technique faster than you ever thought possible.
FitRanX is a comprehensive and standardized ranking system used for gauging individuals' fitness levels. This is not a system based on how long you have been at a facility or how much your fitness trainer thinks you have improved. This is a REAL ranking system that took years to develop and perfect.

This place is better than we imagined. I say we because my wife and I have been going to Method Athlete for the past three months.
We started training with Damon for golf fitness, but quickly realized what we were doing would help anyone who cares about their fitness. Damon is so good at the golf swing and has shown us ways to improve stability, mobility and strength. His knowledge goes way past the golf swing and he has helped me with my comeback from a total hip replacement as well as ways to alleviate pain in my lower back.
We all want more length when we hit the ball and with one drill

This place is the real deal. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, or recovery process, the training staff at Method Athlete will help you down the right path. What I love most is that every trainer is very personable & open to helping you, even if you aren't their direct customer. My Trainer, Damon, has an incredible understanding of how muscles effect movement and takes a physical therapy approach to strength and performance training. His methods have also made we very aware of how my body moves (& should move) throughout my golf swing. My game has improved tremendously

If you love golf and want to lower your scores immediately you MUST go see Damon at Method Athlete!! I am a guy that has spent hundreds, no make that thousands of dollars on so called "traditional" golf lessons that did not work for me at all! Within 5 sessions with Damon I have cut 7 strokes off my score and am hitting it 20 yards further off the tee. Golf has become fun for me again! Damon teaches you how to MOVE your body properly so you can finally maintain spine angle, get that Lag in your swing that all the pros have and finally feel and understand what "swinging from the ground up" actually

Can't say enough good things about Damon, Method, and the staff! As age and stiffness were restricting my golf swing, my golf pro, Paul Trittler, suggested I see Damon Shelton to improve my flexibility and range of motion. Damon's expertise and experience were immediately evident as he quickly sorted out my issues and prescribed a series of exercises and stretches that dramatically improved my ability to swing the club. It's important to note that there are lots of other happy clients making progress toward their goals in this relaxed, professional atmosphere. Highest marks all

Method Athlete is the best gym I have ever been to. I say this because it's not a "gym", it's an extended family of like minded professional trainers. They take their jobs seriously, but not themselves. I have seen dramatic changes in my overall health since joining. If you stop by just once you will see what I mean. There are people of all ages and levels of ability. It is the best training environment you will find in the valley.

I have tried several gyms, always exited at first, but then bored and losing my drive to continue. I love Method Athlete!!!! This is a place you come to not only become stronger physically and mentally, but to be a part of a family. From the moment you walk in you feel right at home. Each trainer has a unique background, bringing a special part of them to each client. Trainer John has a way of making you never want to disappoint him, pushing you farther then you ever thought you could!!! He listens to you, set goals, and then helps you execute them. You can tell, he truly enjoys helping people

I originally started looking for a gym where my workouts would be more focused on weight training and building strength than around endurance. I was introduced to Method by a friend and instantly fell in love. Working out with John opened up a whole new level for me. He has a way about him that makes you never want to disappoint. He is always pushing you to the next level. He listened to what I wanted to do. I now have the definition in my muscles that I have always wanted. To make the gym even better its a one on one atmosphere with other trainers and clients working out around you (very motivating

If you're looking for a great place to train with a trainer who invests himself in helping you achieve the results you're after....look no further. Andrew Fodge has helped me lose body fat, increase my endurance and correct some hip issues I was dealing with. Our workouts are always challenging, full of variety and effective! I would recommend Andrew and the Scottsdale Personal Training team to anyone, no matter what your goal is!
