Pilates for Golfers

Pilates for Golfers

 

Do you want to improve your golf swing? Gain a few extra yards on your swing? Would you like to learn strategies and exercises to decrease back and shoulder pain during your swing? The golf swing is a complex movement that requires many different components including: postural control, balance,  coordination, flexibility, stability, and muscular strength and power. In this virtual workshop, Long + Lean Pilates master instructor and physical therapist Jenn Olszowy will guide you through 4 hour long Pilates classes structured around the 5 main components of a golf swing. You will learn which specific areas you individually need to focus on to improve your game while also improving your general body awareness, strength, and mobility.

The classes will all take place live via Zoom so Jenn can correct your form, guide you through the exercises, and answer your questions. We highly recommend you take class live so you can received personalized instruction and corrections, but we will provide recordings of each class so you can watch later if the scheduled time doesn’t work for you! You will also receive a handout with exercises for you to continue doing on your own for a pain free and efficient golf swing.

In this virtual series you will:

  • Learn to breathe properly and coordinate your breath with your movement for efficiency and power
  • Improve mobility of your spine
  • Increase rotation and extension of your upper back
  • Strengthen your hips and glutes for a more powerful swing
  • Learn to properly engage your deep core to protect your spine while moving your body freely
  • Improve balance and coordination
  • Learn strategies to keep your body strong and mobile for an improved, pain free golf game

Preorder your own personal Reformer loops! The loops can be used on the Reformer or Cadillac for all during both group classes and private sessions. Simply bring the loops with you to the studio and swap out the studio loops for your own loops before class starts. Your instructor can help you with setup and guide you in making sure you have the correct length or deciding between short and long loops if you have the double loops! 

You have three great types of loops to choose from: double padded, single padded, and basic single loops. The double loops resemble those used in the L+L studio. With the double loops, you get the convenient option of using the shorter or longer loop, depending on the exercise. The single padded loops give you the enjoyment of extra cushioning during your workout, and the basic single loops provide all the essential elements you need in a loop at the most affordable price. All loops can be used easily during classes!

These loops come in a variety of color options so you can pick your favorite! The padded loops add extra comfort during your exercises and are made with eco-friendly sweat-proof padding material. All loops are made with nylon webbing, which makes them easy to clean with soap and water or in your washing machine.

With cleanliness at the forefront of our minds, we want you to feel safe knowing that your loops have only been handled by you. Click on the loops below to determine which style and color are a perfect fit for you or shop directly at the L+L Online Shop!

Virtual Classes + Private Sessions

Joseph Pilates once said “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.” This message is especially important today. While the COVID-19 virus has made us close our doors, it has not stopped us from connecting with our community and continuing to do the thing that makes us feel amazing, Pilates! We have adapted all of our services to virtual or outdoor offerings so you still get the same great teachers and instruction while the studio is closed.

Virtual Private Sessions

If you are looking for more personal instruction and feedback, we continue to offer our signature private and duet sessions virtually. Each session will be designed specifically for your needs and goals and your instructor will guide you through movements and adjust your form so it is safe and effective for you. If you are new to Pilates and would like to participate in our group classes, setting up a private session first can help you prepare and get the most out of your class. Your instructor will assess your posture and movement habits, discuss your health history and goals, and suggest any modifications that you may need to make in your group classes.

Contact us here to schedule a private or duet session. We can use Zoom, Skype or FaceTime- whatever works best for you!
