Frustrated with your golf game? Have you tried lessons and hours on the driving range to no avail? How about unlocking your swing potential with a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) golf class right here in Verandah’s Fitness Center.
Every Thursday morning at 9:00 AM, TPI Certified Coach, Justin Check works with Verandah residents to improve their swing mechanics with varying dynamic exercises and drills: hip mobility, thoracic mobility, core control, and coil sequencing.
“The feedback has all around been very positive and most people who try it come back regularly,” said Justin. Some participants have had a misunderstanding of what the role is of a TPI golf fitness and performance coach versus a swing coach or golf pro. As a TPI golf fitness and performance coach, I do not coach on stance, grip, or help with making changes to swing style. My focus is purely on increasing a golfer’s physical capabilities.”
The TPI philosophy states that “There is no single way to swing a club, rather an infinite number of swing styles. There is, however, one efficient way for every player to swing, and it is based on what the player can physically do.
“Justin has been a great help to my golf game,” said Peter Pristach. “He identified my mobility issues and devised a plan to address my needs. It is a slow process but definitely noticeable improvement comes quickly if you do the exercises consistently.
Teaching and training in Verandah for almost 11 years, Justin has dedicated his career to helping clients achieve their personal best, whether that’s building functional strength, improving mobility/movement quality, enhancing swing & athletic performance, recovering from injury/dysfunction, or dialing in a sustainable nutrition plan.
“I have been able to improve my flexibility to increase the length of my swing and get more rotation which has given me back 10 yards off the tee,” said Tom Rath. “I plan to continue to work on my flexibility and core control to gain back even more distance.”
Justin and his wife Stephanie, who is also a Verandah fitness instructor and trainer, own Check Total Health. They offer expert fitness and nutrition coaching directly to clients. Their concierge-style service is built around performance, personalized nutrition, and functional training that fits individual lifestyles. Their motto is: Move Better. Eat Smarter. Live longer.
