And yet, among these differences, one commonality certainly exists\u2014there isn\u2019t a golfer on the planet that doesn\u2019t desire a stronger, more reliable and more consistent golf swing. Enter the Fore-Max Golf Training System.<\/p>\n<p>Based out of The Westin Kierland Resort &amp; Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., the Fore-Max Training System was born from the idea that fitness and instruction are equally beneficial to those seeking to improve their game. \u201cOur focus has always been to encourage growth and enjoyment in the game of golf for each and every one of our guests through instruction, physical fitness and our exclusive pro-fit technology,\u201d says Steve Heller, Fitness Director at the Kierland Resort and developer of the Fore-Max System.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, <em>AFM<\/em> sat down with Heller to discuss Fore-Max, how it works and how thousands of players are reaping its benefits.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-580 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"westin golf 3\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3-80x76.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"568\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3-380x360.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175321\/westin-golf-3-80x76.jpg 80w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the philosophy behind the Fore-Max Golf Training System?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The philosophy behind the Fore-Max Golf Training system is simple: To encourage growth and enjoyment in the game of golf for players of all ages and ability levels through golf-specific fitness. We want to see golfers, no matter their ability levels, train like the \u201cpro\u2019s\u201d. [We] create an individualized workout program for amateur players, just like we do for our professional golfers, that will help them work on flexibility, conditioning and golf-specific strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In recent years, more attention has been drawn to creating athletic golfers, how is this beneficial in the short term and long term?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating a more athletic golfer helps in every aspect of an individual golfers game.\u00a0 When a golfer is more athletic, they carry themselves differently, have better posture and tend to be more confident. [In addition], they have a very positive outlook on and, just as importantly, off the golf course. When a golfer is in good shape, the physical side of the game of golf becomes a lot easier. The \u201ctechnical\u201d side of golf, which includes making actual swing changes with an instructor, can be very complicated and frustrating if the player \u201cphysically\u201d cannot accomplish what the instructor wants them to do. Creating a more \u201cathletic golfer\u201d helps not only the player, but the instructor as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does golf instruction play into the Fore-Max philosophy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have a great relationship with instructors all over the Valley, because we at Fore-Max are not necessisarily teaching the golf swing per se, but are trying to make our golfers more athletic and give their instructor a better player to teach from the technical perspective. When the golfer is in better shape and more athletic, he or she is also less likely to encounter some of the most common injuries in golf like back pain, shoulder pain and wrist pain.\u00a0 Also, an athletic golfer has less fatigue on the golf course, helping them concentrate and finish their rounds in good spirits, physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-581 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"westin golf 2\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2-80x53.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"399\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175325\/westin-golf-2-80x53.jpg 80w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does a typical Fore-Max Training session consist of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our sessions are 90 minutes in duration and are broken up into three distinct areas of emphasis. The first, and most important to us, is the area of overall flexibility. For the first 30 minutes of each session, players are taken through a full-body flexibility program focusing on each muscle group in the body, breathing, and posture. This routine is extremely golf specific, working on rotation and separation of the upper and lower body, something critical for increased club head speed and more consistent golf. The second 30 minutes of the workout focuses on getting the player more strength and range of motion in the core, back and hips. Using medicine balls, physio-balls, and the players own body weight, we spend vast amounts of time working on getting the player\u2019s \u201ccore\u201d muscles strong and powerful.\u00a0 No matter the age or gender of our students, the results of getting them flexible and strong in their core and hips proves huge gains in their golf swing. The last 30 minutes of our Fore-Max session works on getting the player some truly functional golf strength. This is done by getting the players to use all of our golf-specific strength aids as well as a wide variety of exercises to help the player achieve more \u201cgolf strength\u201d in their body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How easy is it for students to continue their Fore-Max training at home after departing from their stay at Kierland (i.e. if they aren\u2019t locals)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Easy! And that\u2019s why our program works! We teach golfers customized workout programs that they can easily accomplish at home, in their hotel room, on the road or even five minutes before they tee off.\u00a0 Our program is specifically designed without the use of much \u201cequipment,\u201d which can ultimately confine a student to working out in a gym. What we want is for our students to do all of their workouts with nothing more than a little space and minimal equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Having a student come to Kierland, go through a Fore-Max evaluation and head off with a customized take home manual is one of my favorite things to do! When we are creating these customized take home manuals for our guests, we go through a wide range of \u201ctesting\u201d on these students. We start off by going over what goals he or she has in their golf game, what kind of things they have done up till now to address their physical conditioning, and what kind of things they are working on from a technical perspective with their individual golf instructors. From there, we begin our different screenings. We test the individual\u2019s flexibility, balance and strength in order to get an understanding of what imbalances they might have from one to side of their body to the other, or from one muscle group to the next. We then try to teach them as many golf-specific exercises as we can to address our findings.\u00a0 Once the player has been tested and protocol has been designed, we like to test what the player is doing from a data standpoint when they hit a golf ball. This is where Fore-Max works hand in hand with our team over at Pro-Fit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-582 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"westin golf 4\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4-80x96.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"723\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4-380x458.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4-80x96.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/24175329\/westin-golf-4-66x80.jpg 66w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the benefit of having Pro-Fit on site?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pro-Fit, which is located at the Kierland Golf Club, takes my players and puts them on their Nike Flight Scope. This technology lets us look at the players swing speed, launch conditions and set composition when hitting a real golf ball on a real driving range.\u00a0 This data is extremely beneficial for me to create even more protocol for the players take home manual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of results can be achieved through the Fore-Max Training System?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using the Fore-Max Training System golfers will see a dramatic change in the following: increased driving distance due to increased body strength, increased stamina leading to consistency on the course, improvement in overall swing mechanics due to better rotational capabilities and posture as well as increased flexibility, which leads to a more fluid golf swing, injury prevention and
