Youtube Golfer's necessary approach to training off the course.

George Bryan is not alone at PGA Tour School - training in the gym is a priority even if it doesn’t bring the same thrill as training on the range. The co-star of Bryan Bros Golf talks with DRVN about the need for an efficient training program to support a competitive golf career and we explore how a focused fitness training has impacted his game for the better.

Because skill-specific practice dominates a competitive golfer’s schedule, Bryan follows a specific fitness regimen using the DRVN App which allows him to train at home with minimal equipment about 2-3 times per week. Despite not being naturally drawn to fitness, Bryan maintains his training routine for a dual purpose.

As Tiger demonstrated for decades - achieving high levels of fitness will help golfers achieve their best on the course. However, training for peak performance supports the energy and focus required to maintain a heavy travel schedule and training long hours at the range.

Bryan’s specific training plan focuses on several components that can benefit golfers at various skill levels:

1. Lower Body Strength: Developing stronger, more active legs creates a solid foundation for the golf swing and helps generate power from the ground up.

2. Core Stability: An engaged core helps connect the upper and lower body movements, potentially leading to more consistent ball striking and improved power transfer.

3. Overall Fitness: The general confidence that comes from improved physical condition may positively impact performance during rounds and support long training days.

   
   

The relationship between fitness and golf performance demonstrates how physical training can complement technical swing work. By improving overall physical capabilities, golfers can potentially enhance their swing mechanics without necessarily making technical changes.

During a recent visit to South Carolina, we documented one of Bryan's typical workout sessions to provide insight into his training approach:
