New Golf Fitness Center Opens This Week in Naperville

Beginning the week of February 2, golfers will be able to get golf-specific fitness training and golf lessons all at the same location. Brooks Golf Academy Training Center opens its doors at Springbrook Golf Course, offering both group and individual fitness training and individual fitness assessment.

NASM Golf Fitness Specialist and PGA Professional Todd Russell, will design performance based training to enhance overall golf performance and prevent injuries.

“With the opening of the Brooks Golf Academy Training Center, Springbrook Golf Course is one of only a few golf courses that offer integrated golf instruction and golf-specific fitness training as a one-stop shop,” said Russell.

According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, studies have shown that a progressive functional training program can improve several components of golf performance, including club-head speed. Adults of all ages benefitted from an 8-week program, as did participants between the ages 55 and 79.

A variety of training programs and packages are available at the Brooks Golf Academy Training Center for participants age 16 and up. Interested golfers may register for these programs at www.golfnaperville.org or call Springbrook Golf Course at 630-848-5060.

Springbrook Golf Course plans to host a public open house to showcase the Brooks Golf Academy Training Center in April 2015.
