We screen how your body actually moves, shows you which restrictions are stealing your speed, and builds golf-specific training around exactly those. TPI Level 3 coaching. Golf Digest's Best Fitness Trainers in America, 2025 to 2026.
Your swing isn't the problem. Your body might be.
You've taken lessons. You've watched the YouTube videos. But if your hips don't rotate, your shoulders won't turn, your swing speed won't be going up.
Most gym programs ignore golf entirely. You end up stronger in ways that don't translate to the course. Golf-specific training fixes that.
Golf-specific strength training, mobility sessions, and 1-on-1 personal training in Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and Vancouver, WA. Membership and group classes available.

What golfers say about training with Scott
Rated 5 from 62 Google reviews.
“Finally achieved a sub 5 handicap. Thanks Scott!!!”
David SeppiSource: via Google
“I've been working with Scott for the past few months. The wealth of golfing knowledge that Scott possesses, along with his understanding of general body mechanics, creates a super comprehensive experience. We've been able to improve my golf game on multiple fronts, including exercise, general conceptualization, and data. This dude is a true student of the game, but most importantly, he's a great instructor. When I first went in, my swing was 93mph, and within a few weeks, I was up to 110mph. And we're still going up! I can't recommend Scott enough. If you want to improve your game, give this man a call.”

“Scott knows his stuff. Highly recommend!”
Mike EntenmanSource: via Google
“I've never felt better playing golf. In our first session, I went from hitting my 7 iron about 150 yards. By the end, I was consistently hitting 180, 190, even 200 yards! — all without pain, discomfort, or fatigue. Scott has a firm understanding of how the body works in relation to the golf club. If you've struggled to learn golf by trying to get the club to different things, stop what you're doing. Go to Golf Gym today to learn what your body should be doing. The results will speak for themselves!”

“The Golf Gym and Scott are a great time! I was nursing chronic hip pain for two years and my golf game was struggling. In a matter of a couple months Scott had me back stronger, pain free and hitting the ball farther than I had before the injury. Highly recommend!”

“Scott is so kind and will really push you to be the athlete you aspire to be!”

“As soon as Scott became my trainer I saw an immediate correlation with better scores, more strength, and much more distance. His mobility curriculum is incredible and my back which has a great deal of issues became indescribably better and more flexible. If you want to get better at golf mobility and strength work are imperative and Scott is the guy who can get you right!”

“Scott knows his stuff. I have ran through many evaluations in my life, and the details provided in this particular evaluation were top notch. Get in and see him when you can.”

“The Golf Gym has been amazing. My wife and I trained together and each one of us hit the ball longer because of our increased strength and flexibility. Our GHIN’s also reflect the improvement. We highly recommend The Golf Gym!”

“Scott is a jewel. I have only had two sessions but already know it is helping me with strength, flexibility and swing speed/length off the tee. He is great at explaining exercises, sends great personalized videos so I can do them at home and is super encouraging.”
Louis LibbySource: via Google
“Highly recommend Scott! I am mid single digit HCP and I have been working out at the golf gym for a few months now. Scott is a golfer, he is super knowledgeable with golf functional training and has all kinds of workouts to improve rotational strength. I am seeing significant improvements with my swing speed in just a few months. Looking forward to continuing the work outs at golf gym to improve my golf game, stay fit and prevent injuries.”
