Golf Home Workout Guide: What Equipment to Buy at Every Budget

If you’re a golfer looking to improve your strength, mobility, and swing speed without leaving the house, you’re in the right place.

With the golfers I train, often the biggest barrier to success is time. This is because exercise is just one of a number of things they have to make time for. Whether it be working to tight deadlines in their jobs, running kids to after-school activities, or trying to find some time to socialise.

For this reason I’m often guiding the guys I work with on how to build a home setup that will meet their needs without requiring a huge investment or space.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best golf workout equipment for home, broken down by budget. Whether you’ve got £100 or £1,000 to spend, you’ll learn exactly what to buy to create a home gym that actually improves your game.

Adjustable Dumbbells (up to 24kg each)

Adjustable Bench

Kettlebell (10–20kg)
