Riikka Webb (née Hakkarainen) has won four professional Tour titles around the world in her career so far. She is considered a ”pioneer of professional golf” in her native country of Finland after many successful years on Tour and has over 20 years experience in Golf Fitness.
Often my clients come to me with back pain or various other injuries and they don’t really know what to do with their golf and fitness. They have recurring swing faults, would like to get stronger, fitter, feel more energetic, hit further, play pain free but don’t really know how to do it. I have created Golf Performance and personal training for everyone who is passionate about their game, wants to get results, be fitter and live a healthier lifestyle!
What separates my service from other fitness experts who do golf specific fitness is that I have done it myself! Throughout my career as a Tour player I trained with leading teaching professionals in Europe and United States such as Chuck Cook and Bill Moretti, both awarded PGA of America Teacher of the Year. I have also always worked with highly skilled international specialists in strength and conditioning; Al Vermeil, Strength & Conditioning Coach for Chicago Bulls NBA Basketball Team, Tapio Korjus, Olympic gold medallist, Javelin in Seoul 1988, Jarmo Ahonen, Finnish Olympic Team Physiotherapist.
After life on Tour I became a teaching professional, but was puzzled that my clients often came back with the same swing faults even if they tried their hardest. I concluded that their body wasn’t strong or mobile enough to make changes!
That’s why I created Golf Performance.
Golf Performance is based on each individual player, their posture, spinal angles, unique strengths/weaknesses in their body; like flexibility, muscle strength, muscle imbalances which all shows on the swing, game and/or posture. It combines Titleist Performance (TPI), and CHEK Institute, Pilates and ELDOA training methods and includes 55 different tests where we focus on:
- Swing posture/mechanics, muscular balance on and off the course
- Core function/possible weak links
- Overall lifestyle factors that affect your golf
My clients receive individual fitness programs which help them to get stronger for their game, shoot lower scores and feel overall great with their bodies!
We have limited training places so please fill in the form and start your training today!
