Foremax Golf Training Systems at the Westin Kierland Resort

Foremax Golf Training Systems increases Functional Golf Strength, Flexibility, Stamina, and Overall Fitness

By Brian Weis

Foremax Golf Training Systems, an exclusive golf fitness program at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, is designed to improve accuracy and distance off the tee while enhancing an overall fitness lifestyle.

Developed by the Resort's fitness director, Steve Heller, this one-of-a-kind training system is based on three distinct areas of emphasis: flexibility, functional golf strength, and aerobic conditioning. The result is a personalized workout program that is virtually guaranteed to increase driving distance and accuracy.

Depending on the player, results range from incremental improvement to dramatic changes in swing speed and distance. On average, players see an increase of 15 -20 yards on their drive, an 8-10 mph increase in club head speed and a 60% increase in tightness of dispersion pattern of ball flight.

Since the program's inception in November 2002, Heller has worked with several professionals, including Jeff Quinney and Nationwide Tour players Chris Cox, Jin Park, and Warren Schute. LPGA players have included Pat Hurst, Grace Park and Marcy Heart.

Approximately 30% of Heller's clientele consists of junior golfers, who realize that physical fitness is vital to gaining a competitive edge over other players. Heller is currently training Phillip Frances, 2006's Rolex Junior Player of The Year, Ester Choe, 2006's Rolex Junior Player of The Year and Ashley Smith, Canada's Junior Golf Champion.

Foremax is just one element of The Kierland Golf Club's "Complete Golf Experience," which brings together championship golf, the best exercise physiology, top golf instruction, on-site golf equipment fitting and the latest in golf technology.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the Publisher of GolfTrips.com, a network of golf travel and directory sites including GolfWisconsin.com, GolfMichigan.com, ArizonaGolfer.com, GolfAlabama.com, etc. Professionally, Brian is a member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA) and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG). In 2016, Brian won The Shaheen Cup, an award given to a golf travel writer by his peers.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf. Brian had a zero chance for a college golf scholarship, so he worked on the grounds crew at West Bend Country Club to pay for his University of Wisconsin education. In his adult years, his passion for the game collided with his entrepreneurial spirit and in 2004 launched GolfWisconsin.com. In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.

On the golf course, Brian is known as a fierce weekend warrior that fluctuates between a 5-9 handicap. With a soft fade, known as "The Weis Slice", and booming 300+ drives, he can blast it out of bounds with the best of them.
