The Evolution of GolfGym
The original GolfGym from 1987
In the Beginning
Over 20 years ago Ken Pierce along with a golf professional and sports physiologist invented a compact but powerful golf-specific training device. They called it a “golf gym” because that’s how you could use it; it did all the things one could do in a gym and was specifically designed to strengthen and improve a player’s golf fitness.
Ken and the team at Advantage Fitness, a sports and fitness marketing company, immediately recognized the benefits of such a device and they coined the name “GolfGym” and patented its unique design. It was soon part of the “Quik-Fit” product line introduced by ABC Sports’ Bud Palmer and endorsed by Bob Toski who called it “the best training and conditioning product ever introduced.”

GolfGym Today
Today, Ken and Vicki Pierce and the GolfGym company have surrounded their original product with a range of products all designed with the same intent: to improve a golfer’s conditioning through the use of golf-specific training products. There are two weighted clubs with weighting that mimics the balance of a standard club, a balance/stability ball, also in two sizes and two advanced DVDs for people that master the DVD training that comes with each product.
Adding the Joey D Signature Series of Products to the existing GolfGym product line coupled with his acclaimed methods and unequaled knowledge of the biomechanics of the golf swing, there is no question that we will build a company dedicated to making a huge impact in golf performance worldwide.
