MOVE WELL. PLAY WELL.
Pilates for Golfers
Your swing starts with your body.
A controlled turn, a stable stance and coordinated movement all depend on how freely—and how well—you can move. Private Classical Pilates sessions with Francisco Benitez focus on the mobility, strength and body control that support these demands.
At our private studio in Guadalmina Alta, Marbella, each session is tailored to you: your movement, your experience and what you want to work towards on the course. Precise instruction, original Gratz apparatus and more than two decades of teaching experience.
The movement behind your swing
A golf swing asks different parts of your body to work together: your hips turn, your trunk rotates, your shoulders and arms guide the club, and your feet provide a stable connection with the ground. The challenge is to coordinate that movement with control.
If turning feels restricted, maintaining your posture takes effort or your finish feels unbalanced, more practice alone may not address the physical difficulty. Working on how you move can complement what you learn with your golf professional.
Classical Pilates brings attention to these foundations. Through carefully selected exercises, we work on hip and upper-back mobility, trunk strength and balance—helping you develop movement you can control, rather than simply a greater range.
Purposeful training.
Personal attention.
Your sessions begin with how you move, not with a fixed routine. We look at your mobility, control and experience, then choose work that is appropriate for you.
Our PILATES FOR GOLF PROGRAM brings together a specific sequence of Classical Pilates exercises focused on the mobility, stability and movement control that golf demands. The sequence is adapted to your individual needs, experience and ability.
Progress is gradual and personal. The work develops with you, complementing your golf practice rather than replacing instruction from your golf professional.
Experienced guidance, close to your course
Francisco Benitez brings more than two decades of Pilates teaching experience to every session, including direct study with Romana Kryzanowska. At his private studio in Guadalmina Alta, Marbella, you work with the same instructor throughout, allowing him to understand your movement and follow your progress over time.
Golfers already training at the studio have reported improvements in how they feel and move when playing. Their experiences are individual, but they reflect the value of giving physical preparation a regular place alongside practice and golf lessons.
The approach is attentive and practical: clear instruction, carefully chosen exercises and a level of challenge adapted to you. Sessions are available in English, German and Spanish, making it easy to discuss your goals and understand the work.
Invest in the body behind your game
You put care into your golf. Make physical preparation part of that commitment.
Whether your priority is a freer turn, better balance or staying active on the course for years to come, private Classical Pilates offers focused time to work on your movement.
Start with a conversation about your golf, how you feel when playing and what you would like to improve. Your first session with Francisco will introduce the apparatus and establish a starting point for work tailored to you.
