I’ve trained with Jim at Core Golf for over a year. The programming balances mobility and strength with golf moves behind each exercise. I sometimes felt like the Karate Kid, except it was golf. Jim has a tremendous knowledge of anatomy and exercise science, and I highly recommend him and Core Golf if you are looking to improve your game.

Jim and Fred have helped my golf game immensely over the years. I’ve been with them both for over a decade. Its the fitness that pros get, which is even more important for older golfers IMO to maintain the games of our youth. Anybody who loves golf NEEDS to go to CORE GOLF PERFORMANCE!

It’s been said that the greatest equalizer in life is age. Continuous pounding on the body will impact us all. Bone on bone on my left hip made it challenging to walk, yet alone play golf. Had total hip replacement surgery at HSS in NY, October 2021. Cleared to get back to exercise + in January 2022. Was looking for sports rehab and came across TPI, Core Golf and Jim. Jim is level 3 certified . Initial plan was to train for three months in prep for the upcoming golf season. Results were so positive that I continue to train twice a week.Jim provides an initial assessment / evaluation and tailors a program to your needs and possible limitations. Customer service is second to none. Workouts are varied and camaraderie with other guys is great. My strength, flexibility, and endurance has improved tremendously and better than ten years ago. Yes you will gain distance with all clubs. Highly recommend Jim for anyone serious about golf and overall fitness. Lessons, practice, equipment fitting are important, but you need core strength and flexibility so you can continue playing and enjoy life.FYI, I’m also an avid bowler and have seen quite an improvement in ball speed and revolutions, while increasing my average.

Jim has helped me gain more distance and accuracy on my golf shots. In addition to the golf benefits he has helped my overall fitness level. My back hasn’t felt this good in years.

I've worked with Jim for many years and I have found him to be professional, organized and always well prepared in my training sessions. The facility is organized and clean which says something about the way he runs his business. I originally looked for a golf fitness trainer and Jim had the advanced certifications that only a few have. He provided corrective exercise sessions that greatly increased my mobility, flexibility and strength. I've worked with other trainers in the past but Jim is by far the best. I highly recommend.

Core golf is amazing. The facility is state of the art, and the equipment is always spotless. Jim is a tremendous trainer who gets the best out of his clients. Working with him completely transformed my golf game and I was a college player to begin with. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Core golf. I have watched Jim transform golfers of all skill levels for the better and would recommend him to anybody.

Jim and his team are the best around. From general fitness to golf specific workouts, they know their stuff and keep the workouts fresh. The facility is extremely clean and the equipment is well maintained. I highly recommend an assessment from Jim and you’ll quickly get a sense of what he can do for you.

Jimmy was my personal trainer for many years. His dedication and attention to detail was outstanding! He has great knowledge of the body and can pin point any issues you are having and be able to correct them with ease. The gym was immaculate from top to bottom! He is a great motivator and teacher. I highly recommend him!!!

Selina BrownI have been a client of Jim LaFratt for 18 years.When I first became his client I was in need of a serious surgery, my surgeon advised me as a last resort to hire a corrective exercise trainer. Not just a personal trainer. The difference has changed my life. I never needed the surgery .Over the years, through Jim’s expertise and knowledge of the body, I have made great strides with my health. My hour of training is as important to Jim as it is to me. He makes sure my exercises are done correctly and in relationship to what my physical needs are.Returning to my workout after the COVID 19 restrictions were lifted was never a concern to me. Jim’s facility has always been impeccably clean. For as long as I’ve been his client, it has always been top of the line in cleanliness. Jim has always made sure every mat is wiped down, every piece of equipment is clean and in its proper place. That is a part of Jim’s personality that he carries into his business . Jim makes sure that he and everyone adheres to the guidelines set forth by the government for his business. He is even more sensitive and active about providing a safe and healthy workout environment

I have been a client of Fred and Core Performance Golf for over 2 years. The training has exceeded my expectations. I thought I was going to get " in shape" but got something so much more. Fred targeted my training to improve weaknesses in my body as well as improved my flexibility, strength and stamina. I no longer feel tired after playing golf or get tight after cooling down.The facility itself is made to feel exactly like the personal training you expect. It is clean, organized and friendly. As a germophobe, i am so comfortable on how they clean the equipment and mats after each training.

Jim LaFratte is just the best! He's incredibly knowledgeable, fun and energetic and his facility is state-of-the-art. I'm a 62-year-old golfer and paddle tennis player. Since starting to train with Jim 2 years ago, my handicap has dropped 5 points. More importantly, I've been playing golf and paddle injury and pain free. Jim mixes flexibility and strength training together in a way that is both productive and fun. His workouts are never dull and the crew that works out at Core is really fun. He has an incredible talent for identifying what each person needs most from their fitness training.
