Equipment - Technogym
our ongoing investment in R&D for
our products, innovation and quality
standards.”
As the Official Supplier of the PGA TOUR
Player Performance Centers, Technogym
will outfit the fitness centers with the
highest performing sports equipment
including SKILLRUN Treadmills and
SKILLTOOLS.
SKILLRUN allows TOUR players to
perform traditional cardiovascular
training and instantly transition to lower
body power training. The Biofeedback
feature provides the Player with real
time feedback on their running efficiency
to maximize results and minimize
lower body overuse injuries. Sled
pushing allows for lower body power
development without the need for high
risk exercises while simultaneously
creating core activation. Additionally,
there is an extreme incline feature
allowing Players to train in a wide range
of inclines. This helps with lower body
strength and power development,
while increasing the cardiovascular
demand, and training up to a -3% decline
simulating the downhill undulations they
face on the course.
SKILLTOOLS are a variety of
performance tools that create a wide
range of training modalities for the
players, for total body mobility, stability,
and power development within their
workouts, before a round of golf, or for
recovery after a round of golf.
“We are excited about the next
generation of fitness services that we
will be able to provide for our athletes
on the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR
Champions,” said Andy Levinson, PGA
TOUR Senior Vice President Tournament

Administration. “These new and
improved facilities coupled with our staff
of world-class athletic trainers, physical
therapists and chiropractors will allow
us to meet the increasing demand of our
athletes.”
The fitness centers are part of the
Player Performance Centers that travel
to 62 events between the PGA TOUR
and PGA TOUR Champions each year.
The Centers are made up of two sets of
semi-trailers (four total) that navigate
the mainland and Canada each year,
representing a considerable investment
with a goal of providing a consistent and
trusted training center for the players.
In addition to two fitness centers for
performance and training, players have
access to two wellness centers dedicated
to therapy and recovery. Each unit logs
more than 24,000 miles annually.
