Anthony has been involved in a lot of training and education programs relating to golf and fitness, almost too many to name! His early success as a trainer at Equinox Fitness Clubs fueled the creation of his own business, Five Iron Fitness. It eventually led him to open one of the country\u2019s first facilities dedicated to golf fitness in 2008 in White Plains, NY.\r\n\nDuring that time, he went to everything from small workshops at Equinox to Perform Better Summits to certifications like StrongFirst, RKC, Functional Range Conditioning, Functional Movement Screen, USA Weightlifting and the Titleist Performance Institute.\r\n\nIt was at those events that he created a number of strategic relationships with some of the big names in fitness and golf. He was able to leverage those relationships to create a series of training programs such as The Strength Coach Podcast, StrengthCoach TV, Stop and Give Me 20 Podcast, Tell Me About That Book Podcast, StrengthCoach.com\r\n\nHe believes that the best way to Improve Your Golf Game is to Improve Your Golf Body. Your Golf Body consists of all of the Movements, Muscles, Motions, and Patterns that are vital to the golf swing.\r\n\nAnthony Renna\u2019s Background\r\n\n\r\n\n* Anthony is a Level 3 Certified Golf Fitness Instructor and a Level 2 Junior Golf Coach (Titleist)\r\n\n* He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA)\r\n\n* He is a Level 1 StrongFirst (SFG) Kettlebell Instructor who has worked with elite and recreational golfers at his facility in New York\r\n\n* He caddied in the 100th US Open at Shinnecock in 1995 for a local pro named John Reeves\r\n\n* Anthony has consolidated all of his online entities in his new website http://continuefit.com/ (ContinueFit.com), where he has his entire list of podcasts, shows, and resources.\r\n\n\r\n\nHighlights from this Episode\r\n\n\r\n\n* Anthony\u2019s background and how he got into the world of golf and fitness at the age of 37.\r\n\n* How Anthony crafted strategic relationships with some of the big names in golf fitness and leveraged those relationships to create a media suite.

He was exposed to a lot of people who know a lot about golf fitness, and that had a huge effect on taking his knowledge to the next level.\r\n\n* How the game of golf has changed in regards to fitness. At first, it was a lot harder to get people to buy into the idea of golf fitness. Anthony was right there from the start and went through all of the doubt and skepticism, which we get into.\r\n\n* Some of the biggest mistakes that Anthony sees making in the gym when they\u2019re taking control of their fitness.
