I am just getting back into playing after 3-4 years off - very much not in golf shape upon my return :)

I have seen some people mention Joey D and his golf specific workout and I work with someone that is a firm believer in the P90 system. How do they compare? Will I get the same golf benefits out of the P90 system that i would get out of Joey D?

Any thoughts would be most appreciated...

Can't comment on Joey D but Tony Horton and his P90 series are fantastic for speed, balance, and overall strength. Done P90X2 and 3 many times they are awesome.

I don't know about Tony Horton, but I have Joey D's book "Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing" and I recommend it. The book has fitness tests to see what particular area in which you need the most work. The book gives you a "prescription" to fix whatever it is. 6 tests and specific exercises to address the specific problem. I was deficient in 3 of the 6....balance, hip turn, and shoulder turn.

In my opinion you are comparing apples to oranges. If you want to get in shape do P90, if you want to work on golf-specific exercises do Joey D.

Any of the Beach Body methods are as much about their diet plan as anything. To get the intended result really have to do everything. Any exercise will make you feel better but if looking better in the mirror is one of the measuring stick for you following the diet is important, there is some calorie restriction with the BB stuff. I have the Joey D book and it's meh if you are already fitness minded.

Agree. I do Joey D along with PX90 type exercises. The Joey D part is only 20 minutes.

    • Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly. 
    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
