Our Story
Seattle to Scottsdale: A Proven System for Golf Performance
Scottsdale Golf Performance is the newest chapter in a journey that began in 2018, when our founder Daniel Marinello started Seattle Golf Fitness. With humble beginnings in a subleased gym space, Daniel focused on one goal: helping golfers move better, play pain-free, and enjoy the game longer. Within just nine months, his schedule was completely booked.
In 2020, Seattle Golf Fitness opened its first dedicated facility, creating a home designed specifically for golf performance training. By 2021, the team welcomed its first full-time coach, Zach Johnson, who later became SGF’s first Director of Performance. The team then began to grow rapidly.
That growth and momentum led to the launch of Vancouver Golf Performance in 2023, bringing our proven system north of the border and helping even more golfers reach their potential.
Now, after years of building our team, refining our programs, and earning national recognition, we are proud to open Scottsdale Golf Performance in 2025. Our mission remains the same as it was in those early days: provide golfers of all levels with personalized, science-driven training to unlock their best game.
Our Philosophy
Evaluate
Every golfer is unique. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to identify your strengths, limitations, and movement patterns. This gives us the roadmap to build a plan that fits your body and your goals.
Train
Using science-based, golf-specific training, we focus on building strength, mobility, and power that directly translate to your swing. Each program is individualized and guided by experienced coaches.
Perform
The ultimate goal is to play better golf. Our system helps you swing more efficiently, reduce injury risk, and perform with confidence on the course.
