Kyle Carothers 

MS, NSCA, CPT/CSCS, FMS

Titleist Performance Institute Certified Level 2

As the current owner of Power Stroke Fitness, Kyle brings a wealth of passion, knowledge and experience in the area of strength and conditioning for rotational athletes, specifically golfers.  Kyle gained his initial experience and love for rotational sports as a youth level baseball player finding success in the sport through college and one year professionally. 

 

Following his baseball career, Kyle immersed himself into the strength and conditioning world working several years as first a personal trainer then a strength and conditioning coach while becoming certified in both by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NCSA). 

 

Most notably he served as a sports performance coach for several athletic programs at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. During that time, he was also the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Foothills Physical Therapy, here in Gilbert, AZ, where he worked with players from age 8-18.  It was there that he discovered a love for the excitement and challenge that youth athletes provide. 

 

In 2008, Kyle earned a Master’s Degree from Arizona State University in Exercise and Wellness with a special emphasis in Sports Performance.  Following these experiences, Kyle ventured into the world of coaching.  First he spent 5 years as an assistant baseball coach at Arizona Western College in Yuma, AZ, where he was also in charge of the team’s strength program.

 

After returning to the East Valley, he spent another year as an assistant at Scottsdale Community College.  With Kyle’s divergent and unique experiences, he returned to the world of strength and conditioning and discovered a new passion, golf.  This led him to a certification through the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) (sponsored by the golf company Titleist dedicated to improving strength and conditioning specifically for golfers) for which he has earned both a level 1 and level 2 certification. 

 

Since his certification in April of 2018, Kyle started his business, Power Stroke Fitness, and has dedicated himself to learning everything that he can about ways to improve power, efficiency, consistency, and performance for golfers of all ages.  Kyle’s ultimate vision is to not only improve the game, but also the lives of all players through the medium of golf fitness.  Kyle currently resides in Gilbert with his wife Brianna and his 4 children Peter, Kinley, Cade and Quinn.
