Charley Hull has often shared visuals from the gym with her 820K followers on Instagram. Needless to say, working out in the gym helps improve one’s swing and balance. But Hull has a different perspective. 

Back in February 2025, talking to Sky Sports, the three-time LPGA winner revealed that she doesn’t train for golf. She did reveal her fitness goals of running 5 km in 20 minutes. But it wasn’t related to her game. 

Hull said, “I have zero interest in training for golf. I think golf training is a load of rubbish.”

“I just train because it’s good for my mental health and it’s good for me. And I wnat to be an athlete. I just don’t want to be a golfer. So, and I enjoy it. It’s like a hobby to me.”

Hull made clear that her physical work is not about swing mechanics or marginal gains. Her approach challenges the assumption that elite golfers must live inside hyper-specialized routines to succeed. 

Instead, she has prioritized sustainability and mental clarity. Her confession might sound blunt, but it also rejects burnout. And with that, she can put more focus on winning at golf. 

On top of that, Charley Hull hits the gym for another interesting reason. 

Charley Hull Works Out to Ensure a Good Day

About a year ago, the PGA coach and broadcaster, Rachel Drummond, had an interview with Hull. Therein, the Englishwoman revealed how a good workout leads to a good day, overall. 

“If you’re having a down day, you just literally just carry on out there and just pull along. I love going to the gym,” Charley Hull stated. “Gym is like my happy place.” 

“And then coming out and smashing onto the golf course, I feel like if I’ve done a good gym session, I can literally tackle anything in the day.” 

This routine aligns with dopamine-driven motivation. Exercise boosts dopamine, and that, in turn, improves mood and focus. It also helps her enter tournaments with a toned mindset. 

But what do you think about Hull’s take on working out in the gym?
