About

Arleen Cauchi, NASM CPT (National Academy Sports Medicine, Certified Personal Trainer)

Founder of Boomer Fitness and Creator of Be Golf Fit

Arleen began her love of sports at the age of 9 when she began playing golf.

She learned the game of golf from the legendary Harold “Jug” McSpaden. Jug McSpaden and Byron Nelson were referred to as the “Gold Dust Twins” during their heyday of legendary golf duels in the 1940’s.

In 1945, when Nelson set the record for 11 wins in a row and 18 for the entire season, Jug set the record for second place finishes with 13. Were it not for Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden would be one of the most well known golfers in the world.

While Arleen was learning her swing from Jug, his wife Betsy taught her the rules of the game. Arleen played golf throughout her school years and competed in the Junior PGA.

Arleen acquired her business acumen during her 20-year career in high-tech. During these years she launched over 25 products.

Arleen became passionate about sports conditioning as a track coach. She began to see the lack of knowledge with so many athletes concerning the connection between proper conditioning and actual performance. She also took notice that her father, who was a runner and avid athlete, was seeing his golf game suffer in spite of his good conditioning.

It was then she decided to do something about it and Boomer Fitness was born.

With her extensive training in sports conditioning, personal training, flexibility training, and pilates she developed specialized training for the active aging market, but quickly realized her methods and her clients successful results crossed all age barriers.

Clients from ages 11-90 have used her programs and have achieved incredible results with her revolutionary style of sports specific and joint friendly fitness training.

Using her expertise as a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Arleen enlisted the aid of the following experts in designing a scientific approach to sports specific fitness training in order to avoid injury as well as condition the specific muscles and muscle groups used in each athletic endeavor.
