D1 Training - Franchise
We’re Not Your Ordinary Gym Franchise! Step into a D1 Training facility and you’ll immediately recognize that we’re not your average big-box membership gym. Unlike those gyms, which charge small membership fees and provide little in the way of service or support, D1 assembles teams of highly qualified coaches, fitness experts, and support personnel to provide our clients with a balance of cardio workout and strength training typically reserved for elite athletes at Division 1 schools. In fact, many of our staff and owners were elite athletes at D1 schools. It takes the best to train the best — and that’s exactly what we’re doing at D1 Training.

The D1 Edge
Here’s a typical D1 Training franchise scenario: a local high school team participates in strength conditioning. Their families come to watch and, impressed by the quality of the training, they become loyal D1 clients as well. Through personal training and small-group classes built around the idea that each individual is an athlete, D1’s skilled coaches meet the clients where they are and craft programs to meet their specific needs.
It’s a level of training typically reserved for Division 1 athletes. That’s why D1 athletes are more committed to their fitness — and more willing to pay a higher membership fee than people who join a typical neighborhood workout franchise.

Why D1?
Where other fitness brands may focus on one aspect of fitness or a sport, D1 Training has been designed for every athlete, any age, and in any condition. Defined as anyone dedicated to their sport or fitness, every athlete needs to be stronger, faster, and quicker. Because our skilled coaches recognize the limitations and individual needs of an athlete, they’re able to prescribe programs to improve the athlete’s performance, while the one-on-one or small-group setting provides encouragement and accountability. The result is an established loyalty and trust between the members and their D1 facility staff that leads to long-term relationships, increased revenue, and a powerful word-of-mouth reputation. In fact, that’s one of D1’s key differentiators in the crowded fitness franchise market.
