Business Overview

D1 Training, “A Fitness Franchise That Performs”, is a premier athletic performance franchise that delivers advanced, coach-led programming inspired by Division I college training methods. Catering to youth, adults, and athletes of all levels, D1 blends athletic coaching, life-skill development, and character building within brand-new, comparable-to-college training facilities. As a non-traditional gym franchise, D1 is known for its reputation for creating an atmosphere of elite athleticism.

Franchise Opportunity

With over 140 locations and professional athlete-ownership, D1 stands out in the $33B fitness and youth sports market. Franchisees benefit from turnkey support: site selection, facility build-out, staff training, and ongoing marketing. Owners can choose either hands-on or semi-absentee models, making it scalable and flexible.

Ideal Candidate

Ideal franchisees are community-driven individuals passionate about sports, youth development, and team coaching. While athletic or coaching background helps, D1 provides robust onboarding to create elite training staff. Owner-operators and semi-absentee models mean both hands-on leaders and investors can succeed.
