A FITNESS FRANCHISE THAT PERFORMS - STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD WITH D1 TRAINING

About D1 Training
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 the 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. 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.

Why D1 Training?
D1 Training’s unique membership model opens up huge fitness franchise opportunities. We are an athletics and fitness franchise with the history, knowledge, and experience to help franchise owners develop a powerful brand image and grow their businesses in their communities. Since our founding, we have helped thousands of athletes achieve their goals and improve performance, speed, and strength, and as we continue to grow, so too does our reputation for being the home of elite athleticism. Startup costs for traditional stores range from $192,450-$634,777, which makes D1 Training a low-cost investment opportunity with the potential for high returns in an explosive growth industry. Our business model is ideal for entrepreneurs who are passionate about creating an atmosphere of elite training, where members aren’t just members. They become athletes. The franchise fee for a D1 Training franchise is $59,500. At the same time, the D1 Training model is a potentially lucrative model. With 60+ facilities in operation, ranging from less than a year to more than 7 years, our franchise owners produce average revenues of $542,272, with our top franchise locations exceeding $1 million a year. When you compare D1 Training to other fitness and gym franchise concepts, the competition just doesn’t stack up.
Ideal Candidate
If you’ve explored our opportunity and feel like you are a great fit for our non-traditional gym franchise, then it’s time to take the first step! We have broken our ownership process down into several steps that will ensure a smooth opening. At D1 Training, our success is dependent on the success of our franchise owners, which is why we’ve designed the ownership process to cover all the bases and fully prepare you to hit the ground running with your new business. The first thing we will do is determine if you are financially qualified for our franchise and also assess if you are a good fit for us – and we are a good fit for you. After this, you will learn more about the company through calls and resources and will complete the process by attending an in-person Recruiting Day where you will meet the Home Office team at our Nashville headquarters. Once we determine that you would be a great addition to our company, it’s time to get started on opening your new fitness franchise location. Our team will schedule your business operations training at our Nashville headquarters, where you’ll have the opportunity to spend some time with our team and learn the ins and the outs of the business. Following this training, you’ll know everything you need to know about operating your D1 Training facility. Every step of the way, our team will be by your side to ensure you are fully prepared to succeed with us.

Testimonials
“As a relatively new franchisee to the system, having gone through the process, I can say that the D1 Home Office team has been there for me each step. D1 is building a national brand that will differentiate itself among the big box and boutique gym.” - Len Stavish, D1 Bergen County, “D1 offers so many tangible benefits, but it's the intangible that keeps me here. Owning a facility that encourages, drives, and builds every person that walks through these doors is not just a dream but now a reality!” - Kitten DuPreez, D1 Colorado Springs, “I loved the vision that Will gave me of offering a level of training an athlete gets in a D1 institution like he and Peyton Manning enjoyed at Tennessee,” says Steve. “I also love the fact that the foundation of it was character based and character driven. The D1 character shirt lists some of the traits we promote with our athletes. These things — the importance of character, of good attitude, integrity and discipline — these fit perfectly with Life CHAMPS. And I love that they’re the foundation of D1. I found a resonance there.” Steve Snider, D1 Little Rock, “I chose D1 first and foremost for the community. I was a member at D1 for 7 years before I agreed to purchase a franchise. I was able to see first-hand what it’s like to be a member at D1, for my kids to come in there, for my wife to come in there and really see what it can be as a facility for the whole family.” Joe Stanford, D1 West Nashville
