• What are the growth markets for D1 Training?

When D1 Training began, we started with just a single, small facility in Nashville, Tennessee. Today, D1 Training facilities serve more than 100 markets across the United States — and we’re adding new locations all the time.

With significant demand for high-end, boutique fitness facilities and training — and room for prime new locations throughout the United States — D1 Training offers tremendous growth potential with available regions in choice locations. We believe our brand will continue to quickly grow our name recognition and a reputation for being one of the best bets in the fitness market.

D1 Training does well in locations with a large number of people interested in sports and fitness. This is especially true of more affluent areas with high levels of commitment and involvement in youth athletics.

Real estate requirements vary by market, availability, and the size and type of facility you’re interested in opening. Our expert staff will help you find a location, negotiate lease terms, and get ready to open the best possible fitness facility for your market.

• How many employees do I need?

That depends. Many of the D1 Training facilities operate with as few as 6 employees, and others have more than 12. Because our business model is membership-driven, as your business grows, so will your employee needs.
