D1 Training, The Place for the Athlete, Sees Explosive Franchise Growth in Q1

D1 Training is starting 2024 quick off the block with 16 new agreements signed in the first three months of the year in territories spanning coast to coast. It’s an outstanding start to D1’s goal to open more than 50 units this year, which will bring their total sold units to 250.

The latest territories to bring the brand home include St. Petersburg, FL; Miami, FL; Land O’Lake, FL; Panama City, FL; Atlanta, GA; Raleigh, NC; Wilmington, NC; Houston, TX; Dallas, TX; Omaha, NE; Wichita, KS; Long Island, NY; Fort Collins, CO; Southwest Colorado Springs, CO; Parker, CO; and Carmel Valley, CA. It’s exciting to see two franchisees become multi-unit operators with additional territories, and 13 new franchisees joining the D1 Nation.

“D1 Training’s newest franchisees are an inspiring crew of driven, hard-working individuals who are going to cultivate spaces for athletes to set goals and grow,” said Dan Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of D1 Training. “The spirit of the services we provide our athletes carries over into how we run our business– we want franchisees to be a part of a team, to work hard and be motivated to give back. Seeing so many engaged entrepreneurs wanting to join D1 Training underscores the exceptional business opportunities we’ve created and is a testament to the sense of community we’ve built among athletes and business owners.”

If there is something the D1 Training team knows a LOT about, it’s reaching goals and exceeding expectations. These are in practice every day at the D1 home office, a high-energy hub for franchise development, based in Nashville, Tennessee. It’s here where the D1 team dedicates their time and energy to helping both new and existing franchisees grow their businesses.

“What we have to offer athletes at D1 Training has always been one-of-a-kind, but as interest in our franchise opportunity has grown, it’s become more evident to prospective franchise owners that what we have to offer entrepreneurs is equally special,” said D1 Training’s Founder & CEO Will Bartholomew. “Our world-class team has worked for years to lock down our operational systems, facilitate onboarding, and position our brand as the #1 place for athletes. At the rate we are growing, our team is on track to help athletes and entrepreneurs everywhere find success.”

March marked the largest sales month in the company’s history, reflecting D1 Training’s ability to demonstrate and follow-through with a strategic, results-driven franchise model. Key to the model’s success is what differentiates D1 Training from other brands in the fitness space. This is a brand that supports athletes via a prescription-based model from as young as age 7, to adults and the pros.

All locations offer three core training programs, Scholastic (Rookie, Developmental, Prep and Overtime), Adult and Pro. Each fitness program is based on D1’s 5-Star Training program: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. Outside of group workouts, D1 offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches, as well as team training for local schools and organizations.

D1 Training is running at full speed towards its goals, as demonstrated by the franchise’s stellar growth numbers. For more information on D1 Training and franchise opportunities, please visit  www.d1franchise.com, call 615-465-0385 or email julie.bauer@d1training.com.
