Leading Fitness Franchise Strengthens Leadership Team with Seasoned Real Estate Expert

NASHVILLE – D1 Training, a leading fitness concept that utilizes the five core tenets of athletic-based training to help people of all ages, from youth athletes to fitness-minded adults, announces the appointment of Brandon Borah as Director of Real Estate Development.

Borah is a seasoned professional with more than a decade of experience and a profound dedication to both the real estate and health and fitness industries. With a diverse background spanning landlord and tenant leasing and mixed-use and multifamily development, Borah has consistently demonstrated a commitment to fostering community growth and well-being through strategic real estate initiatives. Recently, Borah worked as Leasing Director at F45 Training, where he spearheaded real estate operations on an international scale.

As the Director of Real Estate Development, Borah will be responsible for assisting franchisees in the real estate process from site selection to lease execution. This includes assisting with letters of intent (LOI) and lease negotiations, educating franchisees on real estate fundamentals and advising on market dynamics. All of these efforts are aimed at facilitating the establishment and operation of franchisees' businesses to maximize their positive impact on the communities they serve.

“In this role, I aim to secure leases that empower franchisees to succeed and serve their communities effectively," said Borah. "I joined D1 Training because of its commitment to community impact through fitness. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with exceptional people and expand D1 facilities nationwide. My goal is to cultivate long-lasting, sustainable growth for the company while simultaneously enriching the scope of assistance we offer our franchisees.”

The industry remains strong as ever, with an untapped growth potential in scholastic training. The competitive landscape of youth sports is ever changing and having access to a place like D1 - where young athletes can hone their skills – is becoming increasingly important. This paired with D1’s adult and personal training programs provides an unmatched opportunity. With vast whitespace across the country, eager and passionate franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity and growth potential.

"Brandon's appointment as Director of Real Estate Development marks a pivotal moment for D1 Training,” said D1 Training Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. “He is an excellent addition to our team, and his innovative approach and commitment to excellence align seamlessly with our core values. We are excited to see the impactful contributions he will make in driving our brand's growth and ensuring our continued success in the competitive fitness industry."

Each fitness program is based on the five athletic-based tenets: 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.
