- Overview
D1 Sports - Franchise
The Gym Franchise for Champions. Not your average big-box membership gym.
D1 stands out from the competition because it hires teams of highly qualified trainers, fitness experts and support personnel to provide clients with a level of fitness and training programs which is typically reserved for elite athletes at Division 1 schools. The D1 Sports Training model is built on small-group personal training classes and an athletic-focused philosophy, where the D1 facilities are able to focus on providing the best fitness programs on the market.
Top Reasons to Own a D1 Training Franchise
- WE STAND HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE COMPETITION: Our fitness franchise provides clients with guided training typically only found in Division 1 programs. Yet we’re an approachable gym suitable for the whole family.
- OUR STORY IS ROOTED IN ATHLETIC HISTORY: D1 founder Will Bartholomew’s background as a Division 1 football star helped him craft a vision of elite athletic training for the general public.
- D1 IS AN AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITY: Breaking into the $30 billion fitness industry is remarkably affordable with D1. Our franchise gym system delivers you the support you need to get started.
- NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO OWN A D1 FRANCHISE: With the fitness industry exploding, owning a boutique gym facility catering to a higher-paying clientele is a great investment. Owning a D1 franchise is a great way to start.
- ATHLETES LOVE TRAINING AT D1 TRAINING: A business is only as strong as its customer base, and at D1, our customers love us. They also love becoming a part of a fitness community and telling others about it.
- OUR CORE VALUES SET US APART: From the owner of the facility down to the newest members, everyone strives to exemplify the D1 spirit. Embrace our core values and change the shape of your city.
A Lucrative Investment
