We are new to D1, and enrolled our 11th grader in the APEX Speed Class! His goal is to run XC/Track in college, and so with that we were looking for specific and specialized training to add to his season and post training. Within a few sessions, D1 had already made an incredible impact on him through knowledge and the tailored training that he grew more confident in, and results showed weekly when he would train with his XC team.

The D1 team then supported him with introducing him nutrition coaching. He has met with Kolton weekly and our son’s mindset with nutrition did a complete overhaul. He weekly shops and meal preps all of his meals now, and is passionate about learning more.

It is so incredible to watch his dedication, all because of the support we have found at D1. We are looking forward to starting with D1’s Therapy + Recovery during his upcoming HS season!

Thought I'd update my below review (from a year ago)...the same high rating still applies!

We have some new members and coaches and I still enjoy the workouts (as much as one can enjoy working out at 5am ;) ). The staff and members are friendly and welcoming. The workout are hard (that's why we are there, right?!).

My daughter (13) has attended several of the workouts for her age group after school and really likes those too. She had never done a workout program (outside of her sports). She definitely seems stronger after doing those classes (her coaches agree!).

I think what makes D1 especially stand out is the quality and quantity of their equipment and the size of the facility. We have plenty of space and weights. Some places I have tried in the past lacked both of those, so I love this about D1.

---------------------------------------------------

Three friends and I spent the last six weeks trying I think 9 different gyms in the area. We ended up choosing D1 for many reasons including quality of workouts, price, size of facility, equipment (quantity and quality), friendliness of other members, communication with manager, and professional/knowledgeable trainers. Great place!

We love that they are getting proper coaching and instruction to help them with their fitness today and in the future. My wife has been coming for a couple of years and loves her workouts, the trainers and members! I've joined most recently and love it so far. Yes I've been extremely sore, but that is to be expected (especially based on how long it has been since I consistently worked out). The trainers have been great- very encouraging and helpful.

I first contacted D1 at SportsPlex West inquiring on specific quarterback training for my 12yr old son. I had a conversation with Karter Schult about exactly what I was looking for in regards to techniques, skills, motivation and my expectations. Without any pressure he invited me to try out one session with his QB coach on staff. After going to the first training session and seeing the high level elite facilities and meeting with Karter and coaches, I knew this was the place for my son to develop his skills. He clicked with the coach immediately and the hour practices are quickly showing amazing results.
I would also like to say that while my son was practicing I watched the Jr High and High school baseball players training. I was wildly impressed with the baseball side of the facility. The skill I saw was impressive and the list of D1 college baseball players from D1 Training underlines the programs success.
I highly recommend D1 Training for both sports.

Great facility with friendly staff. Workouts are very challenging but not impossible. There is good variety in exercises for muscle confusion but consistent concentration on muscle groups. Excellent mix of boot camp and strength regimens.

I just recently joined D1 and I’m so glad I did! It is just what I needed to improve my overall health and fitness. The boot camp class offers a great combo of cardio and weights and the strength class helps me incorporate more lifting into my workout routine. The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. They will challenge you and ensure you get the best workout for you. They easily accommodate and modify for all fitness levels. Come check it out!

Hands down the best gym space around. Large open artificial turf area to do any number of activities. We can get together and play spikeball, as well as I come for the open gym time where I’m free to lift and exercise as I want. The manager (Russ) works extremely hard to create a welcoming atmosphere as well as creating workouts that are very challenging. Highly recommend

I signed my 10 year old son up for rookie classes and he is really enjoying them. The workouts are good and challenging. I can notice my son is getting faster and stronger already. The turf area of the facility is really nice, the weight room is a little small and crammed for my taste but you could definitely get the job done in it. I didn't give a 5 star because we signed up online, went in for the 1st class and there wasn't any like hey welcome, here is our facility these are our trainers and their names and or backgrounds. Do you have any questions? Do you have any specific goals for your child etc? He just went in to his first class as if we had been going there 5 years. I went up and introduced myself to a couple trainers afterward but there still wasn't anything like we are so glad to have your son in our class or anything of that nature. But overall it seems to be a great training place after 3 weeks and I feel like $50 a month for this type of cutting edge training for my son is a pretty good deal. I've been telling other kids' dads that my son plays sports with about it.

Our daughter has really enjoyed the Developmental program at D1. We originally looked at the program as a way to keep her active during her off season. However, after seeing the amount of strength and agility she is gaining, we have decided to make this an overall part of her sports programs. In addition she stuggled with knee and back issues that have greatly dimonshed as she has strengthened and is now correctly utilizing her core and quad muscles.

Awesome trainers, and the people there are very friendly. It's not your typical gym where people just go workout on your own and don't talk. It really open and fun! Times are also flexible!!!

Great experience with the staff. Trainers work well with my son (9), and make sure they are completing the exercises correctly to gain strength and avoid injury. We have seen increase speed and agility in basketball, also in baseball. Thanks to the D1 staff and trainers.

I found D1 on Groupon looking for something different, I recently had my third baby and was eager to find somewhere that would be the best fit for me. D1 workouts have already started to transform my body and from Day 1 the trainers at D1 have offered me incredible guidance! I strongly recommend anyone to who wanting a challenge or a change to come to D1!

Russ and his staff have been very personable and encouraging while pushing me beyond my comfort zone. They stress proper technique and appropriate weights and push me to get better, stronger, and faster. I always leave feeling exhausted but thankful for the great workout.

I have been a faithful gym go-er for over the last 3 years at a different gym and had decided that I needed to shake things up with my fitness when I had not been seeing results for the last 6 months and I felt like I was spinning a wheel and getting no where. I got ahold of Russ and he welcomed not only my husband and myself, but the other friends I worked out with daily. We have all since become members at D1 and I couldn't be any happier. The strength I have gained is surprising, the scale has moved in the correct direction for the first time in 6 months, and I actually feel like I worked out hard everyday. So excited to see my follow-up results after working hard for a month! Great program- great COACHES- and even better facility!!
