D1 Training Debuts Premier Athletic-Based Facility in Georgia

D1 Training, a leading fitness concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, has opened the first Georgia facility in Buford. The group fitness facility employs a sports-science backed training regimen led by certified trainers to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals. The highly-anticipated training center is now located at 2725 Hamilton Mill Rd., Ste. A800.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to own a business that helps others achieve their goals,” said Dylan Burke, owner of D1 Training in Gwinnett County. “Our space caters to everyone, whether you’re a parent looking to sneak a work out in or an athlete looking to hone in on skills during the offseason. We have trainers that can help people at any level – making sure everyone feels welcome is our top priority.”

Burke will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees some of which include professional athletes such as Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, Peyton Manning and Chipper Jones. Burke is poised for success as a business owner in the fitness space. Prior to launching Gwinnett County’s D1 Training, Burke worked as an EMT for Gwinnett Medical Center until 2015 and a communication engineer.

In addition to specializing in both personal and team training, D1 Training of Buford offers five age-based programs including Rookie (ages 7-11), Developmental (ages 12-14), Prep (ages 15-18), Boot Camp (adults) and Strength Training (adults). Each fitness program is based on D1’s 5-Star Training philosophy incorporating: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength, core and conditioning, and cool down. Plus, every workout is expertly-designed by D1’s National Training Panel, led by a certified trainer, and built around the concept of periodization which builds week-upon-week to create a well-rounded program targeted to reach specific goals.

“Burke is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to Georgia,” said the brand’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the D1 family and are confident in his ability to show the Buford area what they’ve been missing out on. D1 is a one-of-a-kind fitness experience that’s built around the individual and meant to help people meet their appropriate edge. Our strong network of franchisees embodies our core values to bring the D1 Training vision to life, and we know Burke will do just that in Gwinnett County and its surrounding communities.”

Strategically expanding across the nation through franchising, D1 Training has more than 27 performance centers open with 99 additional locations in development. The brand anticipates having more than 75 locations operating by the end of 2020, and is currently seeking qualified and active community members to expand its footprint and help more people meet their fitness goals.
