New D1 Training Center Aims at Improving Performance and Enhancing Athletic Experience

For elite athletes, finding the right place to train means everything. Now, residents in Chandler have a new option when it comes to boosting athletic skills and training.

D1 Training is a premier fitness concept that is rooted in athletic-based training principles. A new location recently opened in Ocotillo, near Hamilton High School. According to D1 franchise partner Mike Myers, this is a great spot for athletes looking to get to the top of their training.

“This is a cutting-edge group fitness facility that offers scientifically based training regimens which are guided by certified trainers,” he says. “We cater to individuals of all ages who are looking to attain their athletic and fitness aspirations.”

Myers joins an esteemed lineup of franchisees and owners, including top athletes such as Tim Tebow and Michael Oher. Myers and partner Tim Misitano teamed up with D1 franchise owner Kylee Fitts, former Arizona Cardinals player, to bring this new training center to life. They also have plans to expand in the East Valley, establishing three additional D1 Training centers over the next two years, in a commitment to fostering athletic development in the area.

"We are thrilled to empower youth in our community to achieve their athletic potential," Myers says. "This new location not only allows us to give back but also strengthens our ties within the community, enabling young athletes to thrive in their respective sports."

D1 Training centers are a great option for anyone looking to take their athletic and fitness training to the next level. The center offers a comprehensive list of age-based programs, catering to people ages 7 through adult. Each program centers around the same five foundational pillars that are used at all D1 Training centers. First there is a dynamic warm-up, followed by performance enhancements, then strength conditioning, and core training, then finally ending the session with a cool down.

If you aren’t looking for a group setting and rather more personalized training options, D1 Training offers those, as well. The center provides personalized one-on-one coaching by elite trainers who will look at the individual needs of each athlete, regardless of age or skill level. This center isn’t a one-size-fits-all type of gym; rather, they focus on giving everyone a workout experience that is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, inspire you to push yourself, and leave you feeling like you’ve accomplished something.

Dan Murphy, chief operating officer of D1 Training, is excited about this new center and its prospects for the future.

“Mike and Tom exemplify the qualities we seek in franchise partners," says Murphy. "Their dedication to community engagement aligns seamlessly with our mission to empower individuals through fitness.”

This newest center in Ocotillo is part of a nationwide expansion plan through franchising for D1 Training. Currently there are more than 100 performance centers open with more than 100 additional locations under development.
