★★★★★Dara BartzMy 9 year old son has done 8 D1 training sessions so far and he is always so excited to go! The trainers are knowledgeable and keep it fun for the kids while teaching them the fundamentals! I would definitely recommend giving these sessions a try if you’re looking for a great workout for your young athletes.
★★★★★G MD1 has been a great addition to our routine. I've seen the confidence in ability in both my children improve substantially. I love how there is a major focus on form and building confidence in the kids. The class is well structured and while safety is a priority, the kids still have fun. The coaches we have worked with are all great. I would recommend D1 to anyone looking to introduce fitness or hone in on skills to improve athleticism, there's a place for every skill level here.
★★★★★Lindsay SteeleMy kids LOVE D1. The variety of classes and camps keeps them engaged and the wide range of class times help us work it into our already busy schedule. My daughter is getting bigger, faster and stronger while my son is is gaining coordination and motivation in such a cool environment. The instructors hold the kids accountable yet encourage fun by working to get better. It all started with 1 camp which led to a monthly membership. We are already thinking through how to make it work with spring sports. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!!!
★★★★★sarah infanteThought 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!
★★★★★Brad EckermanD1 has become a family affair for us as all 3 of our boys (13, 10 & 7) attend workouts and so do my wife and I. The boys absolutely love their workouts and the trainers. 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. Other members have been quite welcoming and I personally love the class sizes. Great experience for me!
