D1 Training, a leading fitness concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, recently announced a new Spring Hill location at 1006 Crossings Blvd.
The new business will open its doors June 13.
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.
Gary Fischer will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees and owners, some of which include professional NFL athletes such as Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, Tim Tebow and Michael Oher.
Before launching Spring Hill’s D1 Training, Fischer worked in the corporate finance world for more than 20 years, eventually leading to a CFO role for a small entrepreneurial company. He found his true passion, though, about five years ago in coaching youth sports and began his personal fitness journey to get healthy while being a good role model for his kids. This spawned a desire to go into business for himself.
After looking at many fitness concepts, he founded D1 Training about three years ago. Initially, he was going to introduce California to D1 Training but was slow to pull the trigger because of business regulations and tax laws in California and paused the deal right before the COVID-19 pandemic.
He reengaged with D1 after deciding to move to Middle Tennessee, as he saw an opportunity in Spring Hill.
“Several years ago, I realized that I needed to get healthy,” Fischer said. “Through this realization, I found a new passion, and at the same time, found a passion in coaching my kids in their youth sports.
“I looked at a few fitness franchise concepts, but nothing excited me until I came across D1 Training. So, I jumped at the opportunity to combine my passion with the 20 years of business experience I had, and now I am ready to expand the D1 Training brand and bring Spring Hill athletic based training in a world-class facility.”
Fischer has brought on fitness professional Dre Irarrazabal, a former college athlete who played basketball at University of Tennessee at Martin, to lead D1 Training Spring Hill as general manager.
In celebration of the new location’s launch, Spring Hill neighbors and residents are encouraged to stop by and meet the facility’s team at its grand-opening event June 18.
D1 Spring Hill will offer four age-based programs, including Rookie (ages 7-11), Developmental (ages 12-14), Prep (ages 15-18) and D1 Adult. Each fitness program is based on the five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down.
Outside of group workouts, D1 Training offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches.
“Gary is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to Spring Hill,” said the brand’s COO Dan Murphy. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the D1 family and are confident in his ability to show the Spring Hill 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 Gary will do just that in Spring Hill and its surrounding communities.”
D1 Training has more than 60 performance centers with more than 120 additional locations in development. The brand is currently seeking qualified and active community members to expand its footprint and help more people meet their fitness goals.
