About D1 Training
THE PLACE FOR THE ATHLETE? D1 Training was founded by Will Bartholomew, a former University of Tennessee fullback and captain of the 1998 National Championship team. When his NFL career ended in Denver Broncos training camp, he couldn't find anywhere that matched the training he'd had at UT and in the pros, so he built it. Today, D1 brings Division 1 level training to every athlete in their community. At D1, we define athlete as anyone with a goal. TRAIN LIKE AN ATHLETE. AT ANY AGE. AT ANY LEVEL. At D1, we define athlete as anyone with a goal. D1 serves youth athletes ages 7 and up, plus adults, through group training, personal training, small group training sessions, and team training. There are no one-size-fits-all classes here. Every member follows a program built for their goal and is coached by world class coaches who hold them accountable. Character development is built into every session, because D1 builds people, not just muscle. THE 5-STAR TRAINING PROGRAM Every session follows the model Division 1 strength and conditioning programs use: dynamic warm-up, performance training, strength development, core + conditioning, and cool-down.
