SAVAGE, Minn. (APRIL 8, 2026) &ndash;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.d1sportstraining.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">D1 Training</a>, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, will be opening a new location in Savage at 12220 Zinran Ave on April 13, with a grand opening celebration taking place April 11. The new 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. 
In celebration of the new location&rsquo;s launch, South Metro neighbors and residents are encouraged to attend the grand opening event on Saturday, April 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Prior Lake Chamber, appearance by former Minnesota Vikings player John Randle, raffles and giveaways, three local food trucks, and opportunities to tour the facility and meet the coaching team.
D1 Training Savage is locally owned and operated by Jeremy James, who will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including former professional and collegiate athletes. Additional D1 partners include NBA star Chris Paul and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
James is a longtime South Metro community member, a father of two young athletes, and an 18-year football coach at Prior Lake High School. After seeing a need for high quality athletic training in the area, he connected with D1&rsquo;s culture, values, and community focus during a D1 recruiting day. Inspired to bring that environment home for his own children and the athletes he coaches, he chose D1 as his first franchise, a decision that aligns with his commitment to helping local youth and adults reach their full potential.
&ldquo;D1 provides the structure and support that helps young people grow both as athletes and individuals,&rdquo; said James. &ldquo;I have seen firsthand how the right environment can change a life and bringing D1 to the South Metro allows us to create that impact for families in our community.&rdquo;
D1 Training offers 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 group, semi-private, and one-on-one training with world-class coaches. The goal is simple: to continue to train athletes who are dedicated to their sport or fitness goals, regardless of age, or athletic background. 
&ldquo;Jeremy is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to Savage,&rdquo; said the brand&rsquo;s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re thrilled to welcome them to the D1 family and are confident in their ability to show the Savage area what they&rsquo;ve been missing out on. D1 is a one-of-a-kind fitness experience that&rsquo;s built around the individual and meant to help people meet their athletic goals. Our strong network of franchisees embodies our core values to bring the D1 Training vision to life, and we know Jeremy will do just that in Savage and its surrounding communities.&rdquo; 
Strategically expanding across the nation through franchising, D1 Training has more than 150 facilities open with over 100 additional locations in various stages of development. The brand is currently seeking financially qualified business builders, former athletes, and entrepreneurs, who share a passion for fitness and youth sports, who are ready to make a positive impact on their community.
