Where Great Coaches Are Made: D1 Training Hosts Elite National Summit with Manning Passing Academy

Paul Zboichyk2025-07-12T23:56:58-04:00July 12th, 2025|Tags: athletic-based training, D1 Training, fitness concept, fitness industry, membership-based gym and boutique fitness franchise|

A Masterclass in Investing in People, D1 Elevates Franchisee Support and Long-Term Impact – On and Off the Field

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — D1 Training, a leading fitness and enrichment concept that utilizes the five core tenets of athletic-based training to help people of all ages, from youth athletes to fitness-minded adults, once again proved its commitment to franchisee success by investing in their most powerful asset: their people. More than 150 coaches, general managers, franchise owners, and home office leaders gathered in New Orleans for the annual D1 Coach Summit, held in tandem with the prestigious Manning Passing Academy (MPA) – hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning.

Representatives from more than 50 D1 locations nationwide came together for elite-level training, inspiration, and connection – all with the purpose of strengthening the D1 system and further impacting the lives of athletes they serve.

“For us, performance starts with people,” said Will Bartholomew, CEO of D1 Training. “We know that if we help our franchisees invest in their coaches, we help drive stronger performance and our athletes thrive. That’s what the D1 Coach Summit is all about.”

For the 16th consecutive year, D1 Training was honored to lead the official on-field warmup for the Manning Passing Academy, which hosted 1,400+ youth football players and 40+ of the country’s top college quarterbacks, including Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, and Cade Klubnik. D1’s presence at the MPA – surrounded by NFL coaches, general managers, and media – demonstrates the brand’s high-caliber approach to training and athlete development.

“We love having D1 Training out to Manning Passing Academy to lead warmups for our athletes,” said MPA patriarch Archie Manning. “It sets the tone for the camp.”

The Summit included hands-on workshops, breakout sessions, and powerful keynotes from industry leaders who have both shaped and been shaped by D1 Training:

Kurt Hester, Director of Strength and Performance at the University of Houston and former D1 National Director of Training, shared a deeply moving session on perseverance as he continues his fight against Stage 4 cancer.
Donald Scott, two-time Olympic triple jumper and coach at D1 Gainesville, helped lead sprint and speed drills at MPA and shared his athletic journey: “This was my first D1 Coach Summit, and I learned a lot about the brand and from my fellow coaches. It was great to be able to share my athletic journey too.”
Clif Marshall, renowned performance coach and former Indiana Basketball Director of Athletic Performance, shared his journey and impact, and was deeply inspired by the Summit: “The D1 Coach Summit had a great impact on me because I got to meet a legend in our profession – Kurt Hester. I love how he coaches with an eternal mindset.”

As part of D1’s commitment to celebrating excellence systemwide, the event also included an awards ceremony held at the New Orleans Saints practice facility. The awards recognize standout coaches and locations across the country.

The Coach Summit stands as a unique differentiator in the franchise and fitness industries – few brands go to this level to elevate the people on the ground who are delivering on the brand promise every day.

“Supporting franchisee success doesn’t stop at business systems or marketing; true support means helping invest in their teams,” added Dan Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of D1 Training. “That’s what this event is about – building a stronger future by developing stronger people.”

As D1 Training celebrates its 150th location milestone, the brand continues to double down on its mission to redefine training, one athlete and one coach at a time

The industry remains strong as ever, with an untapped growth potential in scholastic training. The competitive landscape of youth sports is ever changing and having access to a place like D1 – where young athletes can hone their skills – is becoming increasingly important. This paired with D1’s adult and personal training programs provides an unmatched opportunity.

What Homeowners Need to Know About Exterior Damage in the Summer Heat

Paul Zboichyk2025-07-12T23:50:14-04:00July 12th, 2025|Tags: home repair, Ideal Siding, Siding Renovation|

Ideal Siding Shares Expert Tips on Preventing Warped, Cracked, and Faded Siding as Temperatures Rise

VANCOUVER, BC — With record-setting heat waves already hitting many parts of the U.S. this summer, home experts are warning that extreme temperatures can do more than strain power grids: they can also silently degrade your home’s exterior. According to experts at Ideal Siding, North America’s largest siding renovation company, the combination of high UV exposure, humidity, and poor ventilation can lead to significant siding damage if not addressed early.

“We see it every year, vinyl that melts, wood that cracks, or paint that just can’t hold up,” said Alex Filipuk, CEO of Ideal Siding. “The sun can do serious damage, and it doesn’t take long for it to become a costly money pit for homeowners.”

Common Issues Homeowners Face in the Heat

Different siding materials respond to heat in different ways:

Vinyl siding is the most vulnerable, often warping or melting under high heat or concentrated sunlight reflected off nearby windows.
Wood siding, while aesthetically appealing, can crack, split, or fade when not regularly sealed or stained.
Fiber cement siding is the most heat-resistant and durable, but it still requires proper installation and paint upkeep to perform at its best.

“Even the best materials can underperform if they’re installed incorrectly,” continued Filipuk. “We always emphasize that product choice and professional installation go hand-in-hand, especially in hot climates.”

What Homeowners Can Do Now

To protect your home’s siding through the hottest months of the year, Ideal Siding recommends:

Inspecting your siding at the beginning and end of summer for signs of warping, fading, or cracked caulking.
Cleaning gently mid-season to remove dirt and pollen buildup that can degrade finishes.
Avoiding heat traps by trimming back vegetation and keeping grills, fire pits, and reflective surfaces away from your home.
Choosing the right material and color can also play a significant role. Lighter shades reflect heat better and fiber cement options offer superior resistance to high temperatures.

Homeowners in especially hot climates may also benefit from UV-reflective coatings or investing in fiber cement siding, which is specifically engineered for high-heat regions.

The Golden Rule to Remember

“If there’s one golden rule we share with homeowners every summer, it’s this: match your siding to your climate and don’t cut corners on the install,” said Filipuk. “The right choices upfront can prevent years of headaches and costly repairs.”

With over 80 locations across the U.S. and Canada, Ideal Siding has seen firsthand the impact heat can have on home exteriors. For more information about siding maintenance and material recommendations, visit www.idealsiding.com.

Mathnasium Celebrates Milestone Opening with its 100th International Center

Paul Zboichyk2025-07-09T13:26:51-04:00July 9th, 2025|Tags: math tutoring, math-only supplemental education franchise, Mathnasium|

Landmark Center Opens in Hammersmith, United Kingdom
UK Becomes Mathnasium’s Largest Market Outside of the U.S., Boasting 37 Centers
Surging Global Demand For Supplemental Math Education Accelerates Franchise Expansion Abroad

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, a globally recognized franchise with over 1,200 locations across 12 countries, reaches a pivotal milestone: opening its 100th international center. The landmark location is in the vibrant Hammersmith neighborhood of West London, United Kingdom, cementing Britain as Mathnasium’s largest international market outside of North America. The timing couldn’t be more critical, with the new center launching just ahead of the 2025-26 academic year as parents seek intensive support to close achievement gaps that continue to impact student performance.

This expansion comes as global demand for supplemental math education continues to surge, driven by factors including lingering pandemic learning loss, explosive growth in STEM careers, and increased parental awareness of math’s critical role in future success.

“Reaching 100 international centers isn’t just about growth; it’s about meeting a critical need for supplemental math education that truly works,” said Tyler Sgro, CEO of Mathnasium. “Our method empowers children to build confidence and understanding, which sets the foundation for their future success. This milestone reflects our commitment to expanding access and making a real difference in communities worldwide — especially in fast-growing markets like the UK, where demand for high-quality math education continues to rise.”

The 100th international Mathnasium center in Hammersmith is owned by Dan Tregoning, a father of two and multi-unit franchisee since 2020. In addition to Hammersmith, he operates centers in Fulham and Notting Hill, with a fourth location currently in development. The Hammersmith territory encompasses approximately 20,000 students across 30 schools, making it an ideal area to help children build a strong foundation in math and develop a lasting love for learning.

“Opening the Hammersmith center is a proud milestone for me personally, and it’s made even more special by the fact that it marks the opening of Mathnasium’s 100th international center,” said Tregoning. “With demand for math support only growing, families need reliable access to programs that deliver real results. My background in educational real estate and early learning has shown me how critical it is to reach children at the right time, and Mathnasium does exactly that. We’re helping kids build confidence, competence, and a lifelong appreciation for math.”

Mathnasium’s International Reach Hits New Heights

With 37 centers serving over 3,000 students, the UK is now the largest market outside of North America. This marks just the latest achievement for Mathnasium in Britain after being named the 2024 Franchise of the Year by the British Franchise Association last year.
On June 1, nearly 7,000 students celebrated “Mathnasium Day” at the Ho Chi Ming City and Hanoi locations in Vietnam — participating in summer festival-themed activities that blended math, creativity, and fun.
Earlier this year, Mathnasium also opened its first center in Romania.
Momentum remains strong globally, with new centers expected to open in Romania, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Mexico, and the UK by the end of 2025.
Mathnasium is targeting rapid international expansion in markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Poland to meet increasing global demand for quality math education.

“Mathnasium’s expanding presence in the UK and beyond reflects a strong and growing global demand for effective supplemental math education,” said Benjamin Simon, Regional Vice President of International at Mathnasium. “Our proven, hands-on approach continues to resonate with families and communities worldwide, reinforcing our commitment to empower children with the confidence and skills they need to thrive. As we broaden our reach, we’re excited to bring our brand’s mission to more students and support their success on a global scale.”

The new Mathnasium of Hammersmith center opened its doors to students in May 2025, launching its goal of giving children the power to achieve excellence — in math and in life. A grand opening event is scheduled for this fall, inviting the community to experience firsthand how Mathnasium builds kids’ mathematical skills and confidence.

With prime territories available, Mathnasium provides franchisees with an affordable entry point with quick build out time, a comprehensive initial training program with ongoing support, access to proprietary software tools and resources, and a balanced approach between corporate and locally driven marketing.

Dmitriy Minaker and Svetlana Minakoff Recognized for Outstanding Leadership, Business Success, and Meaningful Community Contributions

NEW YORK — British Swim School of Manhattan, a leading “learn to swim” provider, is named by Franchise Business Review as a 2025 Franchise Rock Star Award winner. Husband-and-wife franchise owners Dmitriy Minaker and Svetlana Minakoff are being recognized by Franchise Business Review, a leading market research firm serving the franchise sector, for exemplifying outstanding leadership within their communities and franchise system, serving as exceptional brand ambassadors, and inspiring others as mentors.

“We’re honored and grateful to be named Franchise Rock Star Award winners — an incredible recognition of our passion for making an impact in our community every day,” said Dmitriy Minaker, co-owner of British Swim School of Manhattan. “With summer in full swing and recent heat waves driving more families to the pool, it’s more important than ever to prioritize water safety. Drowning remains the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1 to 4, underscoring the urgent need to raise awareness and protect young lives around water.”

Dmitriy and Svetlana have been making a splash in their community for four years, but their journey with British Swim School began even earlier as customers. Inspired by the program’s mission and business model, they became franchisees, turning their personal experience into a passionate commitment to water safety. Led by a team of skilled aquatics professionals, British Swim School of Manhattan delivers a results-driven curriculum that equips students of all ages and abilities with essential water skills.

“Running British Swim School with my husband isn’t just a business decision — it’s a shared passion and a deeply personal journey for both of us. Before starting the business, we were already involved in the world of swimming through our two children, who swim competitively. Our oldest is ranked among the top 100 swimmers nationwide. As a family-run operation, we’re committed to offering the highest quality swim instruction in New York City. Our incredible team of staff and instructors, who go above and beyond every day, are a big part of what makes that possible,” said Svetlana Minakoff, co-owner of British Swim School of Manhattan.

Earlier this year, Dmitriy and Svetlana were honored by Mayor Eric Adams and the City of New York with a Certificate of Recognition for their vital contributions to water survival education and public safety. British Swim School of Manhattan was the only swim school among 27 in New York City to receive this honor, highlighting the team’s exceptional dedication to setting the gold standard in the community. The swim school was also named one of the Top 10 Baby Swimming Schools in New York City by Trusted Analytical.

“We’re fortunate to have franchisees like Dmitriy and Svetlana, whose values and vision align so seamlessly with those of British Swim School,” said Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School. “They truly embody franchise excellence — from creating a positive, high-performing culture to driving continuous improvement and innovation. Their leadership has helped British Swim School of Manhattan remain at the forefront of both customer experience and operational performance.”

For more than 40 years, British Swim School has been committed to drowning prevention. Most recently, it became the first full swim school franchise to partner with Stop Drowning Now, a nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through water safety education.

Vacation-Proof Your Home by Protecting Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC Systems While You’re Away This Summer

Paul Zboichyk2025-07-06T13:18:08-04:00July 6th, 2025|Tags: Authority Brands, franchise industry, home services franchising platform|

Pre-Travel Advice from the Experts at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning

COLUMBIA, Md. — With a record 72.2 million Americans expected to travel this holiday weekend, July marks a peak month for vacationers. Yet, many homeowners are heading out while unknowingly exposing their homes to significant risks. The consequences of skipping a pre-vacation system check can turn a dream getaway into a costly headache complete with plumbing leaks, power surges and potentially even HVAC failures.

Some of the most common results of these catastrophes include:

A burst pipe can spew gallons of water per minute, quickly causing major water damage to floors, walls, and ceilings.
High humidity or moisture buildup leads to unwelcome odors and mold and mildew growth.
Loss of power to refrigerators/freezers results in spoiled food.
Surge damage to electronics, appliances or HVAC systems. For pets or belongings left behind, HVAC failure can pose serious safety risks.

To help avoid these unwelcome surprises, trusted national home service experts from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning urge homeowners to “vacation-proof” their homes with a professional core system check before hitting the road. For added assurance, they recommend homeowners enhance their protection with smart home tools that offer 24/7 monitoring and control right from their phone.

“Minor issues are less likely to escalate into big-ticket repairs when you have your plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems regularly serviced by a professional,” says Lance Sinclair, President of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. “And even if you’re enjoying a staycation, keeping your home running smoothly means you get to relax and focus on what matters this summer.”

In addition to scheduling a professional inspection, homeowners may want to consider updating their systems with smart home devices like Qwel Leak Detection, which offers real-time alerts and automatic or remote shutoff, and Nuve Smart Thermostat for smart climate control scheduling and system health alerts. Financing options are available from all three of these home service brands to help make upgrades more affordable.

Whether you’re going out of town or planning a local staycation, a quick check-up and smart tech upgrade now brings peace of mind all season long.
