Franchise Expansion, Professional Athlete Partnerships, and Streamlined Operations Fuel Leading Fitness Franchise’s Growth into The New Year

NASHVILLE. Tenn. — D1 Training, a leading fitness concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals, kicks off 2024 with the opening of its milestone 100^th location in Merrillville, Indiana. This comes on the heels of an impressive 2023, achieving substantial revenue growth across current facilities and the opening of 26 new locations. Heading into 2024, D1 has set its plans to open more than 50 units with double that in development, bringing its future total to 250 units.

“Watching this company grow from our roots in Tennessee to a beloved fitness brand across the country has been nothing short of remarkable,” said Will Bartholomew, D1 Training Founder and CEO. “The journey from our first location to our 100^th location has been a humbling experience – and to see this historic moment come to life is truly and honor. This milestone opening further solidifies D1 Training as an industry leader as we continue to deliver world-class coaching and great programs to 100 different cities, serving thousands of athletes.”

Keys to the brand’s success have been enhancements to franchisee support starting with presales, growing a network of world-class coaches, leaning into professional athlete brand ambassadors such as Tim Tebow, improvements to operator training, and streamlined communication.

Additionally, the brand has put a refined focus on its commitment to the D1 Training mission, which is to create a space for and support athletes of any age in their fitness goals. Fundamentals included fine-tuning the athlete sign-up process and getting athletes enrolled in customized programs for their individual goals. With a service mindset, the brand was able to refine and optimize the business model and athlete experience. This resulted in strong performance, achieving 6.5% revenue growth compared to the previous year.

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. With vast whitespace across the country, eager and passionate franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity and growth potential.

“It’s rewarding to be a part of such a remarkable business, surrounded by exceptional individuals and dedicated franchise owners,” said Dan Murphy, D1 Training Chief Operating Officer. “We’ve proven that we can stand the test of time and that the market really wants what we are providing at D1 Training. Our team is always looking toward the future and is committed to ensuring continued success for the brand and athletes we work with.”

Fueling D1’s performance is a strategic investment from Princeton Equity Group that will continue to propel D1 as a national brand synonymous with high-caliber athletic performance and fitness. The success of the brand has not gone unnoticed as the industry has recognized D1 with several award wins including being ranked in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500, and making an appearance on the prestigious Inc. 5000.

All locations offer three core training programs, Scholastic (Rookie, Developmental, Prep and Overtime), Adult and Pro. 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 offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches.

Health Food Franchise Puts Up $25,000 for 6^th Annual Nationwide Fitness Competition

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Clean Eatz, America’s leading health food restaurant and online meal plan franchise, is getting ready to kick off its annual WeChangeLivez (WCL) Challenge. This year, the franchise will be giving away 12 weeks’ worth of meals to a participant in every Clean Eatz community around the country. And each of those local winners will be entered to receive the grand prize of $25,000.

The challenge encourages participants to use the two-month duration between Jan. 15 and March 15 to better themselves, physically and mentally, in an effort to reshape their lifestyle and lead their best lives. Signups open on January first, with all winners being announced in early April.

“I have the WCL Challenge to thank for giving me a community and a support system that helped drive me to this point in my personal health journey, where I’ve lost 108 pounds and counting,” said Ashley Hedrick, winner of the 2023 WCL Challenge. “The competition didn’t pit contestants against one another. It connected us with men and women chasing a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. And the results that came from it were beyond anything you could imagine!”

With 100-plus cafés currently open nationwide, Clean Eatz is operational in more communities now than ever before. As a result, their team expects this year’s WCL Challenge to be the largest and most inclusive to-date.

“This Challenge has really snowballed over the last five years, and every time we’re absolutely overwhelmed by the stories of change,” said Clean Eatz Co-founder Evonne Varady. “We want everyone to see what the WCL movement is all about. It’s not an overnight-change, ‘got-to-be-the-best’ push. It’s about believing in yourself, giving yourself a chance, and inspiring others through your hustle to do the same.”

Those interested in participating can sign up online at www.CleanEatz.com, or by stopping by their local Clean Eatz. Once registered, participants should share their efforts on Facebook and Instagram, tagging posts with #wechangelivez to be considered for the prize meals and $25k.

“KID does so much for so many disadvantaged families every single day, and it was truly an honor to partner with them. They have spent forty years providing crucial services to families, kids, and teens in need, so joining forces was a no-brainer,” Alex Pericchi, Vice President of Marketing and Online Learning, said. “This massive toy drive would not have happened without them and the work they have done and continue to do every day.”

The PuroClean home office and franchise offices across South Florida, along with dozens of community members and local business partners gathered over 500 donations, funneling them from drop-off locations near and far to be delivered to KID.

By joining forces with KID and local businesses, PuroClean aims to reach a wider audience, ensuring that the Season of Giving campaign has a far-reaching impact that will inspire all PuroClean locations to go above and beyond in giving back to their communities.

“We initiated this effort in hopes of bringing joy and cheer to our local communities this holiday season. Every child deserves to experience magic and love during the holidays, no matter their circumstances,” said Steve White, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for our team members, franchise owners, and participating partners who came together to make this happen.”

Partners include the owners and team members of the following local Southern Florida PuroClean locations; Ricardo Herdan, David Shiffman, Carlos Niemes, Joaquin Seminario, Kay Henriques and Hugo Urribarri. Other local business partners include Allegra Printing, Bright Pink Agency, the City of Tamarac, Rotelli Pizza and Pasta, Comfactor Air, State Farm – Sharon King, BurgerFi HQ, Dermalife Veins and Unique Cleaners.
