Our 7 year old twins go to training for an hour everyday. They LOVE going and working out with their coach and gym friends. As parents, we enjoy watching them participate in activities that teach them good sportsmanship, work ethic, discipline, focus, and responsibility. Plus its a great way to keep them active and healthy. I am so glad I found out about this place! :-)

I have been training at D1 for about 8 years. Hands down one of the best facilities and coaches in Columbus. If you stick to it for at least 3 weeks it becomes an addiction.There are all different ages and athleticism with a very positive and welcoming atmosphere. My 15 year old loves it and there 6 days a week now. So much better than him sitting on his Xbox 😁

Not much experience to speak of. Tried to enroll my kid but got nothing but prefabricated emails and texts. Tried to call 2 different locations several different times to speak with someone and go no answer. Their marketing and presentation is A1 tho 🤷🏽‍♂️Update: D1 reached out to me and had my son come in for a physical evaluation and consultation on training. Kyle was my sons trainer/evaluator and was great. My son say he liked him and wanted to start training there. So we did immediately. They have a great facility and top notch science and experience based training.Although they a bit tough to get to in the mornings, they are worth the trouble and I’m sure they’ll meet and exceed your expectations.Ask for Kyle.

I cant say enough good things about D1. My son, who is not gifted athletically, has just blossomed under Coach Bargers tutelage. They work very hard to maximize his potential. He has made consistent growth and its exciting to see him see his body change. Ive also noticed a positive change in his attitude.

Great all-around experience! From the first fay I felt comfortable and welcomed. Kyle truly wants each person to meet their goals and will help you work on your form and provide tips throughout class. The entire D1 staff is A1. I feel motivated, engaged and comfortable when I walk through their doors. Ive been a member of 5 other Columbus gyms and this is bar none the best and its not even close. Add in the layout of the facility and the environment it creates - I dont just feel like Im working out, I feel like Im a part of a team. It may be more expensive than other options, but its personal trainer level workouts and lets be honest you and your health are worth it!

I no longer have to create a game plan for my sons strength and conditioning, hes in great hands, hes also received compliments from fellow athletes and coaches regarding his footwork,D1 has helped his weightlifting confidence and best of all...he takes initiative to get to the facility, I donthave to poke and prod to get him here.Great resource, Charles Barger is great with his communications to the kids.Worth every penny to have that peace of mind. I didnt want to give a review because these guys are my secret weapon.

D1 is taking my daughter to an entirely different level of athlete! On top of Liv Soares (former CAPTAIN of the OSU Womens Ice Hockey Team) being her personal trainer, shes developing strength and confidence. Shes also learning all she needs to know regarding how to properly take care of her body and how to strength train by herself someday. EVERYTHING she is learning at D1 she will use the rest of her life. It just doesnt get any better than D1!

Love the atmosphere at D1 Columbus! This is a great gym for all ages. Kyle, Andrew, Charles, Olivia, and Kyle are the best. Definitely the best gym in Columbus.

D1’s adult program is everything CrossFit should be. Instead of focusing on speed and quantity of reps, they focus on technique and strength. The workouts are diverse and scalable. Everyone is able to push themselves to the appropriate degree and either load up the weight or tone existing muscles. Each person in the adult class typically has their own station. This allows you to quickly move between lifts in the superset. My Apple Watch usually tracks me between 600-900 calories. So there is plenty of cardio obtained through the lifting focused workout.

Before joining D1 sports training, when I went for my annual physical, according to the BMI index, I was overweight at 167 Lbs.. after training at D1, I’m now at a healthy weight of 147lb., my doctor says ‘Keep doing whatever you are doing’ .. D1’s strength training program really works.. also I’m not on any prescription medication, thanks to working out at D1...

D1 is the best place in Columbus for full-body strength training!

Very good! Have been going for a couple weeks and I like it a lot!

DI is really an exceptional place! Their commitment to the health and fitness of my son, kinda makes me wonder. “ Where were you guys 2 years ago”? His Trainer is seriously committed to his success and longevity and that brings delight to my heart. I feel my son is in great company! And have since recommended D1Training to others!Thanks!

Love it and very generous staff and professional

Awesome facility & great “team” atmosphere. Staff is very talented & workouts are super challenging & creative; the adult boot camp has a different workout every single day, usually incorporating some of the many cool implements that are available here (but not available in most gyms). The workouts are as challenging as you want to make them; a good fit for people of all fitness levels.

Ten stars. I’m in love with this place. Everyone from the trainers to the trainees are amazing energy to be around. I’m excited to go everyday, and have seen progress immediately. The employees are passionate and the facility is well equipped. They are always willing to answer questions and make an effort to get to know you. Workouts are hard and efficient. I will be here for a long time. Thanks for everything you guys do!

It had been over a year since I had worked out because of some knee issues and so I was pretty nervous to start up again but D1 has been an great experience. The environment is exactly what I was looking for: non-intimidating, challenging while still maintaining a fun atmosphere. The entire staff has been very kind and helpful from a friendly greeting when you walk in the door to simply helping you put your equipment away. The coaches are knowledgeable, kind, extremely helpful and will go out of there way to help accommodate any fitness levels. Even the people that attend the class are friendly and willing to help. The have a nice variety of equipment and different workouts so that it keeps it interesting and you work different muscles. I highly recommend D1.

Great gym to train at! I would recommend D1 to everyone regardless of fitness level or experience. Trainers do a great job of showing you the workouts and getting the most out of you. Best gym I’ve been to.

D1 is an exceptional training facility. The trainers are amazing and focused on teaching you how to properly execute moves and lift weights. They keep you motivated and push you to reach your maximum potential. I highly recommend this facility and it’s staff.

Definitely worth it because theyre actually paying attention, teaching and correcting proper form and technique. They wont let them slack off either but theyre positive in their encouragement. Been there almost a year and my 9 yo daughter goes just for the workout between seasons and just to get physical activity.

Great facility and coaches! Whether you are just getting started in your physical health journey, or already a proven athlete, you will be pushed to get the most out of your effort. Very welcoming!!

D1 is the best workout experience I have ever had. I dislike working out in most gyms. The coaches are very knowledgeable and make sure you are doing everything correctly. They make me accountable to finish the entire workout. I highly recommend D1 if you want to be in the best shape of your life.

D1 Columbus is all I could ask for and more in a gym. All of the coaches are friendly, approachable, and encouraging. No matter your fitness level, they will meet you where you are. The concept of D1 works with my lifestyle. I no longer have to figure out a workout of the day, program, or motivating music. D1 Columbus supplies them all. Just come in with an open mind and an attitude to get better each day. With my constantly changing schedule, I really like the fact that I dont have to book classes way in advance or get charged if Im not able to make it. Theres always room whenever you can make it in. The workouts are very challenging and dynamic, training muscles I know I havent trained in years or ever at all. I have taken classes with Bryce, Adam, Brian, and Chuck. All very knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely wants to make us better...whatever your better is. Members are just as encouraging. We all help and cheer each other on throughout the workout. D1 definitely makes working hard and getting better, FUN! If I could give more than five stars, I would!

This is an outstanding training facility with trainers who know exactly what they’re talking about, but share their knowledge in a down-to-earth helpful way. A lot of positivity and support to go along with awesome workouts. Shout out to Brian M. and Bryce C. for great 5am workouts!

Best place to workout in Columbus! My kids and I have all worked out here and have all seen results! It’s my favorite adult workout and the trainers are great, motivating, and fun! It is so much like having a personal trainer. My kids have improved both their speed and agility better here than any other workout! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!???

The experience has been wonderful. The coaches have been very helpful. All the workouts, conditioning and strength training are perfect for a person who want to pursue a sport. The coaches have been helping understand my strengths and weaknesses so that enough work can be put on the things that are needed to improve.

Excellent staff! Excellent workouts with a variety of exercises that get the sweat pouring. Staff is very good at ensuring you are using proper form. The groups are always welcoming.

If you are interested in getting back in shape, or maybe never were and would like to, come to D1. I was a high performing athlete for 20+ years, then life happened. Kids, work, etc. after 15 years “off”, in the 3 weeks I have been coming here, I see a noticeable difference. The workouts are never the same, which keeps it interesting and working every muscle you have. It’s a positive environment and as fun as this type of exercise gets!

I’ve been taking the strength classes here (2 ish days per week) for about a month and have really enjoyed it. The trainers are helpful, the other members are welcoming and I leave the gym feeling motivated and refreshed! Classes are pretty intense but can be easily modified until you get the swing of things

D1 has helped to push me to my fullest potential during the Boot Camp classes. It’s a great workout! The coaches make sure I’m using correct form and give feedback throughout the session. I love leaving D1 knowing I worked hard and can’t wait to go back again the next day!

D1 - great training facility. I am 14 years old and started training two weeks ago to helpImprove my agility and strength for travel baseball. I try to go Monday -Friday if my schedule permits. Already seeing some improvements! Thanks D1!JJ

Great place to get an amazing workout whether you are a beginner or have been working out for months. The trainers are so knowledgeable to make each exercise work for you whether it needs to be harder or easier. I have never left there not soaked in sweat and feeling like I had an amazing workout!

Great relationships

I love D1 because before I was looking for a place where a kid could workout. My football coach started being a trainer there which is great. I was not working out before i started at D1 then i started running and working out. The trainers are really kind, they encourage and push you to persevere.

My son has been coming to D1 for a couple months now and all I can say is wow, what a change. He is more mobile, flexible, and is increasing his strength and stamina daily. Thanks to all the staff who work with him and push him to be his best. I highly recommend D1 to obtain your fitness goals

Excellent facility for training for all types of sports… Very knowledgeable coaches and a very diversified workout plan.If you were looking to get into athletic shape no matter what your sport, this is the place!

Our experience with D1 has been top notch. From our daughters interaction with the coaches, to the exercises to the facility itself, everything is first class. My daughter has improved her strength and stamina and also grown more confident in herself. I would recommend D1 to anyone looking to help develop a young athlete!

I really like the facility and the trainers and how they push you to do more but ease you into higher weights, the sessions are really balanced too between lifting and field or running.

I like how the coaches push you to keep going and not give up. My favorite part was fun Friday’s. The schedule was flexible.

Our son has already made vast improvements both physically and mentally! All the trainers and coaches set standards for our son and do not allow excuses and highly encourage him to push through at the hardest moments! This is Definitely a facility built on character and personal development for everyone!!

I love training at D1. The staff is absolutely excellent makes every training session effective and challenging, while still keeping it super fun. It is the first training facility I have ever attended that will actually alter your workouts to what you need. I recently injured my rotator cuff and was limited on the excersises I was able to perform... Bryce and the staff there made modifications to my workout so that I still get a thorough workout.Whether your a beginner or advanced in your fitness goals D1 is the place for you. Fun, challenging, community vibe. GO CHECK EM OUT

D1 is incredible! The workouts are challenging but doable. Working towards a better wrestling season!

D1 is an awesome place to train your body! From agility to strength, they have personalized trainers that improve your technique and help you learn more effective drills to help in sports.

I personally have loved D1 more than any sports team or athletic group that I have been a part of. It is a phenomenal place filled with great community, competition, and fun. I would strongly recommend anyone to come and try it out because you definetly won’t regret it.

Our 14 year old son goes to D1 and he loves it. We can see a big difference in his body and his endurance. The staff there is awesome and knows what they are doing. I only wish we would have brought him earlier!!!

My son and his buddies love working out at D1, at least 3 days a week! They learn how to workout correctly, are motivated to work hard and push themselves and are creating healthy habits that will last a lifetime!

Nicole and Bryce are absolutely amazing coaches I’ve been taking boot camp and the strength classes for the last 10 days and I’m in LOVE. The face that D1 has classes starting as early as 5am and run all day works with my schedule. Come join the fun and be amazingly fit with D1. :-)

Personal, professional, challenging, and fun. It’s a phenomenal experience. I feel respected, pushed, cared for, and, generally, better. This is everything I ever would’ve wanted from a gym.

Really great workouts: both Boot Camp and Strength classes are fun and challenging. D1 is great for anyone with any level of fitness. I recommend D1 to so many people.

This place is amazing, it pushes you to be your best with trained people that help you through everything if you need help. All the coaches are nice and know what they are talking about and encourage you to be your best at ever point through the class/lesson

The staff here is friendly, the trainers are professional and positive, and the workouts are great!I’m new to functional training, but love it!

Love D1! Workouts are challenging but fun. I am getting stronger and faster. Also, the trainers are very nice.

My nephew is training here to improve his skills for the upcoming football season. D1 was recommended to us by several different people and even though they were highly recommended, I must admit at first I was a little skeptical because he is a Hard Gainer.He decided to go the personal trainer route, to make sure that he got individual attention on the areas he felt he was weak in. After the first week, I could already see improvements in his speed and his agility! After the second week, I started to see improvements in his confidence, strength and overall mentality of the sport.His trainer Lenny is no joke! The training schedule he has my nephew doing, can get you in shape just by watching. He understood from day one what my nephew needed and he has provided it 100%! His grandmother commented today that his arm muscles feel a lot bigger and she would know, he is escorts her to the car everyday, so she holds those arms a lot...I can honestly say that D1 is well worth the money, but more importantly, if you want to improve your overall physical fitness theres no other place to go!

I enjoy working out at D1 Columbus. We get pushed hard, and have amazing support. I feel prepared to be an athlete at the next level.

Theres no place like this! Fitness and training on steroids 💪 Great for teens and adults.

This place is for real. My 9 year old daughter started about 1 month ago, and she is already doing amazingly better with regards to form and speed. Let there be no questions-it is hardcore!!!!!!

Great place to sweat, run, lift and listen to workout music. Awesome, inspiring coaches, all there to help you gain the goals you have in mind for your body, mind and health. #d1rocks

Love working out at D1 Columbus! Best place ever, love working with Brian!

Great place to workout. High quality equipment and the best trainers I’ve ever worked with.

Im so glad my husband introduced me to D1. In the past, I tended to shy away from strength training facilities and even though the workouts are tough, the staff and people make it a fun and enjoyable experience.

They have great coaches, work the kids hard and teach discipline.. love it!!

Helpful, positive staff/trainers and challenging workouts.

Great work outs, the trainers really push the kids to get the most out of each training session!

Awesome staff does a great job of training young athletes!

I think its good it really helps my son and his ability to do more for working out.

Knowledgeable staff. Very pleasant

The best place to train in Columbus great classes and wonderful trainers. A family environment where kids and adults can train.

Really hard but I feel great after!!!! Would recommend for young athletes!

Great place to train. Awesome coaches awesome facility

For the money they charge more technic could be taught

Love D1. I love the intense training, especially the lifting. They’ve helped me on my form and I can already see improvement within the couple weeks I’ve started with them.

D1 Columbus prepared my children for their seasonal sports. They learned technique, discipline, and built endurance all while getting in shape for their respective sports seasons.

Great place with great staff.

Great place to workout... even for a 43 year old!

D1 is awesome, great direction for the kids to focus on thier goals!!!

Every week Is challenging and I’m being pushed to the limit

Best place to train in the city.

Great program for youth development.

Not enough spectator seating. Needs more upkeep in restrooms. Friendly staff.

Great training for young athletes !!
