Von Atkins' Bodybuilder Journey Drives Athlete Development At D1 Hendersonville | D1 Daily

The same discipline that helped Devon “Von” Atkins reach the top of the bodybuilding stage now drives his work as a coach and leader of D1 Training Hendersonville (TN).

In early June of 2026, Atkins tallied another bodybuilding title, placing first in the Florida Pro Classic Physique competition and also receiving the Outstanding Professional Athlete Award for the show. The title marked his 7th career championship in his bodybuilding career.

Today, Atkins is bringing that same mindset to his role as General Manager at D1 Hendersonville. While he continues to pursue his own goals as a professional body builder, he is also focused on helping every athlete who walks through the doors of D1 Hendersonville to reach their full potential.

In this video, Coach Von shares how D1 has helped guide him in bodybuilding training, and how he is then able to pour his energy into athletes looking to train for performance. Being a professional bodybuilder, Atkins’ unique perspective allows him to challenge athletes by maximizing their potential and allowing them to grow both physically and mentally.
