WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT THE D1 NATIONAL CHALLENGE

Phillip R.

National Challenge Participant

"I just completed the D1 Training 6-Week Challenge here at D1. The coaches were incredible at helping me develop my goals and motivating me to reach them!! From Coach Sara helping me get my form better for hang cleans where I feel confident to increase weight to Coach Justin pushing me to challenge myself more and more with each workout, the coaches at D1 Training Colorado Springs are TOP TIER. During week 4, I had lower back pains and every coach taught me different techniques to help it or how to modify a movement to accommodate for it - which is huge if you have ever had lower back pain. Major shoutout to Coach Devin, GM Julie, and Kalyn for being extremely motivating during the last 6 weeks!!"

Dave S.

National Challenge Participant

"Up 10 pounds of muscle and down almost 4% body fat in 2 months since I joined my new gym. Can't say enough good things about D1 Training programs."

Andrew K.

National Challenge Participant

"I just finished up the National 6 Week D1 Challenge! It was an exciting and eye opening experience to see what I can accomplish in the amount of time. Coach Jordan did an absolutely phenomenal job helping me stay motivated throughout the challenge. He pushed me to work through the new workouts routines and exercises and I haven't tried before. Despite working with directly with Coach Jordan the whole staff is friendly and knowledgable. If you are looking for a way to take your training to the next level make sure you stop by D1."

Tia G.

National Challenge Participant

"Wrapping up my first 6-week challenge at D1, and I haven't felt this good since high school. In just 6 weeks, I've seen more change in my body than I did in the first several months of joining... proof of how powerful the right accountability and support system can really be. Huge thanks to the D1 team for the encouragement, the coaches for their knowledge, and Haley for being my accountability coach. This challenge didn't just change my body... it resets my habits."

Laura G.

National Challenge Participant

"D1 is the absolute best place to work out. It has great coaches community, and workouts! Only workout my husband and I have consistently done and wanted to do over 12 years."

Madison P.

National Challenge Participant

"Anytime I walk into D1 I'm instantly in a better mood. The coaches have welcomed me since day one. They are incredible and always remind me I'm stronger than I think I am."

D1 NATIONAL CHALLENGE

Helping athletes of all levels

The D1 National Challenge is a structured, nationwide fitness challenge created to help athletes of all levels stay committed, push their performance, build sustainable habits, and see measurable progress.

Real Strength Is Consistency

Strength isn’t just muscle. Or losing weight. It’s consistency. It’s discipline. It’s the habits you build, the choices you make, and the way you show up for yourself, and others.

STRONG ALWAYS WINS

When you build that kind of strength… strong always wins. By combining performance training with habit-based micro challenges and attendance rewarding, individuals improve not only how they move in the gym, but how they live outside of it.
