D1 Group Fitness Facility Opens In Pleasanton

PLEASANTON, CA — A new group fitness training center will open in Pleasanton Tuesday, followed by a Saturday ribbon cutting in a ribbon-cutting that will be attended by Mayor Karla Brown.

D1 Training, a franchise of gyms with over 60 locations, will open a new location on 4299 Rosewood Drive, Ste. 100. The facility will offer a training regimen led by a group of certified trainers.

D1 offers four age-based programs for ages 7-11, 12-14, 15-18, and adult. Each group workout is based on five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. The facility also offers one-on-one training.

Sanjay Sharma, an IT company owner, launched Pleasanton’s D1 Training. Sharma grew interested in fitness a few years ago when he had trouble keeping up with his children while playing. They encouraged him to lose weight, and over the next three years, Sharma ran 49 marathons.

Sharma has now signed a multi-unit deal with D1, and plans to open two more facilities in the coming years.

“If I can make my life better and healthy through exercise, then I can help kids learn how to implement a healthy lifestyle from day one,” Sharma said in a statement. “When I found D1 Training, I realized I aligned with their core values and was attracted to the idea of helping kids train so they could achieve their goals. I have never seen a facility with that option before. D1 Training will elevate the Pleasanton community with proper athletic based training for all ages and support a healthy lifestyle for kids and adults alike.”

On Saturday, June 25, the new gym will open at 10 with a ribbon cutting and introductions from Mayor Karla Brown and San Ramon Vice Mayor Sridhar Verose.

At 10:30, there will be a facility walk-through, and from 11-1 visitors can meet the coaches, take part in quick workouts, and enjoy refreshments.
