New State-of-the-Art D1 Training Facility Now Open and Operating in Altoona

ALTOONA, Iowa (November 24, 2025) – D1 Training, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, opened a new location in Altoona at 305 Adventureland Dr NW, Suite 108 on November 10. The new group fitness facility employs a sports-science backed training regimen led by certified trainers to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals.

Altoona native Brandon Wagoner will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including former professional and collegiate athletes. Additional D1 partners include NBA star Chris Paul and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.

Wagoner is no stranger to local business. After graduating from Southeast Polk High School, he worked for his family’s business while attending college and watched as his cousin turned a small three-man operation into a multi-employee business. Inspired by his family’s entrepreneurial journey, Wagoner’s drive to build something led him to open his first business in 2020, Brick & Ivy Rooftop. Following the bar’s success, Wagoner saw the opportunity to bring something new to the community that combined his passion for sports. That’s when he discovered D1 Training and connected with its mission and the elite athletes behind the brand.

“At D1 Training, we aim is to instill confidence, teamwork and camaraderie through fitness and training,” said Wagoner. “With an incredible team of coaches, we’re excited to help Altoona athletes reach their goals, whether that means increasing agility, building strength, or simply becoming a better version of themselves.”

D1 Training offers four age-based programs including Rookie (ages 7-11), Developmental (ages 12-14), Prep (ages 15-18) and D1 Adult. 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 Training offers group, semi-private, and one-on-one training with world-class coaches. The goal is simple: to continue to train athletes who are dedicated to their sport or fitness goals, regardless of age, or athletic background.

“Brandon is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to Altoona,” said the brand’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the D1 family and are confident in his ability to show the Altoona area what they’ve been missing out on. D1 is a one-of-a-kind fitness experience that’s built around the individual and meant to help people meet their athletic goals. Our strong network of franchisees embodies our core values to bring the D1 Training vision to life, and we know Brandon will do just that in Altoona and its surrounding communities.”

Strategically expanding across the nation through franchising, D1 Training has more than 150 facilities open with over 100 additional locations in various stages of development. The brand is currently seeking financially qualified business builders, former athletes, and entrepreneurs, who share a passion for fitness and youth sports, who are ready to make a positive impact on their community.
