February 26, 2025


D1 Training, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, has opened a new location in Winter Garden at 765 Garden Commerce Pkwy suite A. 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.

Chris Inman and Lee Tucker join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including professional athletes like Kylie Fitts and Jordan Gay. Additional franchise partners include notable figures such as Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, Tim Tebow, and Michael Oher.

Inman and Tucker have opened the newest location in central Florida after being best friends in high school in the Gainesville area. Inman joins the D1 Training family after spending 14 years owning and operating a fire and security alarm company in the Orlando area. Tucker has spent his career in education as a teacher, and has always been active and passionate about sports and working with the youth to help them be the best version of themselves. The duo is excited to be joined by D1 Training veteran, and new General Manager Francisco Pabon who joins the Winter Garden after working for other D1’s the last four years and previously playing college football.

“Winter Garden is a thriving community with a strong emphasis on youth sports and wellness and we believe that D1 Training’s cutting-edge athletic development programs are a perfect fit,” said Inman. “By bringing D1 to our community, we aim to empower athletes of all ages to reach their full potential, both on and off the field.

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.

“Chris and Lee are the ideal candidates to bring the D1 Training experience to Winter Garden,” said the brand’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to the D1 family and are confident in their ability to show the Winter Garden 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 Chris and Lee will do just that in Winter Garden and its surrounding communities.”

Strategically expanding across the nation through franchising, D1 Training has more than 100 performance centers 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.
