I was happy at my previous gym, so I didn’t expect to find something noticeably better but D1 proved me wrong fast. The coaching and energy exceeded my expectations, and the trainers do an outstanding job working with people of all ages and fitness levels. The training is incredibly well-rounded, combining strength, performance, cardio, and mobility into smart, challenging classes led by top-notch instructors. You’re not just getting a workout you’re getting intentional, results-driven training. D1 has raised the bar for what a great gym should be.

I’ve been hitting the morning bootcamp at D1 and it’s been solid. The workouts are challenging and geared toward staying strong and fit for an active lifestyle. The coaches are great, and the new gym is super clean. Looking forward to Monday.

Great group personal training facility with motivational staff. Preplanned sessions make it great to get a workout done in one hour for people with tight schedules, no fighting for equipment. Glad to have this type of facility so close.

I highly recommend D1 training in Cary. They have experienced coaches, the facility is clean plus well equipped with weights and cardio equipment. Coach Kenny is very motivating and knowledgeable. There is a wonderful sense of community with the members due to the staff being welcoming and friendly. The gym welcomes all ages and fitness levels. Their training program helps us stay accountable and achieve our fitness goals with periodic testing. Like Coach Kenny states… this is “training not a workout”!

My daughter joined D1 when they opened up! Couldn't be more pleased with the facility and the coaches!! If you have a budding athlete, i would recommend D1.

The level of Clarity+Encouragement+Accountability offered here to help others achieve their goals makes this one of, if not the most effective fitness and athletic training facility for kids as young as 7 years old and adults of all ages. If your health, fitness or athletic goal is more of a commitment than a feeling, success is only a matter of efficiency and consistency working with D1 Training Cary!!

Love this place!!! The team atmosphere, the coaches and staff dedicated to keep you on track and meet your goals. The accountability, it’s almost fun…..no really love this place. And it’s a family affair, my daughter and I started together, and now my wife is joining. Added 8/16/2025 This place has been my home away from home. The atmosphere is electric but inclusive. Everyone at any level is part of the family and we all encourage each other. I will share two big reasons I continue and will continue here at D1 Cary. For me, I started this journey with D1 still healing from patella surgery in December. Even before the gym opened I was in touch with Coach Kennie and he was giving me tips and exercises to do to be ready for when the workouts started. I started here at 305 lbs, I weighed myself recently I am down to 284.8, down 20.2 lbs, and feeling great. The other piece is the youth programs they have. My 10 year old daughter goes here and absolutly loves it. The coaches train them hard, but smart. Teaching proper technique and fundamentals for each exercise so they get the most out of it and minimize any chance of injury. All the coaches are fantastic, but I do want to give a shout out to Coach Corrie, especially for my daughter. Having a female coach who shows the importance of good exercise habits, not only engaging the kids so they want to listen to her, but making every class challenging but fun. Coach Corrie has had an enormous impact on my daughter and her progress. We love D1 Cary and are grateful we found this place and become apart of the family.

I can’t say enough good things about D1 Training Cary! The coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled—they meet you exactly where you are while still challenging you to improve. Returning to workouts after a hip replacement, it’s been so reassuring to know this is an environment where I can safely continue building strength after finishing my rehab. As a physical therapist, I truly appreciate finding a place that understands how to help people improve their functional fitness without risking injury. The programming is thoughtful, effective, and supportive for people at all levels. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a safe, challenging, and encouraging place to train!

Joined D1 so my high schoolers could continue to focus on conditioning between sports seasons. I decided to give it a try for myself and I have really enjoyed it. I enjoy the focus on weightlifting while still getting conditioning done. I appreciate the 5:30am classes and rotation of legs, arms and total body. The coaches are great. The members are great. Everyone is really supportive and I really enjoy it.

I have really enjoyed my time at D1 Training in Cary. The workouts are challenging, fast paced and I can already see the difference in my body composition. The programming is focused on helping you reach your goals and the coaches are knowledgeable, fun and provide you with the right amount of encouragement while ensuring you get the most from your workouts. The owners are invested and care about their staff and athletes. If you are looking for personal training but like the group setting this gym is for you! Go and check them out!

My 7-year-old started at D1 and he’s already learning discipline, good exercise habits, and how his body moves. It’s also improving his running and strength, which ties directly into his soccer. Great program for building skills in and off season.

Worked out at D1 Training in Cary after getting to know the owner, Darren—and I was genuinely impressed. A great balance of strength and functional fitness, an incredible facility, and trainers with real athletic backgrounds. The energy and sense of community in the room was palpable. Highly recommend.

When I first joined D1 Cary, I was looking for more than just a gym — I needed consistency, accountability, and a place that would push me past my comfort zone. Three weeks in, I can already see the difference. The workouts are no joke — structured, challenging, and designed to make you stronger each session. But what really stands out are the coaches. They know their stuff, they pay attention, and they encourage you without letting you slack. I never feel like just another member; they actually notice my progress and push me to go further. If you’re serious about results and want a place where the energy matches your effort, D1 Training Cary is it.
