“There are a lot of heart issues in our family and I’m prone to that. I want to live a long life and live it, not just show up. I only needed one workout to know that D1 is where I wanted to be.”

Scott Holiday

“What motivates me to work out is my drive for a volleyball scholarship. When I came to D1, I learned the right way to lift weights, got more muscle and began to develop an athlete’s body. D1 is serious about their athletes. They help you and work with you so that you train the right way.”

Alessandra Kennedy

“The great thing about D1 is that there are different exercises every day, working a different part of my body. I don’t get bored. Even though I’m not an outstanding athlete, I feel like an athlete when I am here. Both my sons are into sports, my husband utilizes the personal training, so we all love coming here. It has made such a difference for us.”

Amy Long

“Four years ago I came to D1 as a guest. I was always an overweight child and this type of environment intimidated me. I thought it was a place just for athletes. Everyone here has been so encouraging and motivating, and now I feel like I am the athlete I never was. It’s finally here.”

Donna Elle

“I tried different gyms and always ended up doing the same thing for the same amount of time — and going nowhere. The coaches at D1 are so encouraging; they got me in the front door when I was scared to death. They get to know you and give you the kind of attention you’re not going to get at other gyms. I’ve lost 50 pounds, but I have also gained so much confidence.”

Lindsey Gilpin

“My husband and I take a strength training class and then walk over and do a boot camp. It’s lot of work but the results are amazing. As a family, this is something we can do together. Our kids are learning how to not give up, how to keep going and how to follow through.”

Joining the D1 family was the best decision my son and I have made all year. We enjoyed working out at the same time. He'd be with his age-group doing age-appropriate training while I was working out and getting my sexy back. When my son started at D1, he struggled curling 5lb weights and now he's curling 15s and setting bigger goals… I've also lost weight and toned; I have more strength and endurance, and wore a bikini for the first time ever this summer…

Energetic, fun, strength building environment. I always leave feeling like I have pushed myself and gained something more each time. Coaches are great and are always able and willing to help improve my form and push me harder.

D1 has gotten me back to where I need to be. The trainers and classes have gotten me back to the level of fitness I want and need to be at. They are tough but reasonable and geared towards people who want a better general physical fitness and not just t-shirt muscles. I’m very happy with D1 STL West.

I love D1; great environment, some great coaches.... it has a family feel, and it definitely keeps ya motivated! The Bootcamp definitely works me out like I never have before, and I love that! The coaches are knowledgeable and great with giving modifications for your workout if there is something you are not capable of doing (due to injury). The people that are members there are just as awesome. I did the free 1-week trial and went every day of it, the signed up!

A D1 workout is a workout unlike any other. I joined with a little hesitation and have been beyond surprised. D1 preaches the D1 Difference and it’s legit. From the staff to the facilities; I’m so excited to workout each day. I love having a new workout waiting for me each day, and trainers who treat you like family. Everyone I’ve met has an interest in bettering me and it is truly a team effort. I’m seeing results faster than ever before and I’m so happy to be part of the D1 family!

Since the moment I stepped into D1, I have felt so welcomed!! The workouts are unlike any other. It feels so much more like a team effort than the individual! Plus the coaches and instructors do a great job at keeping you motivated!! I can already feel the difference in my body after 4 weeks!!

D1 provided me the workouts that I needed: fun atmosphere, group training classes, helpful and encouraging coaches, team training, and convenience of times and locations. I ran out of excuses! My initial goals were weight loss and to become "healthier" and "stronger." While I haven't exactly lost any pounds in the last month of training, I have noticed improved stamina throughout the workouts, decreasing recovery time, increasing flexibility, increased strength with higher weights, and improved mood overall. So far I love D1, and I highly recommend it to beginner through advanced athletes, kids, and adults.

You're not in it alone anymore. D1 Training is not just about the workout, it's about teamwork. I love that I can work out one day with a bunch of people I know all with different skill levels, and the next day it can be a totally different group, all working towards a better self. I've been at another gym for the last few years and was really looking to have to hire a personal trainer to challenge myself, but at D1 I get more than that. I get a coach and a team to work out with every day. The workouts constantly change and are even adapted mid-workout to accommodate for the group. Sometimes a little harder and sometimes a little less to keep our motivation going. Coach Q is always sure to throw on some extra weight on the prowler if he thinks I need it.

D1 is unlike any other gym you've been to. There's no monotony to the program and no confined spaces and machines because of the huge field. The coaches and the other people working out are always super positive and it'll keep you coming back. I do the Boot Camp and can feel the total body workout every time.

From the first time I stepped on the turf, I knew this experience would be different. There’s a community I’ve been missing - I’ve found it here at 6:00 am. I have found that I push myself harder when I have my “teammates” cheering for me. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, fun, encouraging, but expect no less than 110%. I’m thriving here and it’s only my 8th day. My kids love it, too. We haven’t missed a day!

“

I am not a Division 1 athlete, but it sure is fun to train like one. Coach Q is truly one of the best and I can't speak highly enough about the community that is being created here. It's encouraging, it's warm, it's welcoming and there hasn't been a day that I have regretted coming at 6 a.m....Team Savage is really the best!!

This place is incredible. You get a focused workout with a coach that pushes you the whole time. The coach is also watching your form and will correct you if needed while in a group setting; which I appreciate being a trainer previously. I enjoy the energy of the place, its high. You also don't ever feel out of place. Everyone there is so friendly. I have recommended this place to many of my friends and have taken many there for workouts. If you are looking for something fun and that you will stick to, this is the place. And one more plug, if you were an athlete in high school or college, this will bring you home. D1 Baby!

I was looking for a gym that would motivate me and help further my fitness pursuits. The coaching and facility staff have been over the top friendly and informative. The equipment, facilities, and workouts are top-notch. I feel drained after every single workout, yet I want to come back for more the next day. If you are reading this review, trying to decide if this gym is for you, just do it. You will not regret your decision to sign up if your goal is to get in better shape or continue to stay in shape.

Want to boost your 11-year-old son's confidence? Send him to D1 to train with the most energetic, knowledgeable, and inspiring staff! Every day he comes home feeling more and more confident about himself and his abilities. Thank you for making him feel like a beast!

“

Hands down the best gym around! The group training is the way to go! Everyone is so friendly and helpful! I would recommend D1 to anyone on any skill level!! The trainers are beyond helpful and willing to help!

”

Abby K

“

There is such a great atmosphere! The coaches take time to introduce themselves to any new athletes, and then take enough time to explain the movements before the workout. The work is constant enough to never feel rested, but with short enough breaks where you don't constantly want to throw up. A great workout, but not so punishing that you dread going for the pain. Seriously, get in here.

“I get the opportunity to exercise at one of the most unique and challenging gyms in the country. It’s a different workout experience than I’ve ever been a part of. Really good people, supporting and pushing each other. If you get a chance, try it out.”

Jeff Carpenter

“When I was told I needed a hip replacement, I decided it was time to get in better shape, increase strength over all and especially the supporting areas of that hip, and lose some weight. I wanted to be as fit as possible for a 76 year old woman, and give myself the best recovery. I decided to use a personal trainer at D1 to guide me and she has been fantastic. I still have a way to go but we are making progress. When I feel I am ready, I will schedule my surgery. In the meantime, I'm having a great time working out.”
