Air Force Veteran Opens D1 Training Facility in St. Augustine

D1 Training, a fitness enrichment concept utilizing athletic-based training methodologies, will open a new location in St. Augustine at 35 Summerlin Lane on October 13. The facility employs a sports-science backed training regimen led by certified trainers designed to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals. Chris Sieburg, an Air Force veteran who has called St. Augustine home for more than 20 years, will operate the new facility after retiring early from his role as Executive Vice President of Operations for a distribution company.

Sieburg joins a roster of impressive existing D1 Training franchisees that includes former professional and collegiate athletes, with additional brand partners including NBA star Chris Paul and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. After his military service and corporate career, Sieburg sought to combine his passion for entrepreneurship and fitness, discovering D1 Training as the ideal vehicle to bring valuable resources to his community. The grand opening event scheduled for November 8 will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony where St. Augustine residents can meet the facility's team.

So much growth can happen when we take on challenges, but having a supportive and motivating environment makes those challenges easier to face, said Sieburg. The D1 St. Augustine team is here to be that support system and help athletes grow through every challenge and stage of their sports and fitness journeys. D1 Training offers four age-based programs including Rookie for ages 7-11, Developmental for ages 12-14, Prep for ages 15-18, and D1 Adult programs.

Each fitness program follows the five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. Beyond group workouts, D1 Training provides group, semi-private, and one-on-one training with world-class coaches. The organization's goal remains training athletes dedicated to their sport or fitness goals regardless of age or athletic background. Chris is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to St. Augustine, 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 St. Augustine 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 will do just that in St. Augustine and its surrounding communities.
