Fitness Company Opening New Facility In Arlington Heights

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — Founded by former NFL player Will Bartholomew in 2001, D1 Training will be opening a new fitness center for youth athletes in Arlington Heights next month. The facility, set to open on June 3, will be located at 71 West Rand Road.

According to the Nashville-based company, neighbors and residents can meet the facility's team at its grand opening event on July 13, which will also feature other local Chicagoland venders, Kona Ice and more. Chirag and Shraddha Shah are the owners of the Arlington Heights franchise location.

"We are so excited to open this new D1 Training location and be able to work with youth in the area to continue to grow in the sports they care so much about," Shraddha Shah said. "We love the idea of boosting their overall growth beyond just strength training so they can reach their highest potential on 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. D1 Training also offers one-on-one training with elite coaches.

"Chirag and Shraddha are the ideal candidates to bring the D1 Training experience to Arlington Heights," said Dan Murphy, the brand's chief operating officer. "We're thrilled to welcome them to the D1 family and are confident in their ability to show the Arlington Heights area what they’ve been missing out on."
