D1 Training, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, has reopened a new location in North Pittsburgh located in Cranberry Township on Nov. 11. The 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.

Randy Malesick, JD Blair and Paul Green join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including professional athletes like Chris Paul and Tim Tebow.

D1 Training North Pittsburgh is proud to be led by General Manager Derek Dowrey, a seasoned professional passionate about fitness and coaching. Derek’s journey with D1 Training began in 2020 as a trainer in Texas, where he quickly made an impact and continued his D1 Training journey in Florida. After two years at D1 Training in Florida, he entered his current role as General Manager for North Pittsburgh. Before joining D1, Derek was a standout lineman at Penn State, earning the Iron Lion Award for his exceptional off-field work ethic. He further honed his coaching skills as a Division I strength coach at Marshall University. With his extensive background in both athletics and coaching, Derek is committed to driving the success of D1 Training North Pittsburgh and helping athletes of all ages achieve their fitness goals.

"We’re thrilled to bring D1 Training back to North Pittsburgh with a highly-trained staff, new equipment and updated programs," said Randy Malesick, a Weirton, WV native and longtime Pittsburgh-area resident. "At D1 Training, our dedicated trainers are passionate about helping athletes of all levels reach their fitness and performance goals. We’re excited to welcome new members and support them on their personal athletic journeys."

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.

“Malesick, Green and Blair are the ideal candidates to bring the D1 Training experience back to North Pittsburgh,” 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 North Pittsburgh 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 this group will do just that in North Pittsburgh 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.
