New D1 Training Facility in Sarasota Helps Athletes Build Strength on and Off the Field Please join us for our Grand Opening event on 3/28/2026 from 12PM to 4PM, the center supports athletes in developing confidence, character, and strength. SARASOTA, Fla. 3/11/2026 – D1 Training, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, will be opening a new location in Sarasota at 501 North Beneva Road Suite 580 on DATE. The new 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. The new D1 Training Sarasota location is owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Jeremy and Veda Milin. After moving to Sarasota, the couple struggled to find a high-quality, affordable athletic facility for their three active children, a challenge shared by many local families. Inspired to make a difference, they partnered with D1 Training to open two locations, beginning with Sarasota. Combining Jeremy’s experience as a former professional soccer player and construction professional with Veda’s extensive background in finance and small business support, the couple is creating a state-of-the-art, welcoming environment where athletes of all ages can develop skills, build confidence, and thrive as part of the D1 community. D1 Sarasota is proud to be guided by Director of Human Performance Andrew Buchkoski, a renowned strength and conditioning expert with 25+ years of experience training high school, collegiate, and professional athletes. With hundreds of athletes drafted into the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB under his guidance, Coach Butch brings world-class expertise to help athletes of all ages build strength, confidence, and resilience on and off the field. The Milins will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including professional athletes like Kylie Fitts and Jordan Gay. Additional D1 partners include NBA star Chris Paul and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. “We wanted to create a facility where athletes of all ages could train at a high level and feel supported,” said Jeremy Milin. “With D1 Training, we can provide an environment that inspires growth, builds confidence, and helps every athlete reach their full potential.” 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. “Jeremy and Veda are the ideal candidates to bring the D1 Training experience to Sarasota,” said Dan Murphy, Chief Operating Officer. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to the D1 family and are confident in their ability to show the Sarasota 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 Jeremy and Veda will do just that in Sarasota 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.
