D1 Training Pleasanton — Local services in Pleasanton

Update: We just completed a 6-week challenge that was both challenging and rewarding. Personally, this challenge kept me focused on my eating, water intake, protein proportion and other things we often forget about in our exercise journeys.

During this challenge, there was an incredible amount of support from the coaches, and other members. There is such a sense of community and people really want to see others succeed.

Simply put, D1 Pleasanton is a great place to workout.

Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned athlete, or somewhere in between, D1's workouts will challenge you, but also reward your consistency. Throughout the 8-week programs, you're consistently building upon the week before, but the workouts vary each time so they don't feel stagnant or repetitive. They have a ton of weights (dumbbells, kettlebells, plates, etc.) from the lightest to the heaviest, and you never have to worry about not being able to find the exact weight you're looking for.

What really makes D1 is the people...both the customers and employees. With the way the classes are set up, you workout with people of all skill levels and backgrounds. I've met, and worked out, with a lot of people that I might not meet or interact with at a commercial gym. Regardless of what, or how much, you're lifting, everyone is really supportive and wants to see each other succeed. I've been working out here 2+ years and I've seen some incredible transformations along the way. The coaches and staff are incredible, too. The coaches really take the time to demonstrate the moves and proper techniques. They'll make sure you're doing the exercises correctly and finetune your posture to help maximize results. Most importantly, they're just good people who care about helping people succeed. The General Manager, Tatiana, is just one of the coolest people you can ever meet. She is super helpful with any question and, overall, just rocks! We'd be lost without her! At the front desk, Hazel is always smiling and giving encouragement before workouts. Her and Tatiana are a dynamic duo! The owner, Sanjay, has set up an incredible place to workout with great people to do it alongside.

All that being said, if you want to workout with the best people, the best coaches, and the best...

As a longtime member, I've noticed substantial shifts at the gym after the founding team of coaches and manager left. The once-customized training and active coaching have given way to a more passive style, diminishing the gym's personal touch. Additionally, coach engagement has decreased, with some distracted by their phones during sessions, affecting the supportive environment.

The requirement to share stations, without accommodating individual fitness levels, undermines the gym's inclusivity. It's reasonable to share, but pairing members of similar strength levels would be more appropriate and effective. Additionally, the revised cancellation policy, especially regarding medical emergencies, departs from the gym's former flexibility and focus on member needs.

The recent changes have unfortunately diminished my...

I participated in D1's 6 week weight loss challenge at the Pleasanton facility and had a great experience. As long as you follow the guidance, you will see results. The advice provided is not overly aggressive but rather very sustainable, allowing the journey to continue beyond 6 weeks. The workouts are excellent; they change weekly, which keeps them interesting. The best part of the facility is the coaches - Josh, Ali, Reggie, and Derek. All of them are great; they pay attention to form and ensure the postures are correct. If you happen to be in the same session as Sanjay (the owner), he motivates everyone to push themselves harder and recommends minor adjustments to help improve. Overall, great experience and will continue my journey with D1 beyond the 6...
