D1 Training monthly membership prices run from roughly $260 (that's 1.1 workdays of your life at a $30/hr wage, or $100 in 1990 money) for unlimited group classes to $1,200 for high-frequency personal training, with a combo plan sitting around $599. The exact figure depends on which franchise location you join and which training format you choose.

• Entry (unlimited group classes): $259.99 (about $100 in 1990 money)/month
• Mid (4 personal training sessions): $480 (about $190 in 1990 money)/month
• Common combo (4 PT sessions + unlimited group): $599/month
• High (12 personal training sessions): $1,200/month
• School-year prepaid option: $1,950 total (roughly $217/month over nine months)

D1 is a franchise chain, not a centrally priced national gym, so the numbers above come from a live official location page in Temecula, California, the clearest publicly available pricing found during research in April 2026. Your local facility may publish different rates or may require a consultation before disclosing prices.

The billing unit is per month for recurring memberships, though some locations also offer semester and school-year prepaid options. Training format (group versus personal versus combo) is the single biggest swing factor, capable of moving your monthly spend by more than $900 within the same facility.

What you’re actually buying

Jump to sections

A D1 Training membership is not a gym access pass. The core product is a coach-led, structured workout session that D1’s brand page describes as 54 minutes long, built around a five-phase format: dynamic warm-up, performance training, strength development, core and conditioning, and cool-down. Every session is led by a coach, not run on a self-directed floor.

The brand markets itself as athlete-style training available to all ages and skill levels, not as a boutique fitness class or a conventional gym. Group training puts you in a coached class with other members. Small group training reduces the group size for more direct attention. Personal training is one-on-one with a coach. These are meaningfully different products, and the monthly price difference between them reflects that difference in coach time and attention, not just a tier label.

What D1 is not: it is not a 24-hour open-access facility, not a yoga or cycling studio, and not a franchise gym where the membership fee buys equipment access. The adult training page frames the product around accountability and injury-conscious programming, which separates it from both low-cost gyms and general group fitness studios. You are paying for coach time and programming structure, and that is what drives the monthly cost above what most gyms charge.

D1 Training monthly price snapshot

The table below reflects pricing published on the official Temecula, California D1 Training location page as of April 2026, which is the clearest live official pricing found in this research. Prices at other locations may differ.

Format	Sessions per month	Monthly price
Unlimited group classes	Unlimited	$259.99
Personal training	4 sessions	$480
Personal training	8 sessions	$880
Personal training	12 sessions	$1,200
Combo (4 PT + unlimited group)	4 PT + unlimited group	$599

The per-session cost for personal training at the 4-session tier works out to $120 per session (4 sessions at $480). At 12 sessions, the per-session rate drops to $100 (12 sessions at $1,200). The combo plan at $599 adds unlimited group access to the 4-session personal training package, which means the group membership component is priced at roughly $119 above the standalone 4-session PT price, a modest premium for unlimited class access layered on top.

These figures come from the Temecula facility pricing page. D1 does not appear to publish a single national pricing schedule on its corporate site, which is consistent with its franchise model where individual operators set local rates.

Three real membership scenarios

Budget scenario, group classes only. A member who wants coached workouts without personal training commits to the unlimited group class plan at $259.99 per month. Attending three sessions per week (roughly 12 per month) puts the per-session cost at about $21.67, which is below the walk-in rate at many boutique fitness studios. The tradeoff is no individualized coaching attention beyond what a group coach can offer.

Typical scenario, combo plan. A member who wants both group class flexibility and four personal training touchpoints per month chooses the combo plan at $599 per month. Over 12 months, that totals $7,188 per year. Four independent personal training sessions at a mid-market rate of $80 per session would run $320 per month on their own, so the combo adds unlimited group access for an incremental $279 over that baseline, which is competitive if the member uses the group classes regularly.

High scenario, frequent personal training. A competitive athlete or rehabilitation-focused member chooses the 12-session personal training package at $1,200 per month. That equals three coached one-on-one sessions per week. At that volume, the per-session rate of $100 is below what many certified independent trainers charge per hour in major metro markets, though it does not include the open-gym flexibility that an independent trainer relationship might allow.

Why D1 costs more than a standard gym membership

The franchise cost structure helps explain why D1 member pricing sits well above a conventional gym. A 2026 Franchise Chatter review based on D1’s 2025 franchise disclosure document shows franchisees pay a royalty of 7% of gross sales, subject to a minimum monthly royalty that rises from $1,950 in the first applicable year to $2,950 per month in year three and beyond. The brand fund adds the greater of $250 per month or 2% of monthly gross sales, and local marketing requirements are currently set at $100 per day.

Startup costs for a new D1 franchise run from $480,557 to $933,432 per the same FDD summary, which includes a $59,500 franchise fee, a $29,500 opening support fee, and equipment costs of around $69,000 for standard equipment plus up to $16,341 for cardio. Rent deposits alone range from $5,714 to $26,453, with three months of rent estimated at $9,828 to $54,482. Those are not costs a low-margin, high-volume gym model can absorb. They require a membership price point that covers coaching labor, facility overhead, and ongoing franchise fees, which is why the floor for group membership sits near $260 rather than $30.

D1’s franchised outlet count grew from 90 locations at the start of 2024 to 127 by year-end 2024, according to the same 2026 FDD summary. That growth rate suggests the model is financially viable at current member pricing, but newer locations may still be building membership density, which could affect class availability and coaching ratios at some facilities.

Hidden and variable costs to check before signing

The monthly membership rate is not the only number to confirm before committing. Several cost layers are not visible on the pricing pages reviewed during this research and may be disclosed only during enrollment or in the local facility agreement.

Enrollment or initiation fees are common at coached athletic facilities and may apply at some D1 locations. Annual fees, which many gym chains charge once per year on top of monthly dues, were not listed on the Temecula pricing page but may appear in local agreements. Cancellation terms matter because D1’s subscription terms confirm that memberships auto-renew for consecutive periods unless the member actively terminates through D1’s system, and the local facility sets the specific cancellation and refund policy. A member who signs a multi-month commitment and needs to exit early could face forfeiture of prepaid fees depending on what the local contract specifies.

For youth athletes, some locations offer semester and school-year prepaid packages. The Temecula page lists a school-year paid-in-full option at $1,950 total and semester options at $1,150 each for fall and spring. Paid-in-full pricing may not be refundable if a student’s schedule changes mid-semester, so confirming the refund policy before paying a lump sum is worth doing.

Worked example: 12-month total for a combo member

A member at a D1 location with Temecula-equivalent pricing who chooses the combo plan at $599 per month and attends for a full year pays $7,188 in base membership fees (12 months at $599). If the location charges a one-time enrollment fee of $99, a figure common at boutique fitness franchises though not confirmed as a D1 standard, the first-year total reaches $7,287. That enrollment fee assumption is illustrative only; the actual fee, if any, must be confirmed with the local facility.

Over 12 months, the member receives 48 personal training sessions (4 per month) plus unlimited group class access. At an independent personal trainer rate of $80 per session, those 48 sessions alone would cost $3,840. Adding a basic gym membership for group access at roughly $50 per month (a mid-market commercial gym rate) adds another $600 for the year, bringing a comparable independent arrangement to approximately $4,440. The D1 combo plan at $7,188 costs roughly $2,748 more per year than that independent baseline, a premium that reflects the integrated programming, facility, and brand structure rather than raw session count alone.

Who this cost makes sense for

D1 is not a low-cost gym alternative. The monthly floor of roughly $260 for group classes is four to five times what a Planet Fitness base membership costs, and the personal training tiers exceed what many independent personal trainers charge per session. That pricing reflects a specific product: coach-led structured programming delivered in a franchise facility designed around athletic performance.

Makes sense if:

• You want structured, coach-led workouts and will not self-direct effectively in an open gym.
• You or your child trains for a sport and needs periodized strength and conditioning programming.
• You are willing to commit to a recurring monthly charge and can attend consistently enough to justify $260 or more per month.
• You want accountability built into your training schedule, not just facility access.
• You have priced out a comparable independent personal trainer and found D1’s combo plan competitive for the session count.

Doesn’t make sense if:

• You primarily want open-gym floor time or cardio equipment access without coaching.
• Your schedule is irregular and you cannot commit to consistent weekly attendance.
• You are comparing monthly spend to a standard gym membership and expecting similar pricing.
• The nearest D1 location is far enough away that travel time undercuts the value of the programming.
• You need a month-to-month cancellation guarantee before signing, since D1’s official terms note that cancellation and refund policies are set at the local facility level and disclosed at purchase.

Verification

• Confirmed the unlimited group class rate of $259.99/month and personal training package prices from the official Temecula D1 location page.
• Checked the five-phase, 54-minute session format and coach-led model against D1’s official brand explainer.
• Cross-referenced D1’s official training options page to confirm that group, small group, and personal training are distinct formats across the brand.
• Verified auto-renewal subscription language and local-facility cancellation policy structure against D1 Workouts’ terms of service and D1 Training’s terms and conditions.
• Confirmed franchise cost figures including the 7% royalty, minimum royalty schedule, brand fund, and startup cost range from the 2026 Franchise Chatter FDD review, published March 11, 2026.
• Cross-referenced 2023 location revenue data and historical royalty structure notes from the 2025 Franchise Chatter review to flag that older franchise agreements may carry different cost structures.

Takeaways

• The clearest official D1 pricing found puts unlimited group classes at $259.99/month and personal training packages between $480 and $1,200/month, with a combo plan at $599/month.
• D1 is a franchise, and individual locations control their own pricing and cancellation terms, so the numbers above are a reference point, not a guaranteed national rate.
• The franchise cost structure, including a 7% royalty, brand fund fees, and local marketing requirements, helps explain why D1 member pricing is materially higher than a standard gym membership.
• Memberships auto-renew unless actively cancelled through D1’s system; confirm the local cancellation policy before signing.
• Enrollment fees, annual fees, and cancellation penalties are not visible on published pricing pages and must be confirmed directly with the local facility.
• The combo plan at $599/month is the most cost-efficient entry point for members who want both personal coaching and group class access, based on the per-session math from the available pricing data.
• If consistent attendance is uncertain, the personal training packages carry the most financial risk because they commit you to a fixed monthly charge for sessions you may not use.

Frequently asked questions

Does D1 Training publish its membership prices online?

Not centrally. The corporate D1 Training website lists training formats but not specific monthly prices. Individual franchise locations may publish pricing on their own pages, as the Temecula location does, but many locations appear to require a visit or inquiry before disclosing rates. Call or visit your nearest location to get a current quote.

Can I cancel a D1 Training membership at any time?

Cancellation policies are set by the local facility, not by D1 corporate. D1’s terms and conditions confirm that memberships auto-renew unless you actively cancel through D1’s system. The specific notice period, any early-termination fees, and refund eligibility depend on your local facility’s agreement. Always confirm the cancellation policy in writing before signing.

Is D1 Training more expensive than hiring an independent personal trainer?

It depends on the package and your location. The 4-session personal training tier at $480/month works out to $120 per session, which is competitive with independent trainers in many markets. The combo plan at $599/month adds unlimited group classes, which independent trainers do not offer. If you only want occasional personal training without group access, an independent trainer may be cheaper. Get quotes from local trainers in your area to compare.

Are there discounts for youth athletes or school programs?

Some D1 locations offer school-year and semester prepaid packages. The Temecula location lists a school-year paid-in-full option at $1,950 and semester options at $1,150 each. These prepaid rates may offer a small discount compared to month-to-month billing, but they are non-refundable if the student’s schedule changes. Contact your local D1 facility to ask about youth pricing and any available discounts.

How many D1 Training locations are there?

D1 Training had 127 franchised locations by the end of 2024, up from 90 at the start of that year, according to the 2026 Franchise Chatter FDD review. The chain continues to expand, so the current count may be higher. Use D1’s location finder on its corporate website to locate the facility nearest you.
