5 /5 Meredid Caves: We absolutely love D1 Gainesville! Our daughters, ages 15 and 9, have been members since it opened, and it’s been an incredible experience. The facilities are top-notch, the instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, and the entire environment promotes a healthy and positive lifestyle.
As parents of girls, we deeply value the role exercise plays in both physical and mental well-being. D1 has been instrumental in building their confidence and self-esteem. The Rookie and Devo classes are filled with kids who genuinely enjoy working out and being active. Our oldest also does private sessions to help prepare for her upcoming athletic season, and we’ve already seen great progress.
The instructors are always careful to ensure the exercises are age-appropriate and that correct movement mechanics are emphasized. It gives us peace of mind knowing our girls are being trained safely and effectively.
D1 has also been great for our girls’ social skills. They’ve met homeschooled students and kids from a variety of local schools — and when they work out, it truly feels like they’re at the gym with friends. That sense of belonging has made a big difference in how much they look forward to going.
The location and hours are super convenient, and we feel so fortunate to have such a high-quality training facility right here in our town. We honestly can’t imagine our community without it — D1 has become such a meaningful and positive part of our family’s routine. We’re beyond grateful for the impact it’s had on our girls!
