About D1 Training
D1 Training is a results-driven, athletic-based training facility for adults and youth athletes ages 7 . Our mission is simple: You pick the goal, we help you get there.
We combine elite coaching, a team-first culture, and proven training systems to help every athlete improve. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for team members who bring energy, discipline, and a genuine drive to help people take action on their goals.
Position Overview
This is not a “stand behind the desk and wait” role.

If you like fast-paced environments, clear goals, and actually seeing the results of your effort, you’ll fit in here.

If you like fast-paced environments, clear goals, and actually seeing the results of your effort, you’ll fit in here.
What You’ll Do
- Make outbound calls, texts, and follow-ups to new and existing leads
- Set appointments for free trials, consultations, and workouts
- Respond quickly to inbound inquiries (speed matters here more than you think)
- Guide prospects through the sales process from first contact to membership
- Recommend the right training program based on individual goals
- Maintain accurate notes and activity tracking in the CRM
- Consistently hit daily, weekly, and monthly sales targets
What We’re Looking For
- 1 year of sales experience (inside sales, membership sales, or similar)
- Comfortable with high-volume outbound calling and follow-up
- Strong communication skills and confidence on the phone
- Organized and disciplined with lead management
- High energy, competitive, and goal-oriented
- Customer service experience (fitness industry a plus, not required)
Why This Role Stands Out
- Clear focus on appointment setting sales, not random front desk tasks
- Opportunity to grow with a nationally expanding brand
- Direct impact on business growth and member success
- A team culture that actually cares about performance and development
