D1 Training Ascension

Fantastic experience: I took the 6 week challenge and was absolutely blown away. Not only by the results I got but by how much I enjoyed working out with other people that had the same goal. On top of that the coaching I received was amazing. They encouraged, pushed, and were just as excited to be there as I was. If you’re thinking about trying out D1, stop thinking and do it, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I joined D1 with Blake and team in October for an 8 wk challenge. My goal was to tone up and lose some weight. Not only did I LOVE the workouts, the staff and the other people training with me, I lost 10 lbs in 8 weeks and cut some abs too! The meal plan alone works !!!!! It's the holidays now , and I've been cheating and slacked off working out but I'm still losing weight bc of the food I now know to eat! Down 12 lbs !! Thank you D1!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend this gym to anyone at any stage of there fitness journey. Trainers are very knowledgeable and very detail during training session. As a former Division 1 basketball player these movements are exactly like training back in college. And for beginners the trainers always have alternative movement or workout for those who aren’t at that advance stages and will work with you ever session to get you there. They also really focus on doing the movement with perfect form to prevent injuries and getting the most out every rep.The facility has a family welcoming environment and makes working out fun and competitive. Best gym by far that I have been apart of and would recommend to anyone at any stage of there fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The six week challenge is 400% NOT a scam/hype/get you in the door then drop you like a bad habit. They truly care about helping you reach whatever goals you may set for yourself and personally cater to the way YOU want to change your way of life. I've been into fitness/health/absaremadeinthekitchen nearly my entire life. For all of 2021 and the last few months of 2020 I SERIOUSLY feel off that wagon--Mostly due to injuries from overtraining followed up by "meh I want cake". LEMME TELL YA! In only SIX WEEKS-42 DAYS-that all changed. My number one goal was to get strong again. I went from a gooey 135lbs to a strong lean 120lbs. Improved my strength, endurance and my relationship with food. Blake is AWESOME at keeping you motivated and on track and always answered my MANY questions. The trainers are adamant about using correct form and knowing when I need to add more weight (which I LOVE). Don't even get me started on the members! I'll keep it short and sweet: Every. Single. Member. EVERYONE is so welcoming and supportive! I've never worked out with such a core group that cheers your successes, challenges you to push harder and picks you up after a fall as much as this one. I've been a member of MANY health and fitness programs and I can confidently say: D1 IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: D1 is an awesome facility! The instructors are so hands on. When you arrive you go straight to work and each workout covers every area of your body. The staff is so uplifting and it is such a great facility. Please come out and experience it. I promise, you will not want to leave this training facility!

Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere. Great coaches

Fantastic experience: The decision to set out to improve your lifestyle alone IS overwhelming -but when the time is right for you to leap, you leap! And I landed at D1 Ascension but not alone, the moment I open the doors the staff draws me in with their positive vibe, every time. On the turf, coaches offer high fives and encouragement at those moments when your body just wants to stop and your mind tells you, you can’t. Suddenly you hear, “You got this”! And just that quick you’re mind gets back on track. You can’t help but to smile and laugh, it’s like they know and remember the tough times of starting from zero. Their encouragement is the driving force that pushes you to keep going those 54 minutes (or so) you need to make your goals a reality. For some of us, it might be at slower rate than we hoped for but that push as you approach the top is THE hardest. After that you see your good habits snowballing and carrying through the second half, pushing you beyond the finish line. I know when I finish and I look back, I won’t be able to fathom where I end up!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a few months now and absolutely love it !! It’s a great way to start my day, there are a variety of class times, modifications are always available, and the entire staff, trainers and all, are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal. I’m upset with my self for not starting soon. Great leadership, awesome Coaches, and always welcomed with genuine smiling faces. The workouts are amazing and you will reach your goal(s). Personally… I lost 30lbs in 6 months. And 21 of those lbs were with D1 over a 7 week period.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with this gym was absolutely amazing. The guys here not only challenged my son but helped him with his personal self esteem. I will forever be grateful!

Fantastic experience: 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️So many good things about this place! I’m 30lbs down and not stopping there! Thank you D1 for giving me my life back! Coaches, front desk and management team are all AWESOME

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome gym with very knowledgeable and helpful trainers! I enjoy the team aspects of the adult classes. It definitely makes exercising fun. I was new to weightlifting before joining D1, and all the coaches were great at modeling correct form and guiding me through the exercises, especially in the beginning when I needed a lot of help. I want to give a special shout out to Coach Carrie for always offering modifications for certain activities and always encouraging me throughout the workouts!

Fantastic experience: D1 has really become my family. I have been struggling with my health all around and the coaches, staff, members have all come together to help me. I am so glad that I chose to train with D1. I definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: D1 is a tremendous asset to Gonzales and the surrounding cities/parishes. I've been attending D1 since the week they opened. The staff is awesome and all are consummate professionals. The culture they have created which exemplifies family, one TEAM, iron sharpening iron and paying it forward is contagious and they definitely walk it like they talk it. We couldn't have been blessed with a better staff. I love them all, even that guy Blake. Lol.

Fantastic experience: One of the best and friendliest places I’ve ever worked out. I’ve made so many friends working out here. Everyone is so welcoming and the coaches are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at D1! It’s the first gym that I go to where the athletes and coaches feel like family and I’m motivated to keep striving to meet my goals. I’ve gained confidence and strength while only being there two/three months! Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking to change their lifestyle for the better :)

Fantastic experience: D1 is such an amazing place. Not only is the facility nice and clean, but the staff is exquisite! They are full of joy, kind, and super helpful and knowledgeable. It truly feels like family when you walk in. If you’ve never tried D1, you should. You’re missing out! Do yourself a favor and Join the fam !

Fantastic experience: D1 is the best gym I have ever been a part of! I started out going 3 days a week then my son joined with me and he loved it so much we started going 6 days a week! I love the atmosphere, coaches, owners, ladies at the front desk and all of the members. Everyone is so encouraging and helps me want to push myself harder. I'm so much stronger and starting to lean out. I love the results so far! I have to say that my absolute favorite part about D1 is that my 11 year old son's class overlaps mine so it's something that we can do together and encourage each other when we pass each other during the workouts. He especially enjoys when we can race each other on Saturdays. I love watching the coaches interact with the kids. They truly care about heping them grow and it shows. That makes my heart so happy! Also, you know you love a place when you are willing to wake up at 4am to make the 5am class when you know you will be busy in the evenings!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality They are the BEST!!! We love everything about D1 Ascension!!! Push you when you need to be pushed help you achieve what ever your goal is and more!!! Never feel out of place!! Not to mention Best trainers around!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined D1 on 2/22/22. The date was memorable not because of so many 2’s but it was the day my life changed. I was given an 8 wk meal plan and worked out 2-3 times a week. My body went through a metamorphosis that I could not affect on my own. The trainers are really accessible, very encouraging and I found myself getting stronger and longing for the workouts. I’d recommend D1 to anyone. Regardless of where your weight loss/health improvement takes, D1 is a great start!

Fantastic experience: D1 Ascension is by far the best training facility that I've ever experienced. I'd recommend it to any and everyone, no matter the age or fitness goal. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and eager to help. The space is high energy and fellow athletes are always so motivating. If you're ready to change your life and reach your fitness goals, join today - don't wait.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend D1. The trainers are great and the workouts are too. Clarence pushes me and really motivates me to keep going.

Fantastic experience: The training my son has received at D1 Ascension has been outstanding. My son is a potential major college football player and D1 (Coach Clarence specifically) has helped him continue to grow and reach his potential. Coach Clarence has been flexible with his availability to train my son as we have a very busy schedule. My son will continue to train at D1 without any hesitation.

Fantastic experience: the place is amazing and all the coaches always have a grate atmosphere and i’m not a fitness person but i love came here to do my workout.

Fantastic experience: D1 Ascension is THE BEST OF THE BEST! As a 42 year old mom, I needed help and didn’t know where/how to start. I was weak, had aches and pains, and just generally out of shape. I went to other gyms and was clueless about what to do. I would just end up on the thread mill, and I hated every dreaded step. D1 makes is so easy - You just walk in! The staff made me feel welcome and guided me every step of the way. I now start my day at the 5am class with the coolest group of people. There is a “we’re in it together” vibe going on (That is probably my favorite part). I never would have believed how much I actually enjoy it. After just 2 months, I am stronger and eating healthier than ever before. My lower back and neck pain is gone!

Fantastic experience: As soon as you walk in door your treated like family by the staff. They go above and beyond their means to make sure you reach the goals you and Blake have set. Coaches will also work with during workouts to make sure you are doing them correctly and will change them if for reason you can do them.

Fantastic experience: D1 is an amazing place. The coaches there are not your average coaches. They go above and beyond. They know your name and make you feel like your the only one.

Fantastic experience: Love my gym!! I have been a member of D1 since 2016 and nothing compares!! D1 truly has the Best professional trained coaches by your side through every workout!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and great staff! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Love the staff and environment. One of the best gyms in the state if you’re trying to lose weight or gain muscle. Only con is that you have to pay weekly, which could be a hassle on a once a month teacher salary but other then that, D1 Training in Ascension is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: My son is at Nicholls for baseball and they did a great job preparing him for the workouts when he got to campus. Thanks

Fantastic experience: D1 is an amazing facility/gym to be a part of! From the front desk workers to the trainers has always exceeded my expectations. The work outs are hard, but in the end they are always fun and worth it! Highly recommend using d1 and becoming a part of their family!

Fantastic experience: D1 is awesome they have changed my life

Fantastic experience: Love it. Great staff. Amazing Energy & service. Keep up the amazing work. Pricey, but worth it.

Fantastic experience: I love D1 training this place has totally transformed me not only physically but also mentally I went from 201.3lbs to 184.5lbs in a matter of 5 weeks for a total of 16.8 lose of body fat I’m now back into a 36 waist thanks to all the coaches here at D1 training facility. The whole training staff here at D1 is very friendly and treats everyone like family here and the best part is that they learn everyone by name. The sign up was very easy I scheduled my consultation with Blake we set a goal and got to work. D1 for me now is more than just working out it’s a lifestyle now and I recommend D1 to anybody who is looking to lose weight and get that dream body they have always dreamed of having. If your up for an intense 6 week challenge then come and set up your consultation with Blake here at D1 training facility here in Gonzales.

Fantastic experience: This place is more like family than a gym! When I first walked in to D1 immediately I felt the warm in brace I started my six week challenge April 5 and I was weighing at 204 pounds. It is May 16 and I’m weighing 186 pounds. This place is a life changer. I just wanna think the coaches and the staff for all the hard work and dedication I really appreciate everyone of you thanks April

Fantastic experience: Excellent leadership and great atmosphere! They treat you like family and change lives.

Fantastic experience: The Coaches and Staff at this location are fantastic. I was someone leading a pretty sedentary lifestyle. The coaches ran a six week challenge to lose some weight and get back into shape. Best decision I have made in a long time. I was able to lose over 25 lbs in those six weeks. The first week was rough. But I have really enjoyed the workouts and getting back into shape. If you are someone looking for a positive atmosphere to come get back into shape this is your gym. I highly recommend this Gym.

Fantastic experience: My son enjoys the classes as well as the instructors. I like the fact that there are classes available for young teens.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality D1 has been a great resource for a daughter to get general athletic training and also to develop her basketball skills. Ross her basketball instructor has helped her grow significantly in just a few months. We highly recommend D1!

Fantastic experience: I was given an opportunity to participate in a challenge from 12/13/21-01/10/22. Yes through the holidays.! I agreed to challenge myself and try it out. Never thought I would lose weight or reach a goal weight. D1 handed me a meal plan suitable to my weight. Also offered me a list of supplements to purchase that would help me through the challenge, needless to say I purchased the supplements. As 12/13 approached I cooked my first week of meal prep, went great. Second week meal prep went well, even ate my meal prep for Christmas. It was a little hard in the second week, especially through Christmas. By the 2nd week I lost almost 7lbs. couldn’t believe what I was seeing because I didn’t have much confidence in my self control and will power. D1 kept pushing and helping me through this on a daily basis. As I approached the final week of meal prep and final weigh in I lost a total of 12 lbs. This challenge has taught me what food groups I need and how to portion the food out. Before this challenge I thought I was eating good and would get so frustrated that I was gaining weight. You do have to put the work in with the right foods, portions and exercise. D1 is there to help in understanding what we put in our bodies in leading to a healthier life. Thank you Blake and D1 for the encouragement, accountability, confidence in my healthier me

Fantastic experience: While I don't actually attend D1 training I am there every Tuesday and Thursday for physical therapy with my son. That being said D1 is ALWAYS HYPE with a with a great staff and overall great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: My family and I started at D1 Training Ascension a couple of weeks ago and we love it! It is truly a gym like no other! Even with our busy schedules, we are able to go daily with the large amount of Strength and Bootcamp classes available Monday-Saturday. The trainers are very professional and treat each gym member with dignity and respect. Even though I am not athletic by any means of the word, the trainers help me with technique and are so supportive that I feel as though I am becoming an athlete. I would highly recommend D1 Ascension to anyone in the Baton Rouge area!

Fantastic experience: Great training facility! Convenient times for group classes and/or individual training. I love being able to get into the gym and not have to worry about doing my own programming. I get in and out of the gym with no waiting around or wasted time. Highly recommend for anyone at any age or stage of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality D1 feels like a personal training session while still having the class atmosphere to motivate you more! The coaches are great to keep you safe with proper form while still pushing you to your best! Everyone is so friendly and non judgmental and it’s a very clean facility! By far the best workout for a great price!

Fantastic experience: Love D1. Great place to go get fit. They have great positive attitude. Very good at the work they do. Motivate you to reach your goal. Easy to pick time best for you specifically if you work. Fun environment. Overall, awesome!!!!

Fantastic experience: Coaches go above and beyond to help “their athletes” achieve whatever goals they’ve set. It’s not a “fad gym” and they encourage a lifestyle change to better yourself. Highly recommend anyone try out this place!

Fantastic experience: I love that the goal of this team and facility is not just to get you jacked. Everything is designed to help you become more athletic. After a few weeks here I already feel like I can move more athletically. Facility, coaches, equipment, and other members are all fantastic. If you are looking for a place to help you feel like an athlete again or for the first time, This is the Place!
