Youth training facility opening in Rancho Cucamonga
D1Training, a training facility that works with youth athletes across the country, is opening a facility April 8 at 10768 Foothill Blvd in Rancho Cucamonga.
Jarrett Loop, the local franchisee, left his job in the electrician trades to join the field of youth training. He has experience working with kids as a trainer for young motocross enthusiasts.
D1 Training offers age-based programs including rookie (ages 7-11), developmental (ages 12-14), prep (ages 15-18) and D1 Adult. Each program includes warm-up, performance, strength, core and conditioning and cool down. D1 Training also offers one-on-one training.
Recognizing that a D1 training facility in the area could empower kids to pursue their goals, Loop took the initiative for his new location, personally handling the electrical installations and performing all the necessary demolition work himself.
