Michael Oher co-opens new training facility in Collierville

10/21/2014

D1 Sports Holdings LLC opened its 25th sports training and therapy facility in Collierville on Oct. 13.

D1 Memphis is co-owned by Memphis native and the subject of the Oscar-winning film "The Blind Side," Michael Oher. The current Tennessee Titan will make appearances for member events.

"We bring the training, and they bring the therapy. It's an all-encompassing place," said D1 representative Natalie Ewers. D1 Memphis is partnered with adjacent OrthoOne orthopedic medicine clinic. Ortho One, which opened in 2008, will provide physical therapy services within the 20,000-square-foot gym and continue standalone practice with outside clients.

OrthoOne holds exclusivity for the Memphis market if D1 decides to expand further into the Memphis market.

"It's a huge thing for us," said Gail Lindberg with OrthoOne. Lindberg said she does not foresee any staff changes at OrthoOne. D1 Memphis will employ four to six people, according to Ewers.

The opening membership is limited to 200 people. Ewers said she could not speak to how many people have signed up so far. She added that therapy services are processed through individual insurance groups and are not included in the gym membership.

"Hopefully we'll just be in every major city. That'd be ideal," Ewers said regarding the Memphis expansion. "It's a good market, and we found good partners."

Date Night Idea: Opera Memphis and Ciao Bella

10/7/2014

0 Comments

 
What's better than this date night idea: attend an opera about a sexy jerk who makes everyone hate him and then gets what's coming to him? A date night where you also get some fun prizes and a dinner at Ciao Bella, of course.

In all seriousness: this Thursday and Saturday, Opera Memphis performs Don Giovanni, Mozart's famous opera version of "Don Juan", and it's going to be genuinely amazing. If you haven't had a chance to see/hear Memphis' very own opera company, know that the musicians and singers are incredibly talented, the sets and costumes are lovely, and you'll be glad you tried something new.

Tickets range from $33 – $74 depending on seats, and the show is at 7:30 p.m. at GPAC both nights. Don Giovanni is really more for adult audiences. If you do want to take your kids to the opera, Opera Memphis is putting on kid-friendly Hansel & Gretel in mid-January.

Ciao Bella is in East Memphis at 565 Erin Drive; it's open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and for dinner starting at 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. They have a pretty mouth-watering Instagram account. See their menu and more info at ciaobellamemphis.info.

UPDATE** Congrats to our winner, Molly Oster, who is taking her boyfriend to the opera and a dinner at Ciao Bella this week!***
