1% Academy is Ho Chi Minh City's first dedicated youth strength, conditioning, and education facility.

We exist to build the next generation of athletes not just physically, but mentally and academically.

Our philosophy

why "the 1%"?

The 1% isn't about being better than everyone else. It's about the daily choice to get 1% better than you were yesterday.

Improve by 1% every day for a year, and you're 37 times better by the end of it. That's not a motivational quote — that's math. And it's the foundation of everything we do.

We don't promise overnight transformation. We don't sell quick fixes. We build athletes the way nature builds strength — gradually, consistently, and with purpose.

Training Programs

Group Classes

(Junior & Youth Only)

Our group classes are built for young athletes who thrive in a team environment. With a maximum of 15 athletes per session, every person gets coaching attention while training alongside peers who share the same drive.

Each session follows a structured program — warm-up, strength work, conditioning, and cooldown — designed by our coaching team to develop real athletic performance. No random workouts. No wasted time.

Whether you're new to training or already competing, group classes give you the structure, accountability, and energy that comes from training in a room of people who want to get better.

1:1 Personal Training

(all athletes)

Some athletes need more than a group setting. Whether you're recovering from injury, preparing for a specific competition, or simply want coaching that's 100% focused on you — 1-on-1 personal training is the most effective way to train.

Every program starts with a full assessment: movement quality, strength baseline, mobility, and goals. From there, our coach builds a personalised plan that adapts week by week based on your progress.

This is not a generic PT session. It's a coaching relationship — your coach knows your name, your goals, your weaknesses, and exactly what you need to do next.

Online Training (COMING SOON)

Can't make it to our facitlity? We're building an online training platform so young athletes can follow 1% Academy programming from anywhere.

You'll get weekly training plans, video demonstrations for every exercise, and the ability to submit your own training videos for technique feedback from our coaching team. It's like having a strength coach in your pocket.

Online training is currently in development. Register your interest and we'll let you know the moment it goes live — with early access pricing for Foundation Members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: My child has never trained before. Is this safe for them?

Absolutely. Every Junior Athlete starts with a movement assessment so our coaches can see where they're at — no assumptions, no pressure. We begin with bodyweight exercises, fundamental movement patterns, and age-appropriate loading. Your child won't touch a heavy barbell until they've earned it with proper technique. Safety isn't a feature we offer — it's the foundation everything is built on.

Question 2: What ages do you train?

We train athletes from 8 years old through adults.

Our three programs are designed to meet athletes at every stage:

- Junior Athletes (ages 8–16) — fundamentals and base building

- Youth Athletes (ages 16–21) — performance and competitive development

- Elite Athletes (ages 21+) — adult strength, conditioning, and accountability

Each program has age-appropriate programming, coaching, and expectations. No 10-year-old is doing the same workout as a 20-year-old.

Question 3: How many athletes are in each class?

We keep it small on purpose. Maximum 15 athletes per class — so every person gets real coaching attention in every session. This isn't a crowded commercial gym where you're just another face. Your coach knows your name, your goals, and what you need to work on. Quality over quantity, always.

Question 4: When are you opening and how do I secure a spot?

We're currently building the facility in District 2 and will be opening soon. Spots are limited — especially for Foundation Members, who get early access, a locked-in rate before prices increase, and priority spot reservation. Register your interest through the form on this page and we'll contact you personally before we open to the public.
