NextPhase Fitness Opens in Ashburn

Co-owners and brothers, Doug and Dan Frantzen have opened a new gym, NextPhase Fitness, which focuses on group exercise classes that deploy a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), where heart rate monitoring technology is used, to guide participants through various levels of their heart rate.

“We use all sorts of high-end and custom equipment throughout the classes, and rotate through cardio and resistance training so it’s an extremely well-balanced workout,” said Doug Frantzen. “There is nothing generic about what we do.”

Doug Frantzen left his job at Deloitte as a business consultant, to focus on his passion of health and exercise while Dan Frantzen is working at Accenture and supporting the business simultaneously.

“We have a wealth of knowledge from our athletic experiences, including as D1 Athletes at Virginia Tech, weight lifting competitions, and Dan’s military background so we want to help share that knowledge and inspire healthier lifestyles in the community,” Doug Frantzen added.

NextPhase Fitness, which is located on 21020 Sycolin Rd Suite 115, held a grand opening on September 19.

The company is currently offering 50% off the first month and everyone’s first class is free. There is no contract and clients can choose each class or get a monthly package. For more information on membership costs and discounts, go to http://www.nextphasefit.com/#!membership/cuxg.
