Welcome to NextStepNZ
Your Path to Progress
At NextStepNZ, we’re redefining what a gym can be. With locations in Mount Maunganui, Whakatane, and Hamilton, we’re New Zealand’s first fully accessible exercise and neuro recovery centres, built for everyone—regardless of ability, age, or starting point.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a health condition, or simply ready to feel stronger, we’re here to help you take your next step.
Neurological Recovery
NextStepNZ is a pioneering rehabilitation centre in New Zealand, dedicated to supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries and neurological conditions.
As the only facility in the country offering activity-based therapy, locomotor training, and advanced neuromuscular electrical stimulation, it provides cutting-edge, evidence-based programs designed to enhance recovery and improve quality of life.
Founded on the principle of promoting neuroplasticity through repetitive, task-specific movements, NextStepNZ collaborates with global experts, such as Dr. Susan Harkema, to ensure its methods reflect the latest scientific advancements.
The centre empowers clients—ranging from those with spinal cord injuries to stroke survivors and individuals with cerebral palsy—by fostering functional movement, independence, and overall well-being in a supportive, innovative environment.
A Holistic Approach
We believe wellness goes beyond the physical. That’s why each NextStepNZ location offers a hub of integrated services—think physiotherapy, massage therapy, pediatric DMI Therapy, and pop-up clinics reaching even more of New Zealand.
Inspired by a global vision and rooted in local heart, we’re proud to be part of the NextStepNZ franchise, bringing world-class recovery and fitness to your doorstep.
