ABOUT US
NextStep New Zealand was founded in 2018 for the very reason that there was nothing else around for people in our community with mobility needs to access an exercise and rehabilitation facility with no barriers.
When looking for options of how to create this NextStep the global franchise was found and a trip was booked to see what it was like. There was a unique connection with their facility being exactly how we wanted to be.
NextStep creates a facility that is fully accessible and allows individuals to push towards their goals with no barriers.
NextStep employs qualified exercise physiologists to provide activity based therapy, to push for recovery of function before compensation.
We pride ourselves on being able to challenge any individual no matter their ability in safe and supportive environment. Check out www.nextstepfitness.org if you want to see our global facilities!

What is an Exercise Physiologist?
​
An exercise physiologist is a health professional that has studied for at least 4 years and completed a minimum post graduate qualification and is registered with a governing body. A exercise physiologist assesses a client's medical history, conducts fitness and stress tests as well as monitoring physical measurements such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen, muscle strengths and other physiological measures. An exercise physiologist develops individualised exercise programs for the prevention, management and rehabilitation of chronic health conditions such as neurological conditions, cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.
