The Next Step Training Centre
In a world where we’re all getting more stuck to our seats, finding a gym that really clicks with you is like stumbling upon a hidden treasure. Let us introduce you to The Next Step Training – a fitness spot that’s all about making fitness feel like a natural part of your life, not a chore.
Mike, the face behind the NSTC, spent most of his childhood playing outdoors, whether on the playground or playing sports with friends. This passion for fitness and sport has carried him through his teenage years and into adulthood.
NSTC focuses on the right movements for each body. Mike’s goal for the center is to boost functionality and athleticism for success, whether in sports or just life. It kicks off with kids, teaching them not just exercises but the importance of moving well. It has a ripple effect – from kids to parents to even grandparents. The gym, once primarily focused on youth programs, seamlessly transformed into a welcoming space for families, transcending age barriers.


One inspiring story within the NSTC community revolves around Cherylene Johnson. Five and half years ago she walked into the center at 58 years old and 70 pounds heavier than she wanted to be. She was frustrated that she was not seeing the results she was hoping for with her current exercise routine. One and a half years later, NSTC helped Cherylene achieve her fitness goals and found her passion in fitness. That passion eventually led her to become a certified fitness leader. Inspiring others with her journey, Cherylene currently teaches classes, trains clients and is the NSTC Manager.
What also makes The Next Step Training special is it’s a judgment-free zone, particularly welcoming individuals in their 40s to 70s who may feel stuck or intimidated by traditional gyms. Cherylene recalled, “Mike didn’t talk sales; he offered guidance. ‘If you trust in me, I promise you will get to your goal.’”
NSTC not only focuses on creating a comfortable environment, a place where people go to train and exercise, but also to unwind, socialize, and recharge. It is a facility that promotes physical activity and provides a safe and functional environment that is pleasant and inviting for everyone in this growing and vibrant community.
If you are interested in experiencing firsthand what this Centre is all about, complimentary classes are being offered.
The NSTC is in their 6th year of business here in Burnaby Heights.
