The Next Step

Time to break the mold! Time to find out what you can do for your body and what your body can do for you.

What's so good about "The Next Step"?
"The Next Step" is not about "The best exercise" or "The best program" or "The latest fad that burns 1000 calories per hour". It is not about those misleading distractions that keep eager but confused enthusiasts pursuing unrealistic dreams.

The "Next Step" is all about YOU. Are you new into training? Or are you an advanced athlete looking to improve your performance?

Whatever your goals are, you need guidance to find out if you are ready to take that important step. You and the health of your UNIQUE structure determine if you will successfully engage in the path of a fulfilling and productive active lifestyle or if you will fail in the process.

What is the experience like?
Your exercise prescription must focus 100% on what is productive for YOU, not necessarily on what everyone else thinks you should be doing. This focus alone INMMEDIATELY eliminates all that could be contraindicated for you and ensures that your transition will be a productive one.

Every client without exception will start with a thorough health screening and the Objective Structural and Biomechanical Analysis

Based on the results of OBSA, we will address the issues that interfere with your performance. This is done through the applications of Integrative Neurosomatic Therapy (INT) and adding an initial exercise prescription that will help you take care of those issues permanently.

This is time for you, and only you working with your coach. You will be exposed to techniques and exercises that are foreign to you. We design the exercises based on your conditions and how the application of forces can help you correct those conditions rather than exacerbate them.

You can be sure you will not find many of those exercises in manuals. We do not follow general protocols, only the principles of physics and how they affect YOU. That is how we design our exercise prescription, not by copying routines from literature.

You will also find out why our services are in high demand. Our client retention is measured in YEARS, not weeks or months. Why? Simple. We have helped many of our clients go from pain-ridden, obliterated individuals, to people who attain their goals time and again. They have regained their health, vitality, and enjoyment of life, not to mention, a brand new physique to go with it.

What kind of training will I be doing?
What kind of training can you expect from Next Step Conditioning Systems? What is available to help you achieve ultimate results? We have many resources available. It all depends on what your long term goals are, where in your conditioning stage you are, and what your present conditions require.

Here's a small sample of the training modalities you will find:
