Reason for Sale
After successfully establishing the studio, building a loyal member base and developing a proven program, the owner is ready to pursue a new professional direction. This creates an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to own an established, rewarding and community-focused business, with the enthusiasm and fresh energy to expand its programs, team and earning potential.
About the Business
Next Steps Movement Studio is an established children’s gymnastics and movement business offering programs for babies through to early primary-school children. Reliable term-based class income is supported by playgroups, birthday parties, venue hire, holiday camps, creative workshops, discos, private lessons and special events.
The business continues to operate below the venue’s full capacity, providing excellent growth potential. Opportunities include expanding Friday and weekend classes, introducing homeschool and additional school-aged programs, increasing parties and holiday activities, developing community partnerships and employing more coaches. The established programs and systems could also be licensed or expanded into additional locations without requiring a larger premises or significant additional investment.
History
Next Steps began as a mobile gymnastics program in 2023 operating from local community venues. As the program grew, many loyal families followed the business into its purpose-built Helensvale studio, which opened in April 2025. The studio was created to give young children a welcoming, non-competitive place to move, play and build confidence while developing strength, coordination, independence, social skills and a lifelong love of being active.
