pDNextSteps started in 2015 with a goal to provide fitness options for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Exercise has been one of the only things proven to slow the progression of Parkinson's, and we've built a safe, welcoming environment that has become an integral part of our members' daily routines. Today, pDNextSteps is proud to be powered by Changing Parkinson's, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people with Parkinson's live their best lives through education, exercise, and community.
Founded in 2021, Changing Parkinson's has grown from a single 5K walk into a patient-led movement reaching people across the country and around the world. In addition to powering pDNextSteps, the organization produces The Secret Life of Parkinson's podcast and distributes Wish Kits to the newly diagnosed at events nationwide.

We aim to provide resources and to help educate all parties (patients, caregivers, and the public) about all benefits of physical activities and treatments of Parkinson’s disease. We aim to improve the quality of life for these individuals through physical and educational programming
As the only business of its kind in our area, we strive to provide superior services combined with motivational and inspirational support. These traits are what drive our customers to successfully perform the exercises we’ve designed. Best of all, we instill community, loyalty, and a positive attitude in everything that we do.
Melissa Carlson is a certified personal trainer and the owner/operator of pDNextSteps. Melissa has worked in the health and fitness industry for the last eight years and became a certified Delay the Disease trainer in 2015. She started a boot camp class for PWPs in February of 2016 with just three participants. In December of 2018, she opened her own gym that now serves more than 60 PWPs each week.
Classes operate six days a week. She has begun producing an online video series for those who are unable to make it to a class. In her free time, Melissa enjoys spending moments with her family, playing with her animals, and reading.
