Livestrong
A FREE 12-week small group program for adult cancer survivors, family members, and caregivers. The program meets twice a week for 75 minutes. We support cancer survivors in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the time of feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to return to their normal life.
Our staff are trained exercise specialists. They understand participant needs and help each individual address them safely while everyone works at their own pace. Instructors are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise, and supportive cancer care. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA instructors come from varied backgrounds and have particular expertise in group exercise and personal training. Staff work with each participant to fit the program to their individual needs so participants can practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as part of the recovery process, but as a way of life.
