LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is an evidence-based program that helps adult cancer survivors reclaim their health and well-being following a cancer diagnosis. We’re creating a welcoming community in which survivors can improve their strength and physical fitness, diminish the severity of therapy side effects, develop supportive relationships, and improve their quality of life…at no cost to the participant.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA focuses on you—the whole person—not the disease. Open to any adult 18 years or older who is living with or beyond cancer treatment. This 12-week program meets twice a week for 90 minutes and uses traditional exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help you maintain a healthy weight. Our trained, supportive Y staff will help you to achieve your goals. 3 month family membership is included.

Just as important, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA encourages a warm spirit of community—a safe, comfortable place for you to build companionship with others affected by cancer and share stories and inspiration.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA staff have been specially trained to work with cancer survivors and patients and follow American College of Sports Medicine and American Cancer Society exercise guidelines. They’re exercise experts who can understand your unique physical needs and concerns and help you address them safely. They’re also relationship builders with the empathy and ability to connect with and develop relationships with and among cancer survivors and their families.
