LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a program tailored to fit the specific needs of adult cancer survivors who would like to improve their quality of life before, during, and after treatment.
This 12 week program meets twice per week with certified instructors who have undergone specialized
training in the elements of cancer, rehabilitative exercise and supportive cancer care.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA focuses on you - the whole person - not the disease. The 12-week program meets twice a week. Using traditional exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help you maintain a healthy weight, you’ll focus on:
Increasing flexibility and endurance
Enhancing functional ability to do everyday tasks
Improving energy levels, building muscle mass and strength
Reducing the severity of therapy side effects and preventing unwanted weight changes
Developing an on-going physical fitness program, not only as part of recovery but, as a way of life
Improving confidence and self-esteem
CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION
Strong personal desire. Patient needs to personally enroll in the program, rather than a family member on their behalf.
Personally commit to attending all classes.
Inform their physician of their plan to join the program.
Give permission for Y wellness staff to call physician or person giving treatment when necessary.
Complete our screening forms and answer health questionnaire.
This class is recommended for individuals who have finished their cancer treatment recently or are survivors looking to regain health and improve quality of life.
