LIVESTRONG at The YMCA

Since 2008, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA has been a safe, comfortable place for participants to build companionship with others affected by cancer and share stories and inspiration.

During the 12-week program, participants meet twice a week for 90 minutes. They use traditional exercise methods to ease back into fitness and help maintain a healthy weight. Topics include:

  • Building muscle mass and strength
  • Increasing flexibility and endurance
  • Improving confidence and self-esteem

Participants also learn about wellness, stress reduction techniques and how to continue healthful habits after the program has ended.
