About the Program
Livestrong at the YMCA is an evidence-based program designed to reclaim your health while living with or beyond cancer. During this 12-week program, certified YMCA instructors help participants build muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve energy levels and self-esteem.
Livestrong at the YMCA focuses on the whole person, not the disease. The instructors provide you with individualized attention and an approach to recovery that targets the areas you need to rebuild. There is no competition, and the activities are tailored to match only what you can accomplish. Reclaim your total health with Livestrong at the YMCA.
