LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a small-group physical activity and well-being cancer survivorship program that meets at the YMCA twice a week for 90-minutes each session. The program is designed for those living with, through or beyond cancer.
The programs offers people affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to achieve such goals as:
- Building muscle mass and strength
- Increasing flexibility and endurance
- Improving balance
- Improving confidence and self-esteem
- Improving emotional well-being of survivors and their families
- Connecting with other survivors during treatment and beyond
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is an evidence-based program that is offered hundreds of Ys across the nation. The program has proven to help survivors meet or exceed the recommended amount of physical activity, significantly increase their cardiovascular endurance and improve their overall quality of life while decreasing their cancer-related fatigue.
