Taking it at Your Own Pace

 

No one experiences cancer in the same way. Participants come to the program with different physical challenges and lifestyle goals. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA provides you with individualized attention and an approach to recovery that targets the areas you need to rebuild. There’s no competition here—physical activities are tailored to match only what you’re able to accomplish.

Expert Caring Staff

 

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 physical needs and concerns and help you address them safely. 

A Supportive Community

 

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

The LIVESTRONG Foundation fights to improve the lives of people affected by cancer now. For 19 years, LIVESTRONG has been a voice for cancer survivors and has directly served more than 3.5 million people. A pioneer in the field of survivorship, LIVESTRONG remains a world leader in providing direct services to cancer patients and survivors, advocating for policies that enhance survivors’ quality of life and developing partnerships that create access to cancer programs across the country. Since 2007, the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program has made a return to fitness and well‐being possible for more than 38,000 survivors in more than 500 YMCA locations. Working with The University of Texas’ Dell Medical School, LIVESTRONG is building the LIVESTRONG Cancer Institutes to reinvent and redesign cancer care for and with people affected by cancer.
