LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA

LIVESTRONG®

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a research-based physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their total health. This program is offered at no cost to any adult cancer survivor, and also includes a complimentary household membership to the YMCA for the duration of the program.

In this 12-week group training program, participants receive one-on-one attention in a group setting, which creates a safe and comfortable workout environment. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to safely achieve their goals such as building muscle and strength, increasing flexibility and endurance, and improving confidence and self-esteem. By focusing on the whole person, LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is helping people move beyond cancer care in spirit, mind and body.

Cancer treatment robbed me of the energy needed for many of the activities I love. This program turned out to be a total blessing! The class members were so diverse in our needs and levels of fitness. The instructors welcomed the challenge and there was never any judgement or competition. I enjoyed getting to know other participants and have been inspired by their progress and enthusiasm. My LIVESTRONG at the YMCA experience has given me the confidence and physical strength to live STRONG and continue an active lifestyle!

After being treated for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, and at the invitation of a friend, I joined the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program. What I found was more than just exercise - it was a community that truly understood what I was going through. Support, strength and shared understanding. The instructors were compassionate and knowledgeable. The program helped me regain physical strength and confidence as the weeks went on. I especially appreciated the supportive group environment where everyone shared their cancer journey. That connection made a difference - it wasn't just about exercise, it was about healing together. I highly recommend LIVESTRONG at the YMCA to any cancer survivor. It is a safe, empowering space to heal and grow. Where you do not have to go through recovery alone. A sense of community and hope.
