The LIVESTRONG at the YMCA
The LIVESTRONG at the YMCA fitness program is for adult cancer survivors who have become de-conditioned from recent cancer treatment.
The 12-week program provides survivors the opportunity to rebuild strength and stamina under the guidance of a highly trained YMCA instructor. Using a combination of individual instruction and group activities, survivors can participate in resistance training, cardio and functional activities as well as flexibility exercises.
We are committed to helping all participants develop their own fitness program to continue healthy lifestyle habits, not only as part of recovery, but as a way of life.
Please contact the YMCA at 715-362-9622 for more information.
