LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is 12-week program for adult cancer survivors. Survivors participate in a health and fitness program with nine other survivors in a small group setting. Through the program, certified YMCA instructors help patients 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. YMCA instructors are trained in post-rehab exercise, nutrition and supportive cancer care.

The program meets year-round at YMCAs throughout the Triangle. Classes meet twice weekly and last approximately 75 minutes. Sessions are limited to 12 participants.

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is offered at no charge to participants thanks to support for the YMCA’s Annual Campaign.

Cancer survivors must provide medical clearance forms at the time of registration
