LIVESTRONG at the YMCA

Ongoing dialogue with cancer

survivors through surveys and

research led to the discovery that a

top concern among survivors was the

difficulty of returning to physical

activity after treatment. In response,

LIVESTRONG partnered with the YMCA

of the USA in 2007 to create

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a 12-week

physical activity program designed to

get survivors back on their feet.

Survivors participate in free

customized exercise regimens catered

to their individual needs from certified

fitness instructors. The instructors

are trained in cancer survivorship,

post-rehabilitation exercise and

supportive cancer care. You’ll focus

on:

Building muscle mass and

strength

Increasing flexibility and

endurance

Improving confidence and self-

esteem

This free program is supported

entirely by donations. Contact the Y

if you would like to help in this way.

We’re old enough to know that success starts young. That’s why we’re

advocates for helping children through all phases of their development.

Our child care programs teach children essential social skills and values,

giving them the foundations they’ll need to flourish. Youth swim lessons

build confidence and save lives, while youth sports teach fundamentals and

instill in children the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. Leadership

and social development programs focusing on issues surrounding our boys

and become healthy, engaged adults.
