LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA:
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is an evidence-based, 12-week health and wellness program designed for adult cancer survivors who have recently become deconditioned or are chronically fatigued from their treatment and the disease itself. The class meets twice per week. Medical clearance is a requirement for all participants.
The goal of the small group series is to help participants build muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. Participants receive a free family membership with program enrollment. (An $82 monthly value.)
Once enrollment paperwork and clearance have been submitted (see below), please contact Shashu Baraka to schedule your in-person intake appointment. The in-person intake appointment completes your enrollment for the desired session. Due to the nature and structure of the program, once the session begins, enrollment is closed. Late inquiries will be waitlisted for the next session.

"Thank you! Thank you! I enjoyed this program, and what it brings to all of us cancer survivors and those still in treatment. What a fun group to be a part of. I am stronger by far because of this program. Thank you, Cancer Center and the Y, for providing this well-adjusted program. I'd recommend it for all those going through challenges."
