LIVESTRONG at the Y, free cancer survivor program
Helping people regain their endurance, strength, flexibility and confidence in a supportive and safe environment
Since 2007, the LIVESTRONG Foundation has been the YMCA’s partner in developing and delivering LIVESTRONG at the YMCA; a free, 12-week group exercise program designed to help people affected by cancer regain their endurance, strength, flexibility and confidence in a supportive and safe environment.
The LIVESTRONG program supports the increasing number of cancer survivors who find themselves on the journey from completing their treatment to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to return to normal life. Small group sessions are facilitated by certified YMCA instructors who assist participants in a variety of physical activity options including cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, balance and flexibility. Sessions meet twice each week for 75 minutes. LIVESTRONG creates a welcoming community in which survivors can develop supportive relationships and improve their quality of life. Any adult 18 years
or older living with or beyond cancer treatment is welcome to join.
You do not have to be a member of the YMCA. Nashua Class times vary. Please contact Courtney Taber at the Merrimack YMCA at 603.882.2011 or ctaber@nmymca.org.
