LIVESTRONG at the YMCA

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a FREE twelve-week, small group program designed for adult cancer survivors under the guidance of specially trained health and wellness staff. The program is designed to help those affected by cancer gain strength, endurance and function lost through treatment and to gain emotional support and self esteem. The Southington-Cheshire Community YMCAs is committed to provide a safe, welcoming environment for this specialized exercise program and provide community support. We focus on the whole person not just the disease. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA helps cancer survivors move beyond illness to wellness in spirit mind and body.

The class meets for 12 weeks and consists of a cardio, strength and flexibility segments. The class format is tailored to fit each individual’s needs. Each class ends with a segment of either stretching, mediation or a presentation from available resources for cancer survivors. Each participant is given a FREE 12 membership and may use any of our YMCA facilities during our hours of operation.

In Southington, participants may choose to register for either our morning or evening class. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA class is held Monday and Wednesday evening at 7:00 to 8:30 pm and the morning class is held Wednesday and Friday at 11:30am to 1:00 pm.
