Let's get stronger together! Join us at the YMCA of Greenwich for LIVESTRONG®, a 12-week program designed to support individuals living with, through, or beyond cancer by offering a chance to regain physical health and connect with others on a similar journey. Each session is led by certified fitness instructors trained in cancer survivorship, post-rehabilitation exercise, and supportive cancer care.

The next session begins on Tuesday, September 8, and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. through December 10.

At the Y, we know how important physical activity can be while recovering from cancer. Research from the Yale Cancer Center and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Institute shows that people in the LIVESTRONG® program experience an improved quality of life and a significant decrease in cancer-related fatigue.

Anyone at least 18 years of age who is living with or beyond cancer treatment is eligible for the YMCA of Greenwich LIVESTRONG® program. For registration and enrollment details or to learn more, please email wellness@gwymca.org.
