Program Benefits
Keep Or Improve Physical Abilities
During and after cancer treatment, maintaining physical strength can be a challenge. The Fit to Fight program provides personalized exercise routines designed to help you keep or even improve your physical abilities. This can lead to increased stamina, improved balance, and better overall well-being.
Lessen Nausea & Fatigue
Nausea and fatigue are frequent side effects of cancer treatment, making it hard to feel your best. The Fit to Fight program incorporates gentle exercise routines and coaching tips specifically chosen to help manage these symptoms. Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and reduce nausea, allowing you to participate more fully in your life.
Supportive Community
A cancer diagnosis can feel isolating. The Fit to Fight program goes beyond exercise by creating a supportive community. You'll connect with other YMCA members who understand the challenges you face. This supportive environment can provide encouragement, motivation, and a sense of belonging during your cancer journey.
