You will receive an email confirming that you have a spot in the upcoming class. Please check your email regularly.



A Reminder of What to Expect:


Exercise helps people with cancer manage and reduce symptoms, and in some cases, it even helps people live longer. Exercise has been shown to reduce pain and fatigue, improve mobility, lower feelings of isolation, nausea, anxiety, and depression, and help with blood pressure, weight management, and other important health indicators. Exercise also lowers the chance of a cancer recurrence for some types of cancer. 

 

This 12-week program meets twice a week for one-hour sessions, for a total of 24 sessions. You will receive your own personalized exercise program, which you will follow with guidance from a highly trained kinesiologist or physiotherapist.  Many participants also say that they feel less isolated and more motivated to exercise in this program, which is accepting and safe for people at all stages of cancer. 

 

This is an evidence-based exercise program that uses intervals and circuit training in a safe, supportive environment.
