LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
Improving Community Health
It’s easy to find your motivation for giving to the Hockomock Area YMCA. You’re not just doing something good for yourself, you’re contributing to the greater good of everyone in the Hockomock region.
Here at the Y, our certified coaches, in partnership with the LIVESTRONG Foundation, will help you if you have cancer or have experienced cancer by strengthening your body, mind and spirit. Participation in our program has been shown to improve fitness and quality of life as well as decrease cancer-related fatigue.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a small-group exercise and peer-support program for cancer survivors to reclaim their health and feel better, as illustrated by hundreds of positive testimonials received over the past 13 years.
- Survivors who have experienced cancer at any point in their lives are eligible to participate.
- Classes meet twice per week for 12 weeks.
- Comprehensive program includes structured exercise training and time for social support.
The program is offered at no cost thanks to our generous sponsors and includes a 3 month family membership for the duration of the session.
