LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA

LiveSTRONG® is a free program for adult cancer survivors and comes with a courtesy membership for the 12 weeks of the program.
LiveSTRONG® is a research-based exercise program offered free at Countryside YMCA to all adult cancer survivors. The program runs 12 weeks, 2 x a week and focuses on strength, cardio endurance, balance and flexibility. There are other informational resources such as nutrition and goal setting provided. You do not have to be a Y member to participate (you receive a courtesy membership while in the program). And the program is free to all.
We know cancer and ensuing treatments take a toll on all aspects of health, so we ask that participants in LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA are not in active treatment.
As a cancer survivor, you know the tremendous toll the disease and its treatment can take on your spirit, mind and body. You want to begin to heal and reclaim your health. But where do you start? LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA can help.
In 2008, the YMCA partnered with the LIVESTRONG® Foundation to help cancer survivors begin the journey toward recovery with the LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA program. Part of the Y’s commitment to strengthening community through healthy living, the program offers adults affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person. Countryside YMCA started offering this free program in 2017 and we now offer it at our Lebanon, Landen, and Otterbein locations.
