LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
Site locations are Bryan Family YMCA, Reidsville Family YMCA and Stoney Creek Express YMCA in Greensboro, Reidsville, and Whitsett, North Carolina.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA® is an evidence-based program for adult cancer survivors. Survivors participate in a health and fitness program with other survivors in a small group setting. Through the program, certified YMCA instructors help patients build muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve energy levels and self-esteem.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA® focuses on the whole person, not the disease. YMCA instructors are trained in post-rehab exercise, nutrition and supportive cancer care. The program is a fully funded program through the YMCA of Greensboro Annual Campaign and is free and open to the community.
