Health Condition Programs
Exercising with Parkinson's
In partnership with Prevea Health, the Y now offers Exercising with Parkinson’s, a customized exercise program for those with Parkinson’s as part of the Exercise PD program.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA
The Y and LIVESTRONG joined together to create LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors achieve their holistic health goals. The free, 12-week program meets twice a week for 60-90 minutes, using traditional exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help you maintain a healthy weight. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to focus on:
- building muscle mass and strength
- increasing flexibility and endurance
- improving confidence and self-esteem
In addition to physical benefits, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where people impacted by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA helps people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body.
Stay Strong
Because of the success of LIVESTRONG at the YMCA and with over 300 alumni who have gone through the program, Stay Strong is a free opportunity for alumni to continue their wellness journey with the friends they have made as well as an opportunity to meet and share their stories of inspiration with other survivors. Stay Strong meets two times a week and continues to focus on building strength, endurance, and friendships. Stay Strong is committed to helping survivors continue to heal and reclaim their health.
