‘Exercise & Thrive’ with YMCA’s free cancer survivor program

The YMCA of Sequim hosts Exercise & Thrive, a 12-week, free cancer survivor program, starting Monday, Dec. 2, and held at the YMCA facility at 610 N. Fifth Ave.

The program is available to all adult cancer survivors, 90-days out of active cancer treatment to participate in the program.

Participants in the program strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve endurance while receiving health and wellness coaching from YMCA personal trainers during bi-weekly, 90-minute sessions.

The ultimate goal, program organizers say, is to help survivors develop their own physical fitness regimen that they can continue on their own after the program ends.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older, have medical clearance from a physician and be willing to commit to the entire 12-week session.

Exercise and Thrive is open to the community for free and is funded by the community.
