Life Beyond Cancer Fitness Program
Ask any cancer survivor and they will tell you that having cancer is a life altering experience. Many years ago a diagnosis of cancer was felt by most to be a death sentence, but that's not the case any more. Increased technology and exhaustive research have brought about new treatments and a new word in the survivor's vocabulary - hope. Today cancer survivors are the norm rather than the exception and they're learning how to live with a diagnosis of cancer. They are discovering that there is life beyond cancer and it can be very good.
Healthy Lifestyles Fitness Center has created a fitness program for cancer survivors of all ages called the Life Beyond Cancer Fitness Program. It is being offered at our new fitness facility located at 55 Augustine Herman Highway in Elkton, Maryland. This program has been uniquely designed for people who are currently recovering from the effects of their surgery or even from their treatment process. Participants experience increased range of motion, improved posture, increased strength, and often report reduced fatigue and an improved sense of well being. It also provides a welcome opportunity for survivors to regain a measure of control over their lives after having been through the trauma of cancer.
The Life Beyond Cancer Fitness Program is led by our Fitness Coordinator, James Tambasco. Jim has a B.S. degree from Wesley College, is a Certified Personal Trainer, a Certified P.A.C.E. Instructor, and a Certified Cancer Exercise Specialist through the Breast Cancer Survivors Foundation and Leading Edge Fitness. He has been trained in the cancer process from diagnosis to treatment and designs individualized fitness programs for participants who are in various stages of the disease. If you are interested in more information, please call 410.620.3101 or email fitness@strong2day.org. We will be happy to answer your questions. All participants must provide a completed Life Beyond Cancer Fitness Program Physician's Consent Form signed by a physician.
