Healthy Living Programs

The Y aims to improve the nation's health and well-being by providing programs and activities that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease, and help others reclaim their health.

LiveSTRONG®

LiveSTRONG® At The YMCA

Cancer is a life-changing disease that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on those affected. LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA is the result of these two organizations joining forces to offer a research-based physical activity and well-being program to adult cancer survivors designed to help them reclaim their total health. Y staff trained in supportive cancer care help participants to achieve their goals such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; and improving confidence and self-esteem. In addition to physical benefits, the program focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where individuals affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond.

Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring

Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring

YMCA’s Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program offers personalized support as participants develop the habit of monitoring their blood pressure.

  • Attend two consultations a month with a Healthy Heart Ambassador
  • Attend monthly nutrition education seminars
Cost: $60 for 4-month session
