The Southside Virginia Family YMCA is set to relaunch its LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program on June 2, 2026, offering a supportive environment for cancer survivors in Southside Virginia. This 12-week program, which is free of charge, will meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m., allowing participants to improve their physical and emotional health following a cancer diagnosis. Developed in collaboration with the LIVESTRONG Foundation, the program is designed specifically for adult cancer survivors, focusing on holistic recovery that includes physical strength, mental resilience, and social connections. Operations Director Beth Zeisig emphasized the importance of the program in providing a supportive community for survivors, stating, “It gives them a place to feel supported, understood, and not alone.” Participants will work in small groups under the guidance of certified instructors, engaging in tailored exercise routines aimed at building strength and reducing fatigue. The program is open to adult cancer survivors who have completed treatment or are currently in recovery, with medical clearance required. Interested individuals can learn more or register by contacting the YMCA directly.
