LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program is a structured exercise program in a supportive environment. It is designed to improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance and flexibility. Here at The YMCA of Coastal GA we are happy to serve you in many different ways. We understand one of the most valuable parts of the program is gathering together. We are Staying Strong Together!

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is an evidence-based program that helps adult cancer survivors reclaim their health and well-being following a cancer diagnosis. Participating YMCAs create a welcoming community in which survivors can improve their strength and physical fitness, diminish the severity of therapy side effects, develop supportive relationships, and improve their quality of life. Since 2007, the LIVESTRONG Foundation has been the YMCA’s partner in developing and delivering LIVESTRONG at the YMCA.
